Coincidentally, one of Barry's brothers is named Dan(ny).

I remember TJW - I want to say the non-CBS episodes - not mentioning any particular make or model of car either.

Neumms:
I still think Break the Bank could have been good without the stars, how they scrapped them after the Joker pilot. There were more different ways a game could play out.

Make them true-false questions, which keeps play-along value for the slow-witted yet can produce wrong answers. Add a bonus game along the lines of the Gambit Board with cool stuff plus some danger boxes.

For funsies, I’d change the blanks into robbers, then in the end game make the villain boxes cops. The opening spiel could be, “Welcome to our game of hide and seek, skill and strategy, and cops and robbers…it’s the new Break the Bank!” (Yeah, I’ve done way too much thinking about this.)

That Don Guy:
Speaking of Barry-Enright, somebody on Facebook insists that the CBS version of TJW was "just" a Jack Barry Production, and that Enright didn't get involved until the syndicated version. Is that correct?

JasonA1:
Yes and no -- right up through the CBS finale, the last bit of the credits said A JACK BARRY PRODUCTION. But starting in January '75, Dan was first up in the credits as the Executive Producer.
