1. The Riddlers -- Unsold game show pilot from 1977, hosted by a very young David Letterman. Dave was hilarious - who knows how history might have changed if this show had been picked up! Celebrities include Joanne Worley, Joyce Bulifant, Robert Urich, Michael McKean, and Debralee Scott. Made for NBC, the show aired one-time only on the Game Show Network.
2. Crossword -- Before (The) Cross(-)wits and Merv Griffin's Crosswords, there was this unsold 1966 game show pilot hosted by George Fenneman.
3. Twisters -- Elements of past and future Bob/Sande Stewart game shows are featured in this 1982 unsold game show pilot starring Jim Perry.
4. 21 -- Two contestants, each in an isolation booth, both racing to score 21 points, as we present the unsold 1982 pilot of 21 with host Jim Lange.
I don't know what that song was in the beginning. The record button was accidentally pressed for a second, recording that song. My apologies.
The theme and contestant intro are renditions of "Don't Let it Show" and "Hyper Gamma Spaces", both respectively by The Alan Parsons Project.
5. Celebrity Double Dare -- Hosted by Bruce Jenner and featuring Heidi Bohay and Scott Baio, this was a 1987 pilot attempting to turn Nickelodeon's Double Dare into a show for adults. While the core of the game stayed the same, there are a lot of weird differences that make the game not feel totally like Double Dare. Bob Hilton was the announcer. Produced for the FOX Television Network by Viacom Enterprises, Inc. Productions.
6. The $10,000 Sweep -- The pilot with the most money ever won at the time on daytime TV. Made for the ABC Television Network by Bob Stewart Productions. Aired only once on the Game Show Network.
7. Going, Going, Gone! -- An unsold game show pilot that is part four-cup monte, part auction, part Let's Make a Deal, and part (The New) Treasure Hunt. The latter of the second round and the third round are unknown. The Game Show Pilot Light does not know either. Created by Ralph Edwards.
8. Get Rich Quick -- Before Go(!) and the original endgame of Chain Reaction, there was this unsold pilot with Robert Urich, John Ritter, Debralee Scott, and Lynnie Greene. A Bob Stewart Production. Broadcast only once on the Game Show Network.
9. Malcolm -- A year before he started hosting Jeopardy!, Alex Trebek emceed the unsold NBC pilot Malcolm. A Merrill Heatter Production.
10. Dollar a Second (1981) -- Chuck Barris' attempt at reviving the Jan Murray classic show. Didn't work out.
11. The Honeymoon Game -- Jack Barry's first game show creation for syndication, before "The Joker's Wild."
