Chuck Woolery's "If you land on bankrupt, you lose all your cash, but not your merchandise because once you buy a prize, it's yours to keep."

Dick Clark's "list of the things that fit the subject..."

Tom Kennedy's "that's the word You Don't Say."

for WOF and no offense to your knowledge but I believe it actually "but not your "Mechandise" because once you buy a prize it's yours to keep"

for the "list of the hings that fit the subject" i'm guessing that's from the "Pyramid" franchise if i'm not mistaken.

Let's face it:this genre of television is hardly designed to tax one's intelligence.

Anne Robinson: "Now the rules. In each round, the aim is to answer enough questions correctly to reach your £1,000 target within the time limit. The fastest way is to create a chain of nine correct answers. Get your question wrong and you break the chain and lose all the money in that chain. If say 'BANK' before your question is asked, the money is safe. However, you'll start a new chain from scratch. Remember, team, only money that has banked can be carried over to the next round. In round one, there are three minutes on the clock. We'll start with the player whose name is first alphabetically. That's you, Cheryl. Let's play the Weakest Link!"

From the beloved Peter Marshall:

"The object of the game is to get three stars in a row, either across, up-and-down or diagonally. The player has to determine if the star has the correct answer or is making one up...."

And: "A player who wins five matches and $2,000 will drive away with this:

cue Kenny Williams)

"It's a Chevrolet Vega, the little car that does everything well...equipped with automatic transmission, radio, heater and whitewall tires...furnished by CHEVROLET...back to you, Peter!"
