Some game shows, mostly Nickelodeon's, had a "developed by" credit to go with the creator credit. One example: Make the Grade: one creator, five developers. "Creative consultant" and "executive consultant" also appear on other shows.

Most everything else he did, however, tended to be clever ideas that we fans recognized as decent games but that the general public never really loved. Also, Stewart shows were notorious for tinkering with rules and formats after they had been running for a while. Had he still been making those formats for Goodson, half of them would never have seen the light of day, and the others would have been hammered out to something resembling perfection before they got on the air.

Which ones do you suggest wouldn't have made it to air? Was Pass the Buck a BASADA production? Would that have made the Goodson but?

who's surprised that PtB hasn't been resurrected in it's 1999 British format

Of all his game shows, which ones did he actually create? Bob Stewart created TPIR and Password. Who came up with the concepts for G-T's other programs?
Does anyone know if a biography of Goodson was ever published?

STeve Ryan was responsible for Blockbusters, Puzzlers, and Spellbinders(the latter two of course unsold pilots), and I think maybe Trivia Trap as well.
CHester Feldman was responsible for Card Sharks
Jay WOlpert was responsible for Trebek Double Dare [/quote]
I thought Jonathan was responsible for Trivia Trap?
Also, who made the decision to reformat TPiR in the 70s?

I know the creator of a game show comes up with an idea but what do the people who developed the show do? And what's the difference between a "creative consultant" and a "executive consultant"?
