In case nobody knows, this is from the episode where the lady fainted after seeing the Rolls Royce she had just won! What you're seeing now is from the first game. The lady fainting was from the second game.

This must have been from 1974 due to its familiar type numerical font that was used during the first 2 seasons (60 episodes) whereas the next 2 seasons (last 60 episodes) used a different, if not, smaller type numerical font.
Good observation. Although the show was syndicated, it taped those first two seasons at ABC in Hollywood (there are some ABC crew members, including stage manager Jerry Blumenthal, listed on the closing credits). I doubt that it was a coincidence that after ABC cancelled "The Newlywed Game"--another Chuck Barris show--at the end of 1974, "Treasure Hunt" moved to The Burbank Studios for the rest of its run (including the short-lived 1981 revival).
I don't believe syndicated shows are bound to network rules, and the show was taped at what was The Burbank Studios which is now Warner Brothers in Burbank.
Geoff was supposedly 'fired' after the 1976-77 season. But, the actual reason was that Chuck Barris, for the 1977-78 season, toyed with the idea that he wanted Geoff to present the female contestant a prize, such as a Rolls-Royce, and then tells her she just won the side mirror of the car. Geoff didn't like the idea one bit, and quit. Instead of being renewed, Chuck decided to end the show himself and bring back "The Newlywed Game" with Bob Eubanks instead, to run with his "Gong Show." By 1981, when Treasure Hunt returned, Mr. Barris had no interest in his production company, left the U.S. for France, and left original TH producer Budd Granoff to serve as Executive Producer. Because of this arrangement, Geoff agreed to do one more year, with his old staff, including Mike and Ellen Metzger, Johnny Jacobs, and others.
And as long as he did not have to deal with Chuck (as the sketches became more & more sadistic, Geoff & he were already falling out), Geoff was happy to come back for the 1981 TH, which was a daily instead of a weekly. After the 3's A Crowd fiasco & Chuck shut down every one of his shows in production by the end of 1980, his remaining shows would just be revivals/updates of old formats, more & more authority being delegated to producers underneath him.
For the record, twelve grand in 1974 is worth just over $60,000 today.
Love this clip! This is what made "Treasure Hunt" so fun and watchable-the unpredictability of its payoffs were worth the wait. :)

120 episodes? How many of the 1973-74 are accounted for either online or in collections?
What a great birthday gift
The lovely Susan Duquette ladies and gentlemen. :) A true lady! What did ya do with the money girl?
Love this video!
$12,000 nice surprise for 1974.
How did Chuck get a $12,000 check inside a cake, that's a NICE surprise?
Not really INSIDE the cake, it was at the bottom...Geoff just made it look like it was "inside".
Where was the $ 12,000 inside the bottom of it where was which peace was it under
"In other words, $12,000 in the year 1974 is equivalent to $59,582.80 in 2017."
If this was syndicated, and the check maximum could be $25,000, sounds like this show aired on CBS in certain maakets in 1974.
+Dan Barker It was Episode #36 - "NTH" - 74 VTR: Unknown
+jricci9 Last episode that had a slate was Episode #27 - "NTH" - 73 VTR: 10/7/73
Ok.
If the show ran on CBS owned and operated stations, yes that would have been the limit. I do know the show was taped at CBS Television City.
I don't believe syndicated shows are bound to network rules, and the show was taped at what was The Burbank Studios which is now Warner Brothers in Burbank.
What colored box has $ 25,000
This version should've lasted longer, why was it cancelled?

@@ericandy88 Too bad that Chuck shot himself in the foot.
