Yes.

It lasted about a year and a half, starting in March of 97. You might say there were two eras, the Larry Anderson era and the Marianne Curan era. Winnie was still visible on one of the flags even after the logo change. Outside of tapes made by game show fans, I doubt we'll be seeing this one again.

Oh, yeah....Larry Anderson....who single handedly brought down a classic game show in 1988.
GSN must have forgotten that.

Was I the only one who liked that show? OK, it wasn't a good as the original, but I thought it was passable for 1988.

Eh, I thought it was okay. But it got canned quicker than Chevy Chase.

If we're talking about "T or C" (and I assume we are), Anderson wasn't totally to blame, although he was definitely no Barker--it just seemed that Chris Bearde's attempts to contemporize the show just fell flat (and that included Carol Merrill's kid as model, although she was definitely nice to look at).
Considering that even Edwards bombed on TV with the show, I have the suspicion that "T or C" can only work on television with Bob Barker or someone like him.
