The USA Network version of "Jackpot!"(No,not the NBC version with Geoff Edwards as host and announced by Don Pardo),or "Bumper Stumpers"?The remake of "Jackpot"was not nearly as good as the original,and "Bumper Stumpers"was kinda dull.What did the rest of you think of these USA games?

Both Jackpot and Bumper Stumpers were produced in Toronto, where production costs are cheaper. I remember Mike Darrow hosting Jackpot. He also hosted the original version of Dream House and was also the announcer on The Who What or Where game. He also hosted an episode when Art James was ill.

Bumper Stumpers was created by Wink Martindale and was hosted by Canadian TV personality Al DuBois. It was a game of novelty license plates.
