Just a good game show. Though I have to admit Classic Concentration is somewhat better than the 70’s Concentration. Alex Trebek was a lot more likable than Jack Narz, plus the prizes were better. 70’s Concentration had a super low budget, and the puzzles were more difficult, I think.

I kind of find it to be a very boring game show ! I never could get into it ! :confused:

The 70s version is the one I grew up with, so it’s fun seeing it again. Definitely low-budget. And the charm of Jack Narz escapes me - he’s kind of awkward.

Lol. Took me longer than it should’ve to figure that one out. For me it’s a challenging game.

I’m not saying it’s bad, but there are definitely many other game shows I’d rather watch.

Having said that, if it got rebooted I’d probably check it out to see what’s up.

I grew up watching the Hugh Downs-Bob Clayton version. And I think Jack Narz did just as good a job as the aforementioned two. I in retrospect didn't care for the Trebek version mostly because of the 25 square board.

When It Comes to both the Narz version & the Trebek version, both of them never got much rerun exposure on Game Show Network but they did get major attention on Buzzr.
