The Game Name's the Same
Jimmy Owen:
There are instances where a show will have a segment within the show that takes the name of another show. Examples "Blank Check" (now "Check Game") on TPIR and "Bullseye" on "Family Feud." What are some other examples, if any?

Bullseye of course is also a pricing game on TPIR, as is former game show title Pass the Buck.
Double or Nothing was a red category on Wink TTD in the 80s, and a 50s game show title with Bert Parks. Take Two was a Caldwell TTD category that's also a pricing game on TPIR. SHowdown was a 60s game show title, the original title of The Big SHowdown, and a Caldwell TTD red category.

It Takes Two was a game show title in 1969-70 and 1997 and was also a mini-game on High Rollers 1987-88.
Bob Zager:
There was a 1960s show called Temptation with Art James before the pricing game on TPIR.
I believe Win, Lose or Draw initially called their "Speed Round," the "Lightning Round," which was better associated with Password.
There was Hot Seat--the show, and of course, they use that term on WWTBAM.
It's In the Bag was a title to a game show, IIRC from the EOTVGS.
That's all I can think of off-hand.

Bert called the final round on WLOD the Speed Round from the outset(the premiere week is currently re-re-airing in the 1PM slot), perhaps Vicki called it Lightning Round early in the run of her concurrent NBC version.
Temptation was a 1980 unsold pilot hosted by Jed Allan, not related to the 60s ABC show.
And Bob Zager and the Silver Bullet Band haven't released an album in eight years, and are on the ballot for the R&R Hall of Fame for 2004, or at least Zager himself is :)
