However, Peter hosted a pilot for Goodson around 1990 called "TKO", that involved contestants answering Blockbusters Gold Run-style questions in order to get the right to knock money out of their opponents' scores. There was a piece done on the pilot either as part of a segment or one of a series of segments about game shows for an L.A.-area TV magazine show. [/quote]

First, does anyone have a take of this or a detailed explination of the rules as this could make a great game for Big Jon to do.
Second it's surprising that G-T was still trying to come up with new formats after the failure of Trivia Trap and the fact that so many of their classic formats were still in production. I mean when you have
Family Feud
Match Game
TPIR
To Tell The truth
And just ended production on versions of Card Sharks and Password, why not just trot a new version of another classic.
