So basically the goal was to get a line of squares in any direction... but it could be impossible to do so.

No. When you hit a $100 space, you were credited $100 in cash, and all the spaces reading "$100" were marked. This scattershot method meant you could hit a 300 in one corner, and make Banko with another $300 space two rows over.

Like the front game, was landing on the star still an instant win?

The overall idea for Banko, didn't really sound too bad.

Well, the overall idea was "let's make bingo into a game show." Which sounds nifty in theory, but when you think about it, it's never really worked. Lingo probably comes closest, and the compelling thing about Lingo has virtually nothing to do with bingo and everything to do with the simplified version of Jotto.

You guessed something.  If you were wrong, you got another guess.  It was an attempt at the first 30 second game show.

There is a 60-second analog clock on the wall.  You place a bet as to what second (0-59) the sweep second hand will stop on.  

If you get it exactly right, you win the Malcolm Jackpot.  
If you are within 5 seconds, you win a set of 1968 World Book Encyclopedias.  
Anything beyond that, and the contestant is pelted with sunflower seeds and they must leave the studio with a bag over their head.

/The show quickly went downhill when the Unknown Comic was on for 3 weeks in a row after renaming the show "Celebrity Second Guess".

In all honesty, I'm really not surprised. I think this is his way of "being part of the community."

I've become convinced that Fan4Sure is a highly trained robot. Any time he sees "pilot" his internal circuitry turns on.
