Title: Scrabble questions
Post by: bulldog_06 on April 21, 2004, 08:46:34 PM

1) Did the face on the money for blue and pink squares have Chuck Woolery's face on them? The reason I ask because I seen a clip of the finale and it looks like someone's face is on those bills?

2) Is it okay to ask: How much are the format rights to Reg Grundy's Scrabble? Because I am for sure that the format and show screams for a better revival than the 1993 version.

 1. I believe they did have Chuck's face on them, hence their affectionate nickname "Chuck Bucks"

2. It costs whatever Fremangle will sell the rights for, if they will.

When my Scrabble clue was used on the show's open the producers sent me a t-shirt and a pink "Chuck Buck." The play money does indeed have Mr. Woolery's picture on it.

I'll bite.  What was your clue, and how did they do with it?

I would imagine that the audience had no problem yelling it out in unison.

I'd settle for the blue bonus squares they use.  After all, blue IS my favoritte color.  Was there a blue Chuck Buck besides the pink one?

 I don't believe clues/words submitted by home viewers were ever used as game material, but rather used at the top of the show. They sometimes read clues for words ten letters long, and the maingame  and Sprint words were always five to nine letters long.
