GSN Jeopardy!
Ed:"I'll take adventure heroes for $200."
Host: "The answer is - The masked swordsman Zorro's name comes from the Spanish word for this animal. (answer disappears from screen, replaced by three boxes) Is the correct question, (A) What is a tiger? (B) What is a lemur? or (C) What is a fox?"
Ed rings in: "I think it's C."
Host: "Is it....C?" (four second pause - C box lights up green) You're correct! Pick again!"
Something tells me the game would only have a Single Jeopardy! round because the multiple-choices would eat up so much time.
"If you’re just joining us, we are preempting your regularly-scheduled encore episode of Celebrity Family Feud to bring you this special report."

I was going to comment that that's too difficult for GSN, but then I realized if it's on GSN and worth $200, it'd be at the bottom of the board.

They could always call it "Classic Jeopardy" and make the board values the same as the initial NBC Fleming run.


Going back to the original post: 

"Welcome to Countdown..a British classic comes to the US.  And Here's your host,....Give it up for Terry Crewwwwwwwwws!!!"

"Concentration"

Host: “Call two numbers, one at a time.”
Contestant: “I hope there is something wonderful behind number fourteen!”
Game board: “Click, click. Whirrr. Click.”
Host: “It’s a sofa. (To the off-camera announcer:) Tell us about the sofa.”
Announcer: (Reads sponsor’s copy.)
Host (To the contestant): What would do with that sofa if you won it?
Contestant: (Explains in great detail what winning that prize would mean to her, the family (cut to a shot of them in the audience), and generations to come.)
Host: “Alright, call another number.”
Contestant: “Twenty one.”
Game board: “Click, click…”
Host: “We’ll find out what’s behind twenty one after the break.”
