- Show #11 in my Jim Perry tribute is the unsold Bob Stewart pilot from 1982 called "Twisters". While neither this nor another of Jim's pilots sold ("Casino"), he wasn't out of work in the U.S. long, as "$ale of the Century" debuted just two months later.

This was fun! I would have watched it if it had sold.
That was the first time that I watched "Twister." I really enjoyed that show! It was fun to watch. 🙂👍
I actually liked this show's concept -- yes, a little like "Jackpot" -- and, of course, the great Jim Perry.
So the concept of the show was quite interesting. At first I wasn’t sure I thought it was gonna be cheesy. But once it started and I really started to enjoy it. I think it would’ve been a show that would have been a classic. And one that would have lasted for at least five years. And with Jim Carrey as the host I’ll cut it loose?
The format was similar to "Your Numbers Up"
Fun concept
I can see why this show didn't work, though. There were a lot of "Twisters". If a matching number comes up, you work with someone. If it doesn't, you work against. Shame we never got to see the car in play.
this is kinda like Jackpot!
The music sounded a lot like "Jackpot" and "Shoot for the Stars", and also, the definitive classic "Eight O'Clock RNTV Poop" from RetroNauseaTV where they used this theme with the WSBK-TV movie bumper which is quite interesting.
Surprise ending?
the heme was played better this way when it was done for jackpot it was a bit too fast
"Casino"? Don't you mean "Cash Tornado"?
+Mitchell Hang (Gilblitz112) That was for Jonathan Goodson. "Casino" was a pilot for Heatter-Quigley in 1981.
+Raarrow Oh.
@@Raarrow there was another pilot called Casino pitched for GSN in the 2000s, it was later tweaked and became catch 21.
As much as I liked and admired Jim, this doesn’t seem like a great concept
