Now You See It is a great game
Fabulous game show!!
Good to see you again Winker
The 1989 version kept some elements from the format from late 1974, but made all questions use the word search board. The 1989 version also differed in that only the line number and the word had to be said.
Not quite. Your description is accurate, but the game play in 1989 compared to 1974 was not the same except for the solo board. I will explain in a further reply.
Yay, a new Wink Martindale video!
I love Now You See It
Was expecting Johnny Olson to throw it over the Bob Barker and the big wheel after those consolation prize and ticket plugs.
TPIR was still on in the afternoons, but we get the joke. 😂
That voice and music
Interesting how they used a TPIR prize cue during the break. Used to watch this show regularly!!
Well, it's from the 1974 TPIR music cue package, however it was only used here. I've watched these shows over my lifetime and I've never heard heard that specific variant used on TPIR ever, other sounding ones yes...but not that one.
The set on this pilot looks similar to me to the one featured on Super Password a decade later, so modern and fresh for its time - love the rare gems posted on this channel!
Huh wut
It was similar but actually it looks no different than it did when the show originated in April 1974 and ended in June 1975.
You can tell when they are ringing in as you can hear the live action before it's revealed in the tape delay.
This was not uncommon for shows in this era. Happens in many if you listen close.
That is caused by thin tape.
11:00 Isn't this that "Rice a Roni" music from _The Price is Right_ ?
It's from the 1974 TPIR music package but this specific music cue (Now You See It variant) was used on this show only. I don't remember it used on any TPIR show going forward.
11:05 This cue sounds familiar...
The Price is Right.
I was thinking this was going to be the series pilot at first lol. Still nice to see this!
This should be rebooted, and it could be aired either on NBC or ABC. Similar format, but for every point value would be worth cash winnings.
We need a good host, though....
Was this a young Steven Wright, the comedy legend? He was an aspiring actor, which doesn’t seem out of place.
3:15 The color frame around the one line is from a color-bars generator.
Yet again you never fail to disappoint, Wink. I'm definitely getting that word search book one day.
11:34 - and a happy 90th birthday to Donald!
Missed ya at QSE
I believe that the theme song was remade on another show, but I can't remember which one..
Wow, they did a pilot show on the rule changes
I was curious on a pilot of the narz version
There were a few test pilots for the format change, as well as one recorded in October 1973, before CBS picked up the show. I have no idea if the 1973 pilot exists or not. It was seen in a CBS Daytime promo that can be found here. It had six contestants instead of five, and no neon lights on the contestants' desks.
I wish the 1974-75 version would have lasted longer. I was only a newborn during that timeframe.
I certainly would have remembered it if it was a few years later.
Guess like only 2 contestants didn’t get the memo to wear red that day.
So this is really interesting. Only G-T would do a pilot for rules changes :) But why not do a test?
Likewise
Might be because I haven't seen the original in a while. What are the rules changes?
1) At the start of the championship round, each player wrote a bonus word. If a player correctly answers a question with the word they wrote down, they'd get the next question unopposed. (When they tried this rule on the show, the bonus was simply 10 points.)
2) Instead of playing to a time limit or a fixed number of questions, they played to 100 points, with point values doubling when someone hit 50.
The original format had two teams of two playing against each other. Twelve questions were asked (six to each member of a team), and the highest scoring team advanced to the second round, where they would play against each other.
Round two and three were played the same as round one and two seen in the pilot, except round three was again the highest scorer after 12 questions.
The format used in the pilot ended up being used for the second format, only round one was the first to five, and round two didn't have the bonus question.
It’s been awhile but I think it went something like this:
- The original first round was four players, teams of two and it was a time limit; at halfway the two players in the outside seats switched and the round continued.
- in that round the inside players had the buzzers and called out line numbers while the outside players called position numbers.
- The winning duo from that round then played each other, as in the first round in this video.
- Winner of that faced the champion in the final round as here (but I can’t remember what happens if the champion won the bonus round; see next).
- Winner of that round goes to the bonus round as here.
If the champion gets all ten right he/she wins the jackpot-but if that happens they are retired.
EDIT: Correcting myself:
-First and third rounds were 12 questions instead of times, and no double points at any point.
- The round with the two challengers needed 5 correct eventually instead of 4 originally.
- If the champion won the bonus round, the loser of the final match became champion-designate for the next game.
Not sure if this is what was meant by "rules changes", but the original format had two pairs face off, then the members of the winning pair faced off against each other, then the winner faced a defending champion, with that winner going to the word search round. This pilot may have been when they changed the format to just have solo players and set a goal of 100 points.
Sorry Winston, this is not a pilot. The show already was in progress and as you and anyone playing this video should know, a pilot is a sample of a show shown to the sponsor before airing in real life. What this is, is the first episode after the change in format in November from 5 players to 3. The elimination round that eliminated a team of 2 was removed. The game started with a qualifying round which was similar to the original semi finals between 2 new players (formerly the winners of the elimination game split up) one letter at a time. The winner played the champion in a game like the finals, except it was played to a set number of points: 100 rather than til the times up bell. To make the new championship game interesting, once a player reached 50 points, all remaining answers were double score. For example a word found in Line 1 position 9, would normally score 10, but after either player reached 50, a word in this same location would score 20. It appears also, this show included the 10 point bonus word, that players chose before the game started, if the word they chose was an answer and they got it right they received a 10 point bonus. If the player chose a bonus word, that their opponent got right, or nobody got right, it was taken out of play. This rule was added during the last few weeks of the elimination game and finals formats, but eventually it was done away with in the new format. This new format also allowed the show to straddle, meaning start a new show with the solo game, or in the middle of either the qualifying or championship games.
Hey, thanks for the comment. You DID see the slate where they call it Pilot #1, right? They did 3. All were called pilots. I of course know what a pilot is. Take your beef up with Goodson/Todman of 50 years ago!! :D
@@WinkMartindaleGames my apologies if I offended you. I do agree Goodson/Todman did muff there, not you.
Susan's the champ on what's apparently "Pilot 2 Rules Changes" that aired during the 1st Buzzr Lost N' Fun back in 2015. On that show, the bank starts at $15K, so that implies there were "two" episodes in between. But the continuity in her "winnings" is off (and she's wearing the exact same outfit).

This is Pilot #3 Taped 11-27-74
Sorry Wink, this is not a pilot. Now You See It first aired in April 1974. It's an episode from the actual show, it isn't a pilot. The rules of the episode look the same as the actual show. if Goodson/Todman had decided to tape a pilot with different rules it would have been taped in 1973. Now You See It had already been airing since April 1974. It's an episode from the actual show. Not a pilot episode.
Hey guys, not sure why this is such an issue. The SLATE from Goodson/Todman says PILOT #1. They did 3. All say PILOT! As Wink said, take it up with them 50 years ago. For whatever reason they decided to call these pilots! And also as Wink used to say, "CASE CLOSED!" :D
My apologies about the comment I made Wink. Goodson/Todman are the ones who taped this pilot and I apologize for taking it out on you.
