Most obscure game shows
TimK2003:
So George Schlatter has most, if not all, episodes of "Laugh In" preserved on tape. Does anyone know if the game show spinoff "Letters To Laugh In" was preserved on tape by Schlatter as well?
Granted it didn't last as long as it's parent show, nor was it as good, but one would wonder if George made an effort to keep his other work from the NBC bulkers?

I was seven years old when this aired and I remember it vividly. Four contestants watched a blank screen. Whenever a picture would appear on the screen for a split second, the player who buzzed in first won $5 in the first round, $10 in the second round. The winners from Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday would face-off on Friday.

Thanks for that memory..BTW, I miscounted..It was a 26 week series rather than 13..

I remember it too, with VJ-reject Dave Holmes.

I only caught a segment once, but I remember the really neat eggcrate display - big numbers, and staggered, to fit a ransom note-type feel.

Until I read of its original host's death, I had never heard of the Massachusetts quiz bowl show "As Schools Match Wits" - it was actually cancelled a few years ago but is now back on the air since '07 or so. "As Schools Match Wits" premiered the same year that "It's Academic" did, 1961.
