In Page 10 of this issue, there is a short blurb about an ABC pilot that never came to Fruition called The Name Game.  Which was hosted by Bob Eubanks.  They said it could mark Paramount's first entry into the first run game show market.  Well, Did Broadcasting forget about Wipeout, Make Me Laugh, Anything for Money?  Also, in that same blurb they mention Fred Silverman reviving Dotto for NBC.

Oops!  I forgot the link!  Here it is!

On Page 31 there is a long list of game shows on the docket for NATPE in 1990.  One thing, I don't really understand is Match Game produced by Ralph Edwards and Stu Billett.  Maybe, it was going to be a joint venture between Edward-Billett and Goodson.

Can someone care to elaborate on this?  How about the syndie version of Classic Concentration?  Who was going to host it?  We know Alex couldn't.  Since he was tied up with J!

You're quoting YOURSELF now and asking for people to elaborate? Are you kidding?

Thanks for that, I needed a good laugh.
If you didn’t create it, it isn’t your content.

In Page 35 also in this issue:  

 slightly OT: There is talk about Chuck Woolery and his talk show which our own Randy West announced, Pat Sajak getting into the daytime business hosting a talk show produced by Merv Griffin.  

But to get back on topic, King World is talking about the possibility of relaunching Monopoly, Dick Clark Productions, having several game shows in development and considering taking LMAD into first run, Speculation about MGP doing a deal to bring MG and TTTT to syndication.  As well as the talk about Scrabble, and there is talk about a grown-ups version of Get The Picture.  Gordon Elliott was the first choice to host the show but he signed on to do TTTT90 instead.  And I believe it led to the legal problems that Gordon Elliott had which resulted in him leaving TTTT90.

This was unrelated to the Nick series. A generic three-player answer-the-question guess-the-gradually-revealed-picture sort of deal.

Makes sense...the Nick version didn't premiere until about 8 months later.

Right before the show premiered, I remember there being a board game called "Get The Picture". I can't remember if it was more of a Pictionary-type game, but I do wonder if this pilot was based on that game.

Now celebrating his 22nd season on GSF!

I presume, then, that "Get the Picture" is the show that Gordon wound up getting into legal trouble over once TTTT premiered.

You would be correct.
