Shows Which Changed Production Companies In Mid-Stream

[TimK2003]

In talking with others about the upcoming Hollywood Squares reboot and the Bergeron version on Pluto, this subject came up:

What game shows changed Executive Producers &/or Production Companies in the middle of the SAME series -- not between incarnations?

For Example:

● Hollywood Squares/Bergeron Version -- Started off with Moffitt/Lee Productions, along with Whoopi's One-Ho Productions....Ended with Henry Winkler/Michael Levitt Productions running the show.

● Whew! -- Started off with The Bud Austin Company...Ended with Jay Wolpert and Burt Sugarman Productions  running the show.

● And, of course, the perennial The Price Is Right/Barker-Carey Version -- Started off with Goodson-Todman, then Mark Goodson Productions, then in rapid succession:  All American Television/Pearson/Fremantle Media/Fremantle, where it currently stands today.

Your turn...

Celebrity Sweepstakes is one that comes to mind.  It switched between Ralph Andrews and Burt Sugarman, IIRC.

Wheel and J! were a Merv Griffin Production, distributed by King World. Columbia-Tristar entered the picture in the mid-90s with Sony Pictures replacing them in 2002. CBS Paramount entered the chat a few years later, and now it's CBS Media Ventures or something, in association with Sony.

You’ve got a couple of different scenarios here—shoes that changed production companies due to buyouts and deals (eg Merv and Columbia) and shoes where were contested, such as Sweepstakes and Whew!.  Do note Burt Sugarman was in the middle of both of the latter examples. Not a coincidence
