In a way, it was; only the endgames were different.
Cordially,

I vote yes. Both shows had the same concept.
Matt Ottinger:
Speaking of "Stars," this probably doesn't count but it's interesting. Remember Ruckus, that wild stunt show hosted by The Amazing Johnathan? Made for syndication, but ended up just seen locally on WNBC until Game Show Network dragged it out a time or two? Its bonus round was a reboot of the short-lived 1967 series Reach for the Stars. Merv created and produced both series.

Was it really seen just on WNBC? That must be the record for the most obscure older series GSN ever ran. Even 1968's Perfect Match was seen on more stations than that.

Double Talk I would contend is a revival, since the core game play and structure are virtually identical
