All-Star Blitz

All Star Blitz was a game show that aired on ABC from April 8, 1985 to December 20, 1985. The show was hosted by Peter Marshall, and John Harlan announced.

Main game
Four celebrities appeared on each episode, under a 3x2 grid of stars that formed six squares. Two contestants, one a returning champion, played at a time, trying to guess a phrase hidden on the board. (The audience saw the number of words in the phrase, but the players did not.) To do this, the players earned stars by correctly agreeing or disagreeing with celebrities' answers to questions. A right answer earned a star and kept control, but a wrong answer forfeited control (but the star remained on the board, unless it formed a square, in which case the opponent would have to play for that star). If a star completed a square and the contestant answered correctly, the letters in the square would be shown, and the contestant in control would get the opportunity to guess (at the cost of losing control if incorrect). The player who solved the puzzle won the game, and two games won the championship, a prize package, and the right to play the bonus round.

Bonus round
The champion then played the "Blitz Bonanza." A bonus phrase was hidden on the gameboard, and the champion had the opportunity to spin a six-spaced wheel four times in an attempt to reveal spaces. Every time the wheel stopped, the space that was lit would be revealed (if it had already been revealed, then the spin was wasted). After the four spins, the champion could trade in the prize package for one more spin. After this, the celebrities wrote down guesses to the puzzle, and the champion had to solve the puzzle for a growing jackpot that started at $10,000 and increased by $2,500 each time not won. If the champion could not solve the puzzle, he still received $250 for each celebrity with the correct solution.
