The year is 1983. Game shows are rebounding after going through a tough spell from 1980 through 1982. Nipsey Russell, a friend of the genre, is in a period of hosting different shows from different genres. Why not give Nipsey a crack at a game show (https://www.buzzerblog.com/review/mega-review-star-words/)? CBS and Mark Goodson Productions did just that with at least 3 pilots. Unfortunately for Nipsey but fortunately for passionate game show fans, it appears that CBS passed on Star Words (https://gameshows.fandom.com/wiki/Star_Words), and opted for one of the most popular games in history, Press Your Luck.
