Both with $10,000 end games which was really HUGE money back in the mid 1970s!  I could stand to win $10K even in 2025!

Stumpers is an oddity for me. Obviously I will generally prefer more game shows to fewer but I think having even four or five clues to pick from would make for a better flowing game.

It'd flow even better if the players made up the clues themselves.

TLEberle:
We just had to wait a couple years for that anyway. I suppose that’s a plus.

How could that work, if your object is to give clues to your opponent that will keep them from guessing a word? You could say anything.

GIVER: Kumquat...
OPPONENT: Fruit?
HOST: No, sorry, the answer we were looking for was 'Philosopher.'
OPPONENT: <looks blankly confused>
HOST: We'll be right back with the bonus round.
