Trivia[]

  • The theme song was later reused as a cue on The Price is Right.
  • Theme song (at least for pilot episode) - "Play School" by Syd Dale (KPM Library)
  • This pilot was one of the many game shows featured on the CBS special 50 Years from Television City. Strangely, the official Television City website has no listing for this show.
  • The show's mention in Broadcasting magazine (July 12, 1971, Page 46) lists the celebrities that appear in the aforementioned footage as being "on the initial episode". While the article claims the show was going into production, there's really no indication it ever got off the ground.
