Most obscure game shows

Todd was a sports anchor at WLW-T and then moved to SportsTime, an Anheiser-Busch/Multimedia Productions co-owned ESPNesque sports network. I believe TimeOut For Trivia started with SportsTime as a filler. It shared time with FNN, became SCORE, and then folded when FNN became CNBC and went 24/7. The SCORE folks moved to various regional networks which later became FoxSports_____ (Ohio, Cal, NY, Peoria).

Todd Donoho is now a published author, writing a book for young children about the University of Missouri...

I remember "Time Out for Trivia," mostly due to the fact that I tried to call in more than once to play. :)

Wikipedia agrees.
Thanks for the added info, all.

I remembered watching a game show called "Tell Me Something Good" that may have used the actual Rufus song as their theme song. At the age of 4 or 5, I remember three telephones behind the players (kinda like that big phone board on Your Number's Up). That's all I remembered from that show. Another BET show was some show (could be Family Figures) that was hosted by Mario and Melvin van Peebles. It was a good show because it aired before The Price is Right would air. I only saw a few episodes of On the Beat (I may put an episode up), and tried to look at Pay it Off, but missed it.
How about Pressure 1/2? Pressure 1 was slightly better than Peer Pressure 2.
Pretty much any game show that was short-lived and never discussed much after that.

Oh yeah, I remember "Pay It Off" It's too bad that show got cancelled as Kim Coles was a terrific host, and it was more exciting then most of the game shows you see on all the major networks nowadays.
DrBear:
The mention of PBS reminded me of a 1982 experiment called "Top of the World." Three contestants were in studios in London, Australia and Miami, answering questions about each others' countries. Somehow the on-the-buzzer round had some sort of built in delay to equalize the satellite transmission time. Great 2001-style opening. For the Grand Final, the Miami and Aussie contestants were flown to London.
