The Magnificent Marble Machine, lol (yes, that is a real game show)

Oh yeah.The show's host was the late Art James,(remember his LAST game show he hosted the short-lived 1986 game "Catch Phrase"?)and started out as a pretty good celebrity-contestant game,which toward the end of its short run,became ALL celebrities,and soon after was cancelled.And how about these CBS clinkers from the 1970's:'Pass the Buck"(with the late Bill Cullen),"Whew!"(another celebrity-contestant game that was retitled "Celebrity Whew!"(with ALL celebrities)and had Tom Kennedy as its host.),and in the 1980's,1988's"Blackout"(which started out promising,but a format change made it forgettable.Bob Goen hosted this short-lived show.)

I remember watching "The Magnificant Marble Machine." The bonus round was boring to watch and the pinball machine kept breaaking down during tapings. Even an all-celebrity format didn't help the show.
