"HURRY...HURRY...HURRY!!! Ladies and gentlemen, step right up! It's time for ABC's Carnival '74! HURRY...HURRY, HURRY!!! The show is just about to start, with all the excitement and all the thrills of a midway. And now, it's time to meet our master of the midway, TOM KELLY!"
ABC Carnival '74 was an unsold game show with a carnival setting.
Gameplay[]
The first game that the couple had to do was guess how many tattoos were on a woman's body. The winner won a dishwasher, while the loser received a kewpie doll. However, the winning couple had a chance to trade the dishwasher for a pool table. Then, Gilbert picked someone from the audience to play the strength machine and other games. Ruth Buzzi made a guest appearance as a weight guesser.
Finally, the couples played a sweepstakes race. Whoever came in first won a new car. Second place won a home entertainment center and third won kitchenware. Luggage was also included with the car for the first prize winners.
