Family Channel, Daily: June 7 - September 3, 1993 [December 30, 1994/July 21, 1995] (65 episodes)

The 1993 Trivial Pursuit was easily the best of The Family Channel's interactive games, although it really only produced 13 weeks of material. The Interactive Game's 900-number segments remained new until the end of 1994.

The show was hosted by Wink Martindale with Randy West as announcer, both of whom turn in the expected high-quality performances.

American Version (1993)
Each episode consisted of two half-hour portions: the first half was the Interactive Qualifying Game, with the three winners playing the Classic Game. Originally, the Qualifying Game used 12 contestants, which was later dropped to nine.

Later in the show's brief run, the game began using number graphics to show how many wedges each player still had to get.
