Culling my collection, I watched part of a 1976 Break the Bank. I remember watching this show with my father back in the day. Dad watched a few minutes and blew it off as "pedestrian" stuff. That was my dad. He didn't care much for game shows. But I remember he said it would be a better game if they revealed the box after the contestant answered the question instead of before. Indeed, it may be more dramatic if you didn't know what you were going to get, especially if you were looking for the third money bag. There was no suspense if you already knew where it was because you saw it before and rejected it. Did Barry-Enright ever do any test games or pilots where the boxes were revealed later instead of sooner?
