CBS 75 TJW clip
Adam Nedeff:
If I had to guess on the Peter Tomarken mystery clip, I'd go with "none of the above." The 1984 NBC special showed another clip from the same pilot where Peter says something like "Here comes the first bulletin!" followed by a Teletype/morse code sound effect, which really doesn't fit what we know about the speculated-about pilots already mentioned. Well, frankly, we know nothing about "Dual in the Daytime," so it might be that, but based on the photo I've seen, the set looks too plain for that. Aaaaannnd now I'm rambling. The "Joker"clip was cool though.

For a week, TJW had tried to have celebrities play the game where the contestants stood & have the contestans stood between Jack Barry. I remember seeing that!
That format failed & were back to contestants only.

The clip of Wink Martindale hosting "Gambit" was, of course, from "Las Vegas Gambit"... which aired on NBC.
Where was IGAS? PYL?

Other Peter Tomarken unsold pilots I only know by title:
Duel in the Daytime 8/23/1981
Show Me The World c1980s
Two Heads are Better Than One 10/6/1990 [/quote]
Having seen Winds of Fortune and Show Me the World, I can tell you the mystery Tomarken show was neither of these titles. Both shows were taped in Asia (Malaysia, IIRC) around 1997.
For those that care, Winds of Fortune's game play centered around the Asian game mahjongg. I don't remember much about Show Me the World, which probably isn't a bad thing.
