 I'd agree when it was just \"pick a square, and win a prize\", but then that's not really a bonus round. At least if Tom asks a question and the player agrees or disagrees with the celebrity response, there is SOME tie-in, however lame.

Wow, you guys have done a good job reeling off the better candidates, though...I'd suggest Super Pay Cards' memorization of card positions didn't have much to do with the front game, but at least the cards are there.

Hmm. How about the audience knockout bonus game on The Better Sex?

Or the original bonus mountain on Remote Control, pre-Wheel-Of-Jeopardy? Sure, fit in well with the network it aired on, but how often did they identify videos in the front game?

[quote name=\'HYHYBT\' date=\'Jun 20 2003, 05:07 AM\'] The thread on game shows where the bonus round is an almost exact continuation of the main game got me wondering about any shows where the bonus had as little as possible to do with the rest of the show.

The most extreme example I can think of right now would be the 1986 Hollywood Squares, where you drew a key from a bowl and tried it in a car. Nothing to do with celebrities, tic-tac-toe, questions, or even humor. But there ought to be plenty of room between that and, say, High Rollers, Family Feud, and Classic Concentration for an interesting discussion:) [/quote]
 The syndie run of \"Tic Tac Dough\" is another one I can think of where the bonus round has nothing to do with the main game. Object of the main game is to get tic-tac-toe and answer questions; object of the bonus round is to get to $1,000 or find TIC and TAC - nothing to do with getting three in a row vertically, horizontally, or diagonally.

 And that's all very good, but if you see above, Brandon thought of it first. :)

Funny you should be mentioning TTD, because if you step this way, we'd like to intimately familiarize you with Mr. Patrick Wayne... :)

Well, on occasion \"MTV\" was used as one of the nine channels (quelle coincidence, no?) and contestants played some sort of video identification round (usually \"name the artist\").

If unsold pilots count, $50,000 A Minute had an endgame that really had nothing to do with the front game except in very loose senses.

Or, dare I say, Super Match from MG/HS had nothing to do with half of the show. :)
