No. Actually, The pilot was hosted by Jim Lange in the late 1980s. But what are the rules for The Puzzle Game?

I have a somewhat curious question: Do you realize that you've been labeled by some as an annoying person and thus won't be getting any help unless you contribute to the community?

I'm not trying to be snarky. I just want to know why it seems like he doesn't get it.

That's OK, Fan4Sure. Some people on this board would rather ridicule others and engage in degrading posts than help, mocking the original poster.  Here's the shake-down of the original Puzzle Game, as told to me by Jim Lange's neighbor from Yorba Linda (oddly enough, named Linda Yorba):

Three contestants were given giant jigsaw puzzle pieces.  Jim would ask questions, and whoever answered correctly got to put a piece in (hopefully the correct) place.  The two people who put the most of their puzzle together by the end of round one moved on.  Round two consisted of the two remaining contestants sitting in a mock living room on leather chairs, doing the New York Times crossword puzzle.  Whoever filled in the most of the grid by the end of this round went on to the bonus round.  Here, Jim asked the contestant five questions that were previously given to a sample of 100 people.  The contestant was awarded points based on how many of the 100 people gave the same answer.  Then the player's pre-selected partner was brought out and asked the same five questions.  If they got more than 200 points, they won $5000.  Sadly, the pilot was never approved, due to the similarity of the bonus round to Family Feud, and the boringness of the rest of the game.

If you can, get a picture or screen grab from the pilot.  Jim shaved his head in protest Jimmy Carter's grain embargo against the USSR.

\At least, that's what Linda Yorba told me.

Is that the same Linda Yorba who's originally from Athens?  I had been neighbors with her brother, Jimmy Yorba about 30-some years ago!!!  

Coincidentally, Jimmy once told me that he was the favorite to host the pilot of The Puzzle Game, but despite being the longshot, Mr. Lange got the gig instead.  Jimmy Yorba replied, "What were the odds on that happening?"

(Jimmy later went on to greater fame after dropping Yorba from his name...He became known on TV simply as "Jimmy The Greek").

Actually, that should have been a remake of catch phrase.

If you already know that The Puzzle Game was a remake of Catch Phrase (which is correct, BTW), why do you ask the question in the first place?
