 Obviously, not too many people enjoyed Bruce Forsyth's Hot Streak, or it would have had a run longer than 13 weeks.  :-)

Seriously, I enjoyed it too.  And I liked the gaudy oversized bonus win sign that presaged what WoF did a few years later.  :-)

Hot Streak was a Reg Grundy Production? I really did not know that.

I presume that the closing bumper with the spinning ornate "RG" logo and Ellis Brothers tune was used, correct?

Hot Streak might have had a longer had it not been on when Price is Right was on CBS and WOF on NBC.

 Yes, and you can even see a RM clip of a Hot Streak closing HERE.

It's toward the bottom of the page.

I really didn't enjoy "Hot Streak" in 1986, because I was only 1 year of age then !

"Hot Streak" was a clever show, but to be honest, even though I enjoy Brucie, he really hurt the show. His style was too British. A contestant would make an error and Bruce would spend over a minute teasing and mocking the player in a very loud accent. Richard Dawson did the same thing, but he sorta got away with it because he was particuarly suave and charming, aspects he lost in 1994.

And it might of appeared to Average Joe or Jane that the host slapping his name on his own show would come-off as pretentious.

However, his farewell speech was great for the way he praised America. Despite the fact America pretty much rejected him, at least he was a good sport about it.

I was a little older back then, but I never watched again after the first episode. Didn't care for the aspect that the third or 4th player had no idea of what key words had already used to describe the subject of the round, and they were going in blind. The odds were too much against them, and an end-to-end success would be more a matter of luck. If, like Taboo, a monitor or off-screen writing board had a list of the key words already said that the next describer could see, forcing them to think of alternative words, I might have appreciated it more...

I was only 25 when it came out. Very frustrating show in my opinion.  I only watched it once.  One thing I do remember was a round where the word was "ant" and the second player said something like..."Not your uncle but your...." and the next player spent precious seconds saying "gaunt" with out the g over and over.  Everybody got obtuse as it went along.  Not fun.

 Umm...

1) Hot Streak was 3 and 17 years before Talk About and Cram, respectively

2) Besides, to label a show as a "rip-off" usually implies that you didn't like it.

 Ummm...I think Hot Streak pre-dated Talk About by a few years, and Cram (which is nothing like Hot Streak) by a decade and a half.

 I think most people here know that Cram is 2002 dated. Don't feed the trolls, Foster.
