Would "Jackpot" work? Granted, the NBC version lasted over a year and a half. The USA/Global Network run was three seasons long and then added another year in syndication.
What are some of the more short-lived shows to get a revival? For this thread we’ll say under 12 months.
Would "Second Chance" as "Press Your Luck" count? There's enough common ground between the two .
I would figure if Battlestars qualified, wouldn’t Break the Bank also? Or is the addition of a bonus to the syndicated edition different?(considering the format otherwise stayed the same unlike Battlestars)

Even though the daytime version was cancelled that summer, I wager the syndicated version was in the works for a while, maybe even before the Kennedy version premiered.(goes to the Broadcasting magazine archive)The syndicated version was actually announced first, with the daytime show "under consideration".
Does Child's Play count as a revival of Everybody's/Hollywood's Talking?

The discussion on the High Rollers thread inspired a thought. What are some of the more short-lived shows to get a revival? For this thread we’ll say under 12 months. I’m also thinking the original run, so Cullen’s Chain Reaction and Lingo ‘87 count. CBS 25K Pyramid does not because there were successful versions prior to the 50K version. I’ll add Three’s a Crowd.
