LA Times Sunday classified ads had a posting for PAX's game show:

"BALDERDASH!  The Popular Home Game is coming to TV!  WIN GREAT TRIPS & PRIZES!  Over 18 - SAG/AFTRA ok.  Call Mon-Fri 10-5PM 323-762-7126"

Good luck!

 And now, as a public service, I offer an LA Times Ad Translation:

"WIN GREAT TRIPS AND PRIZES"

-equals-

"Our prize budget sucks rocks."

 With an omnipresence of "Mo' $ Syndrome" on TV game shows these days, I don't mind this at all.

GREAT PRIZES = A SUPPLY OF PASTA MAMMA'S

GREAT TRIPS = TRAVELSAVERS!

 Just look at this as an example of "No Money Syndrome."  I would give away "PAX Bucks" which could be used for purchases on HSN or Shop NBC.
