15 Minute Game Show Reviews: The Cross-Wits

Hey, everyone. I'm back with a new video and it's another review of a classic game show. This time, it's The Cross-Wits, a series where contestants teamed up with celebrities to solve crossword puzzles and saw two versions in the 1970s with veteran announcer Jack Clark as host and a revival in the mid 1980s with British(!) born host David Sparks.

Bonus points to the 70s version for the catchy countdown music during the player/celebrity conference.

My DEEPEST sympathy to you about the loss of your Mother.

In the very first season the winning contestant could choose any celebrity. We saw earlier episodes during the rather-brief run on WEWS.
