YouzTube99 Same opinion. Perry was unsurpassed in structured shows. Nothing phased him and yet he never let it feel static and structured. Monty was the best at wildcard shows where anything could happen. Nobody else comes close to either of these masters.
The theme tune is also used in the UK version of TPIR (Bruce Forsyth era). Makes sense for them to reuse a theme a theme tune more than once, especially for a pilot.
Wow what a find! I recognise the "New Price Is Right" set .... But the 3 color groups concept reminds me of Tattletales. The theme music sounds like a remix of NPIR with a hint of Tattletales circa 1970s. Thank you for sharing!
Interesting set-up. I would've definitely made a show of this type appointment viewing at my house. Also, kudos to Mark Goodson for turning Mattel's Ker-Plunk into a suspenseful bonus round!
Wow - gameshow overload! I read through the other comments to make sure I wasn't imagining things. Not only is there the Price is Right connection with the set and Nighttime model Lisa Stahl, Gene Wood announcing, the connection with Card Sharks with Jim Perry, but also All-New Let's Make a Deal's announcer Brian Cummings delivering the promo and the ZONK. Contestanr "Roger" and his "family" really did well on this show :). I had to laugh when I saw Contestant Edna pulling the rod for the Avalanche game. The look on her face!
They open the show with "Here it comes," they use the '90's nighttime Price is Right theme (and the dinging bell from the same show), and they use something called a Zonk. So it's like a hybrid of The Price is Right, Let's Make a Deal and lottery game shows (can't remember which ones I saw these games on).
And $1,000,000 Flamingo Fortune from Florida, too... And especially the god-awful pile of crap from Ohio that replaced Cash Explosion Double Play known as Make Me Famous, Make Me Rich...
@@andrewschroy6368 But Ohio was the only state lottery that said "NO!" to the Goodsons (or Sande Stewart); they didn't need them to jazz up Cash Explosion (still on the air after 35 years, making them *the* longest-running, weekly episodic program in TV history (and _not_ WWE Raw)).
Technically, it wasn't a true pilot..more a "sales presentation". They had a rough format put together to pitch to state lottery officials and it could be customized to their specific needs, games, etc. It's also likely that while Goodson was very good at keeping masters of shows, this wasn't kept around.
+WinkMartindale That's Roger Dobkowitz,longtime producer of TPIR, but there is a bonus surprise as the person playing his "wife" was one of the stars of FOX's 90s comedy sensation "In Living Color", Kelly Coffield.
And I think if Gene were still with us, he would've had to cap off the show with his famous end-quote: "This is Gene Wood speaking for The Lottery's Cash Tornado! A Mark Goodson Television Production!"
Does anybody know why they don't announce today's game show revivals as "A Mark Goodson/Bill Todman Production"? They developed and produced most of the game shows currently on television, and I think that they should still get credit!
When Pearson bought the Goodson library there was a section in there that read, basically, the show must be produced under the banner of A Mark Goodson Production, for a period of time. After that it became Pearson, then All-American and now everything is under the FremantleMedia banner. That's just how the deal was made.
That game with the swinging pendulum looks a lot like a game they play on the current let's make deal. Except on there it's a roulette wheel. Zonks included lol. Also I just watched the carnival pilot and it had the same avalanche game different name of course. Lol. But still fun to watch!
Did anybody else realize that this gameshow was shot on the same set as The Price Is Right??? And they used the same music and some of the same sets/props...
Free Fall, that game looks like it plays a lot like Plinko. I wonder why a lot of these games didn't wind up on The Price is Right. Force Field looks like it could work on the show too! Of course, it would be one of those games that you get one free swing of the pendulum, but you have to earn the other three by pricing groceries "higher or lower". As for the "ZONKS", they're already in play as it is.
The intro spiel wasn't wrong - Cash Tornado really was "the newest breakthrough in game shows", since it reinvented what it meant to be a lottery game show. Lottery game shows at this point (July 1993 for the pilot itself, April '94 for the sales presentation) tended to be little more than "pick boxes for money" or "spin a wheel for money", and while Cash Tornado didn't sell in this specific form (although I think as-is it would've made a great companion to The Big Spin) it spawned Illinois Instant Riches in July '94 and set off a whole franchise of shows for Jonathan Goodson. Even if Goodson isn't behind a show, the influence is likely still there -- Ireland's "Big Money Game" has Vortex as its bonus round, Australia's "Cash Bonanza" in 2001 (hosted by Aussie "Price Is Right" host Larry Emdur) was this with a Wild West theme, and Monopoly Millionaires' Club has a "Monopoly"-style take on the concept. 21 years later, and the "Cash Tornado" keeps spinning. :) [EDIT 5/4/17: The tornado stopped last year. Meanwhile, Ohio's "pick boxes for money" game Cash Explosion is celebrating its 30th Anniversary.]
In the early days of Cash Explosion, and as evidenced by a couple of full episodes on YT (one uploaded by the Ohio Lottery themselves), players would pull random numbers from a box in a relay race-style format; whoever's first to the top wins $50,000. In addition, there were two hidden bonus spaces; if a player lands on one, he or she would either keep playing for the $50,000 or take the bonus prize, which was usually a new car (made in Ohio) or a stay at one of the Ohio State Parks.
Also Wink, a couple of Jim Perry's former dealers on his run of Card Sharks Janice Baker and Kirstin ? filled in for Holly Hallstrom during her leave of abscene of The Price is Right in 1984.
I was STUNNED to see the host of Card Sharks hosting a promo for Cash Tornado. That would have been a huge hit for Mark Goodson (FremantleMedia) and the CA Lottery.
Seems like they removed the 3 doors and just used the car backdrops for the game sets and looks like the car backdrops are in the same areas they’re always are when presenting a car on Daytime and Nightime PRiCE.
What??? Jim WHAT??? THE Jim Perry who stepped out of the game show world in late March 1989 after NBC axed $ale of the Century? The same Canadian man who made his American debut hosting Card Sharks: The NBC Original Series in April 1978?
I call it a remix of a remix of a remix. The bass line is noticeable, but the melody is so butchered, that unless you were aware that there was even a "jazzy" version of the "Price" theme, you'd have thought it sounded like a mess.
Which was my point. Unless YOU knew (which most people don't, and this was posted to my regular page, lots of non game show fans), you wouldn't have known that it was the "jazzy" (aka Davidson) theme.
That looks like the Doug Davidson Price is Right set and those games were the same one that was used here for Illinois Instant Riches. It is great seeing Jim Perry here.
Mononpoly Millionaire hosted by Billy Gardell capitalized on this concept. Only way to get on that show was to enter losing Monopoly lottery scratchoff tickets and be selected from a random drawing. Multiple states participated in the show.
+sshuffield70 TNPIR'94 began taping in July 1994. This was taped in July 1993, and the set pieces here have more in common with the '93 (Davidson/Kriski) pilots than they do the Davidson series.
That looks EXACTLY like Studio 33 (aka: The Bob Barker Studio) at CBS Television City, not to mention I'm hearing what sounds like The New Price is Right theme (the syndicated version of TPiR with Doug Davidson as the emcee).
Oh, this is definitely the template for changes to The Price Is Right, down to the colored t-shirts (the poor woman losing her tube top probably did a lot to change the street clothes policy), the colored sections of TattleTales and maybe even some of the stage lighting. No luck for the show but it did change some Goodson games in good ways.
Gene Wood is the show announcer, but Beau Weaver is the voice of the promotional spiel. It's very hard to make an compelling lottery game because, by law, lotteries must be based entirely on chance. There can be no element of skill at all.
I'm shocked that Jim Perry hosted another game show after Sale of the Century! Even more surprising is they are using just about everything from the Doug Davidson version of The Price is Right. Wait is that Rodger Dobkowitz?
Jim was awesome and I'm sad this wasn't picked up...also I always and I mean always thought if NBC went with Jim (fresh off sale of the century) to do the 1990 Disneyworld revival of LMAD it would have ran big time...always saw sale as a more cerebral LMAD and even as a 10 year old I always thought Jim would have been better than Bob Hilton. and even better than a disenthused Monty (He really wanted nothing to do with LMAD at that point and it showed he loved the people but hated the games after doing the same thing for almost 30 years who can blame him)
Oh, Mark. Classic Concentration is absolutely not a G/T creation. Both it, and the 70s reboot, are based on the game originally created by Jack Barry and Dan Enright. You don't get to claim that one, even if you did produce both of the reboots.
also don't know why this didn't get picked up seemed a lot better than Big spin (which Jonathan took over at the end of its run which showed yes had elements of this) But lottery games are fickle and odd...see the holy hell monopoly millionaires club went thru not with the game but with the lottery component
Jim Perry could host any show.
Jim was a super host! He could do no wrong!!
For a structured show, Jim really was terrific.
IMO, Monte Hall remains the best for shows that were complex and presented a lot of variables.
YouzTube99 Same opinion. Perry was unsurpassed in structured shows. Nothing phased him and yet he never let it feel static and structured. Monty was the best at wildcard shows where anything could happen. Nobody else comes close to either of these masters.
If I could choose my favorite host, Jim Perry is the winner.
Jim Perry deserved to host a prime time million dollar game show.
I've always liked Jim Perry. He was quite tall and nicknamed "Gentleman Jim" because he was such a kind man. R.I.P., Mr. Perry.
The theme tune is also used in the UK version of TPIR (Bruce Forsyth era). Makes sense for them to reuse a theme a theme tune more than once, especially for a pilot.
I enjoyed watching this video..have watched it several times. My thoughts go out to June and his family. RIP Jim.
Probably wouldn't have changed its result, but watching this sizzle reel only makes me wonder what TNPiR 94 would have been like if Perry hosted it.
Wow what a find! I recognise the "New Price Is Right" set .... But the 3 color groups concept reminds me of Tattletales. The theme music sounds like a remix of NPIR with a hint of Tattletales circa 1970s. Thank you for sharing!
Nice to see Jim Perry and Gene Wood again though I do miss them both.
As Ron Swanson might say, "You had me at Cash Tornado".
Here's hoping we see the full pilot episode someday in honor of the dearly departed, but not to be forgotten, Jim Perry...
Interesting set-up. I would've definitely made a show of this type appointment viewing at my house. Also, kudos to Mark Goodson for turning Mattel's Ker-Plunk into a suspenseful bonus round!
Looks like they used the set for the syndicated price is right and tweek the theme from that.
Mark Goodson Productions has since been renamed Freemantle Television. RIP, Mark Goodson,Jim Perry and Gene Wood.
While this didn't go national, Mark Goodson's son Jonathan used this concept to produce gameshows for several state lotteries.
Wow - gameshow overload! I read through the other comments to make sure I wasn't imagining things.
Not only is there the Price is Right connection with the set and Nighttime model Lisa Stahl, Gene Wood announcing, the connection with Card Sharks with Jim Perry, but also All-New Let's Make a Deal's announcer Brian Cummings delivering the promo and the ZONK.
Contestanr "Roger" and his "family" really did well on this show :).
I had to laugh when I saw Contestant Edna pulling the rod for the Avalanche game. The look on her face!
Jim Perry from Card Sharks and Sale Of The Century.

So it's like a hybrid of The Price is Right, Let's Make a Deal and lottery game shows (can't remember which ones I saw these games on).
having both the set and the theme song of the new tpir is amazing
After having watched this, it baffles me that Big Jim never actually hosted any of the Goodson lottery shows.
Yay, Roger D!
His son Jonathan Goodson did some of the lottery shows, most notably Illinois Instant Riches.
James Klatt
I guess nepotism won out at Goodson. Jim was a great talent.
R.I.P. Gene Wood, Jim Perry
My mother on TPIR at 0:29. You can imagine how stunned I was when my friend showed me this.
so sorry to hear about Jim Perry...I wish we had a video to see what he looked like in his later years
Ah, gotta love The Dob!
Bryce Lozier he's ineligible lol
This blows the CA Lottery's Make Me A Millionaire out of the water.
And $1,000,000 Flamingo Fortune from Florida, too...
And especially the god-awful pile of crap from Ohio that replaced Cash Explosion Double Play known as Make Me Famous, Make Me Rich...
Big spin had something going on (coming from a guy from PA). Maybe, if it wasn't lottery based, we could have a good game show.
I gotta agree with that. Big spin was miles better than that. this should’ve been the replacement.
@@andrewschroy6368 But Ohio was the only state lottery that said "NO!" to the Goodsons (or Sande Stewart); they didn't need them to jazz up Cash Explosion (still on the air after 35 years, making them *the* longest-running, weekly episodic program in TV history (and _not_ WWE Raw)).
Roger was the person who made all pricing games in the price is right
RIP Jim Perry
Jim Perry Was Such A Good Man May He Rest In Peace (1933-2015)
This show reunited Jim Perry with Gene Wood, as host/announcer team.
Probably brought both of them out of retirement.
@@crlaw75 Gene was still working on Family Feud around this time.
This is a July '93 pilot episode of the American TV lottery show "Cash Tornado"; sadly, it's the only episode to be aired in the early 90s. 🇺🇲 🇺🇲
I'm surprised Buzzr didn't include this in their Lost and Found.
Technically, it wasn't a true pilot..more a "sales presentation". They had a rough format put together to pitch to state lottery officials and it could be customized to their specific needs, games, etc. It's also likely that while Goodson was very good at keeping masters of shows, this wasn't kept around.
That Force Field game is pretty clever actually, I'm surprised a variation hasn't ended up in Let's Make a Deal
+WinkMartindale That's Roger Dobkowitz,longtime producer of TPIR, but there is a bonus surprise as the person playing his "wife" was one of the stars of FOX's 90s comedy sensation "In Living Color", Kelly Coffield.
Funny how the final game is basically Ker-Plunk!
I think they still make Ker-Plunk sets today.
And I think if Gene were still with us, he would've had to cap off the show with his famous end-quote:
"This is Gene Wood speaking for The Lottery's Cash Tornado! A Mark Goodson Television Production!"
So I see Goodson reused this set for TNPIR '94... as well as the music...
That's Roger Dobkowitz, longtime producer of TPIR, playing the contestant in the Force Field game.
The future Illinois's instant riches
I find it interesting that they've used various elements and set pieces from The Price Is Right for this.
I think the spotlights where Jim cam from was from the 1986 TPIR primetime special.
Illinois's instant riches had the same concept but it had more noises including the losing horns
I hear TPIR theme of 1994 and I miss Jim Perry
Does anybody know why they don't announce today's game show revivals as "A Mark Goodson/Bill Todman Production"? They developed and produced most of the game shows currently on television, and I think that they should still get credit!

Did anybody else realize that this gameshow was shot on the same set as The Price Is Right??? And they used the same music and some of the same sets/props...
I do. The music was quite close to the TPIR UK version. But not the same I think.
@@nashdatle It's a variation of the same music.
0:41 - Gene Wood: Jim Perry!!

Elements of "Bonus Bonanza" and "Instant Riches" are heavily present.
And "Flamingo Fortune" and "New York Wired", too...
I think the music is The Price is Right theme song. Quiet audience!
Jack Cooper Could’ve used the Body Talk/TKO pilot music (which would finally be used for Illinois Instant Riches).
wow just use the new price is right 94 set and music and bam you get a set
Goodson-Todman should've used "BUST" (instead of "ZONK") to pay homage to Jim Perry's earlier game show 'Card Sharks'.
Dan Taylor Yeah, I wonder why they used that word. Well, I guess you can't copyright it or Monty Hall would've done that.
The "ZONK" came from 'Let's Make a Deal'!
I like when game shows cross there sound effects
They used The New Price Is Right theme and set for this.
Oh and Roger Dobkowitz is in this!
I was STUNNED to see the host of Card Sharks hosting a promo for Cash Tornado. That would have been a huge hit for Mark Goodson (FremantleMedia) and the CA Lottery.
They used the short lived TPIR 94 version set, even the theme. Was this taped before or after Doug Davidson era?
They probably used it before or after they finished shooting The New Price is Right. The set didn't even look like it changed.
After, I think.
Seems like they removed the 3 doors and just used the car backdrops for the game sets and looks like the car backdrops are in the same areas they’re always are when presenting a car on Daytime and Nightime PRiCE.
This was after the Doug Davidson-era pilots, but before the actual series began taping.
Why couldn't Jim Perry host TPIR 94 that would of been amazing
With talk shows ruling daytime back then plus the OJ Simpson Trial it still would not last. Also you don't waste talant on a show like TPIR 94
Something about Jim Perry on a CBS stage just doesn't seem right.
@@wschmrdr Because of his eleven years on NBC.
That is the set from The 1994 version of The Price Is Right.
Jim had been retired for sometime when this was taped, i suspect he may have only committed to this as a favour to Mark Goodson.
Is like the price is right, lmad & Monopoly millionaire club combined together in one show
frankly i'd just take the magnetic game by itself, that thing is cool as shit
Heh, the theme song sounds like The Price Is Right '94 in reverse.
Nope its not played in reverse.
Yes I know. Just sounds like it to me due to the missing parts.
Brad Davis It is not played in reverse. It's one of the vamp recordings. It can be heard at the Museum of Television Production Music website.
Looks like it was shot in the Bob Barker studio, as the layout is kind of the same.
What??? Jim WHAT??? THE Jim Perry who stepped out of the game show world in late March 1989 after NBC axed $ale of the Century? The same Canadian man who made his American debut hosting Card Sharks: The NBC Original Series in April 1978?
he's actually from my hometown Camden NJ
I know that.
that music sounds like the theme from the syndicated price is right
I call it a remix of a remix of a remix. The bass line is noticeable, but the melody is so butchered, that unless you were aware that there was even a "jazzy" version of the "Price" theme, you'd have thought it sounded like a mess.
thats because it is. they are using the Doug Davidson version of The Price is Right.
Which was my point. Unless YOU knew (which most people don't, and this was posted to my regular page, lots of non game show fans), you wouldn't have known that it was the "jazzy" (aka Davidson) theme.
Sorry I didn't see that other post you made.
sshuffield70 Either way, Edd Kalehoff did a good job.
If anybody can get that theme song please let me know even if It is an altered version of the New Price is Right 94.
Jordan Genesis I think they mashed up the npir94 theme
Will the games stop the Dob? :P
It Is From The New Price Is Right Is And The Set Looks Familiar.
Hey, Wink, I don't suppose has this theme version in the clear?
The Museum of Television Production Music website has it.
That looks like the Doug Davidson Price is Right set and those games were the same one that was used here for Illinois Instant Riches. It is great seeing Jim Perry here.
Do you have the full pilot?
Makes me think of Monopoly Millionaires' Club
interesting find, i wonder if tpir94 pilots would ever see the light of day.
Not gonna happen.
Higher!,Lower! Oops wrong show!
Mononpoly Millionaire hosted by Billy Gardell capitalized on this concept. Only way to get on that show was to enter losing Monopoly lottery scratchoff tickets and be selected from a random drawing. Multiple states participated in the show.
I hope to see the full pilot someday. When are they gonna show it on Buzzr?
Never.
Could this be the pilot that turned into The NEW Price is Right 1994?
No, if anything it came at the end of NTPIR's production.
I see. I wonder if Mr. Wink might have a video to the lost pilot of TNPIR '94?
+sshuffield70 TNPIR'94 began taping in July 1994. This was taped in July 1993, and the set pieces here have more in common with the '93 (Davidson/Kriski) pilots than they do the Davidson series.

Because it IS Studio 33!
Oh, this is definitely the template for changes to The Price Is Right, down to the colored t-shirts (the poor woman losing her tube top probably did a lot to change the street clothes policy), the colored sections of TattleTales and maybe even some of the stage lighting. No luck for the show but it did change some Goodson games in good ways.
I love how they just openly admit this is a 30-minute commercial.
Im the business it's called a Sales Tape. Nothing unusual here.
I didn't mean the demo reel itself. I meant **the actual game**, that would have aired, is just blatantly a commercial for the lottery.
Well yes, let's be honest, the lottery wasn't doing this for their health! ;)
One other thing: Had he not been fired from Family Feud, it would’ve been *Ray Combs,* not Jim Perry, doing Cash Tornado.
Gene Wood is the show announcer, but Beau Weaver is the voice of the promotional spiel.
It's very hard to make an compelling lottery game because, by law, lotteries must be based entirely on chance. There can be no element of skill at all.
is this Jim Perry's last show before he retired?
BTW, I recognize that "tornado" from watching the intro to Bonus Bonanza... there's at least one episode on RUclips right now.
Has anyone tried to recreate the Cash Tornado version of the 1994 TPIR theme?
Oh hey, TPiR '94 before 1994
RIP Gene Wood and Mark Goodson.
"Zonk" came from "Let's Make a Deal".
What is Mark Goodson doing with a ZONK? That's Monty Hall property!
Both companies belong to Fremantle now.
OMG cash tornado and there goes a truck vhs version use the same music a surge to victory.
that's roger dobkowitz
+mlrobins2 He was fired from 'TPIR' after the 36th season, according to current host Drew Carey.
Price is right producer 1972-2007
thats because roger dobkowitz is in it
whatever happened to jim perry today? he was a great host! i liked him on sale of the century
gosharks94 he died in 2015.
I'm shocked that Jim Perry hosted another game show after Sale of the Century! Even more surprising is they are using just about everything from the Doug Davidson version of The Price is Right. Wait is that Rodger Dobkowitz?
I think so. I believe so. Surprised to see the co-producer of the Bob Barker version of TPIR playing Force Field.
no no no no no no no no no! The new price is right from '94 one hit wonder
How could Roger Dobkowitz participate? He was an employee of Goodson-Todman (TPIR) at the time.
Because this was a demo & NOT an actual show.
I Sense Force Field Could Have Electromagnets
Jim was awesome and I'm sad this wasn't picked up...also I always and I mean always thought if NBC went with Jim (fresh off sale of the century) to do the 1990 Disneyworld revival of LMAD it would have ran big time...always saw sale as a more cerebral LMAD and even as a 10 year old I always thought Jim would have been better than Bob Hilton. and even better than a disenthused Monty (He really wanted nothing to do with LMAD at that point and it showed he loved the people but hated the games after doing the same thing for almost 30 years who can blame him)
Good to see they are amortizing the Bidder's Row podiums from the 1994 nighttime Price is Right...
So another words, let's use the Price Is Right stage and props.
Wow
This looks like bob barker studios
It is! The Bob Barker Studios at Television City (formerly CBS Television City).
Was this Jim's last TV appearance before he retired?
Oh, Mark.
Classic Concentration is absolutely not a G/T creation. Both it, and the 70s reboot, are based on the game originally created by Jack Barry and Dan Enright. You don't get to claim that one, even if you did produce both of the reboots.
barry & enright were pretty contriversial in gameshows in the 50's cause of one of their shows but we dont talk about that scandle
also don't know why this didn't get picked up seemed a lot better than Big spin (which Jonathan took over at the end of its run which showed yes had elements of this) But lottery games are fickle and odd...see the holy hell monopoly millionaires club went thru not with the game but with the lottery component
