Too late!

That's my boy.
Every Second Counts was a great, forgotten gem that must have been crazy-challenging to host (especially the lightning-quick bonus round) and was probably Rafferty's best work. Having to be compared with three iconic hosts for his two other gigs couldn't have done any favors to his reputation.

I never had a problem with Rafferty hosting BB or CS. He was a humorous host who didn't take himself too seriously. He was a smart aleck, but so were Eubanks, Rayburn and Sajak. I also thought Rafferty could have handled the Family Feud revival in '88.

I'm on "Team Rafferty" myself. That smart-alecky demeanor on all three shows were a departure from the predecessors. Bill mastered BB without a doubt.
/His standup was also pretty funny for the time.

Buzzr has a CS promo now that mentions all 3 hosts. Is Rafferty's version currently airing somewhere on the sched?
