How About a Revival of bringing On The Spot Nationally on a Peacock Network as a Lead-In to Sale of the Century
Host: Larry Blackmar
Announcer: Erik Jensen (He did announced in the Statewide Broadcasts of Miss Texas USA when Dan O'Rourke hosted, why not do this game show when Larry Blackmar hosted in the Northwest?)
Studio: KGW Studios (in Portland, OR)
Network: NBC (including KGW the station that airs On The Spot from 1984-1988) before $ale of the Century
Theme Music: "Monkey Business" by C. Everett Palmer (Network Music Library) (Also The Theme to the Original Version of that Show when it aired on KGW)
Opening: Welcome to On The Spot, as today's 3 Contestants match wits to win cash and prizes, Meet (Insert Name) and (Occupation) from (Hometown), (repeat 2 more; including a champion if desired), They will be vieing for Thousands of Dollars in Cash and Prizes including (insert 2 prizes names) as they play the return of the Northwests Game Show now National: On The Spot and here's your host Larry Blackmar!
Three contestants, one usually a returning champion, competed. Each player was spotted $1,000 at the beginning of the game.
Category Board: At the beginning of the round, all three players were shown a category board consisting of six categories to be used for the entire game. Each category had three lighted triangles, each representing a different multiple-choice toss-up question to be asked. The players were given ten seconds to study and memorize the category board before it was turned away from view. The players had to keep track of the category names and the number of questions asked in each category in the round by memory.
Toss-Up Question: Round 1 began with a non-category question, a question whose category did not come from the category board. The players could buzz in to answer the question at any time with a maximum of five seconds after the question was asked. If a player buzzed in with a correct answer, $100 were added to their score and the player earned the right to choose one of the categories from the category board.
Category Questions: A question from the chosen category, worth $100, was then asked to all three players in the same manner. If the first player to buzz in gave an incorrect answer or failed to answer the question within five seconds, $100 was deducted from their score and the question was repeated for their two opponents.
Exhausted Category: If the second player to buzz in gave an incorrect answer or failed to answer within five seconds, $100 were deducted from their score, a new non-category toss-up question was asked (this also applied, minus the point deductions, if no contestant buzzed in with an answer).If at any time a player who answered a question correctly chose a category that had already been "exhausted" (all three questions from it were already asked), $100 were deducted from their score and a new non-category toss-up question was asked.
The round was played until either all categories were exhausted or until five minutes elapsed (signified by a ringing bell).
Round 2: Same as like Round 1, with the category board shown once again to the players. However, there were some changes.
Correct answers added $200, while incorrect answers deducted $200.
$200 were deducted for choosing an exhausted category.
Passing: Each player, after giving a correct answer, had the option of choosing a category or passing their turn to one of their opponents, forcing that player to choose a category. However, the players were limited to one pass per game.
A good strategy was for a contestant to pass their turn near the end of the round, when there were several exhausted categories.
Spotlight Question: One pre-designated question in the second round was a somewhat more difficult question that only the player that found it could answer. If a player chose a category and that next question was the Spotlight, they could wager up to their score on it. A correct answer added the wager to their score, while an incorrect answer deducted it.
The category and question position of the Spotlight was shown to the home audience during the category board reveal for Round 2.
Winning: The player with the highest score at the end of Round 2 won the game plus a prize, while their opponents received consolation gifts.
Flash Round: The day's champion played the "Flash Round" for up to $10,000 cash and one of two prizes
Wheels: The champion was shown a special wheel-within-a-wheel setup. The inner wheel contained two sets of dollar wedges (worth $250, $500, $750, and $1000) while the outer wheel contained two wedges each of the names of two grand prizes. The champion spun the wheels to determine the dollar amount of each question and which grand prize they would play for.
Questions: The champion then had 60 seconds to answer 10 questions. The clock started after the first question was completely asked, and each correct answer earned the amount of money the inner wheel landed on.
Contestants were not penalized for incorrect answers, which allowed them to give as many answers to each question as possible until the correct answer was given. They may also pass on questions, returning to them if time remains.
If all ten questions were answered correctly, the contestant won the grand prize the outer wheel landed on. All money earned was theirs to keep regardless of outcome.
Returning Champions: Play Until Defeated or win 10 Games.

How about this one?
MONOPOLY
Host: David Ruprecht (ABC) or Todd Newton (syndicated)
Announcer: Jim Thornton or Randy West
Network: ABC (Weekdays - 3 PM, paired with $1,000,000 Pyramid, replacing 'General Hospital') or syndicated via CBS Television Distribution
Taping Location: Sony Pictures Studios
Theme Music: Same as the original, composed by Mort Lindsay
Format: This will largely be based off the 1989 pilot hosted by Peter Tomarken. 3 players (Red, Gold and Blue) will play. All monopolies will be hidden and represented by a different category. General knowledge questions will be asked and the first to answer 2 correct wins control of that monopoly. Incorrect answers eliminate a player from that monopoly. Whoever wins a monopoly gets the combined value of the properties in that monopoly added to their bank. After all 8 monopolies are claimed, players can use the money in their bank to improve their properties with houses and hotels. $50 for a house, $250 for a hotel.
Round 2: Round 2 is the 'Make You or Break You Round'. All new categories are played in this round. All players travel around the board together and if a property was landed on, the host will read a question. If the player in control of that monopoly gets the question right, they get rent determined on the improvements they made during the break. All rent values are their official game values. If a player comes up with an incorrect answer to a question in their monopoly, opposing players can jump in, steal the rent and try for a Hostile Takeover. There are also special spaces on the board that have various outcomes:
Takeover - grants a player a chance at a Hostile Takeover if they give a right answer. They must then give right answers corresponding on the number of properties in the monopoly they want to take over. If they succeed, they take the monopoly and its value away from the former owner. If they fail, they must pay rent on the property they flamed out on.
Utilities - Questions worth $100 x the roll of the dice
Go To Jail - Sends the indicator to the In Jail space and costs all players $50 to continue
Chance/Community Chest - Cards are drawn and affect the players in the same way as the board game. All cards from the board game are included as well as some that are exclusive to the show. Each player also owns a Community Chest.
Taxes - Luxury Tax costs the players $75 each, while Income Tax costs the players $200 each
GO - Passing Go gives players $200 each, landing on Go gives players $400 each
Free Parking - Starts at $500 and increases with each tax and fine. The player who answers a question correctly while the indicator was on Free Parking wins the Free Parking jackpot
At halftime of the round, players can once again use their bank to further improve their properties with houses and hotels at $50 per house, $250 per hotel. At the end of the round, every improvement is turned in to the bank and added to the player's score. Player with the highest net worth in their bank wins and advances to the Once Around The Block bonus game.
Once Around The Block bonus game: During the break, the champion places 4 additional 'Go To Jail' spaces on the board - 1 on the 2nd row, 1 on the 3rd row and 2 on the last row with the corner 'Go To Jail' space still active. The champion gets 5 rolls of the dice to go around the board. Every time they roll doubles, they get an extra roll but if they roll 3 doubles in succession, it's an automatic GO TO JAIL. If they make it all the way around the board and pass GO without landing on a GO TO JAIL, they win $50,000. If they land on GO by exact count, they win $100,000. Should they decide to quit, they'll get $500 for each space they crossed. If they land on GO TO JAIL, they lose everything they've won in the bonus game.
Returning Champions: You play until you lose.
Verdict on this one?

I got two for you!
First up:
THE WEAKEST LINK
Host: John McEnroe (Primetime, either NBC or ABC) (Not sure if NBC still holds the US rights to the show) or Kathy Griffin (syndicated)
Announcer: John Cramer
Network: NBC (if they still have rights to the show; it would air Sunday Nights @ 7 PM during the summer and Thursday nights @ 8 PM during the fall season. If NBC doesn't have rights anymore, then 'Link' goes to ABC, where it would air Tuesday nights @ 8 PM and Wednesday nights @ 9 PM during the summer) or syndicated NBCUniversal or Disney-ABC Domestic Television
Taping Location: Hollywood Center Studios
Opening: Here are the 8 (John McEnroe version)/6 (Kathy Griffin version) contestants who will take part in tonight's game. One will walk away with up to $1,000,000 (McEnroe)/$100,000 (Griffin). The rest will leave with nothing as round by round, they are voted off as.....THE WEAKEST LINK.
Format: The game is played with 8 players (6 in syndication), each trying to win up to $1,000,000 ($100,000 in syndication). In each round, the aim is to answer enough questions correctly to reach the target within the time limit. The fastest way to reach the target is to create a chain of correct answers equal to the number of players that start the game. Get your question wrong and you break the chain and lose all the money in that chain. Say the word BANK before your question is asked and the money is safe, but you'll have to start a new chain. At the end of each round, only money that has been banked will be carried over to the next round. The first round lasts for 2:30 (2:00 in syndication), with 10 seconds (15 seconds in syndication) coming off the clock in each subsequent round. Play always begins with the player in the first position in round 1 and with last round's Strongest Link in each subsequent round (or with the 2nd Strongest Link if the Strongest Link is voted off).
The Money Tree:
Primetime:
$125,000
$75,000
$50,000
$25,000
$10,000
$5,000
$2,500
$1,000
Syndication:
$12,500
$7,500
$5,000
$1,000
$500
$250
Voting: After each round, the team will be asked to vote for who they think is THE WEAKEST LINK. Whoever gets the most votes is eliminated and takes the WALK OF SHAME.
Final Round: After a final quiz round, whatever money that's been banked in that round will be doubled (quadrupled in syndication) and added to the bank from previous rounds to make up the final bank for the Sudden Death Shootout. In the Sudden Death Shootout, the host will ask alternating questions, best of 5 (best of 3 in syndication). Whoever has the most correct answers wins. If there's a tie, another Sudden Death playoff will be played with the first player to top their opponent winning the bank.
Now for the richest, most dangerous game show on television....
GREED
Host: Chris Jericho
Announcer: Mark Thompson
Network: FOX (Thursdays - 8 PM and Fridays - 9 PM)
Taping Location: Hollywood Center Studios
Music: Same as the original, composed by Edgar Struble
Opening: From Los Angeles, it's the biggest game show in television history, where one person, in one night, could walk away with over $2,000,000. Ladies and gentlemen....welcome....to GREED! And now....CHRIS JERICHO!
Format: Each game begins with a qualifying question. 6 players compete for 5 spots on the team. A question is asked and the person with the answer closest to the actual answer, high or low, is the captain. The other positions are filled accordingly by answer, with answering time used to break ties. The remaining contestant after all positions have been filled goes back to the contestant pool. Now, every contestant on GREED has a common foe. That foe is the TOWER OF GREED. Here's how the money grows:
$2,000,000
$1,000,000
$500,000
$200,000
$100,000
$75,000
$50,000
$25,000
If you counted correctly, it takes 8 questions to take home the big prize. The captain has the power to determine how far they take the team up the Tower of Greed, bearing in mind that any incorrect answer along the way forfeits any money the team has won up to that point. They can also accept or reject any answer given by their teammates and replace it with one of their own. Before the $200,000 question, a category is read and the team will have to make their decision based on that category. Then, the Terminator activates. The Terminator allows 1 player to challenge another player to try to take their winnings and knock them out of the game by winning a 1 question showdown, or they can keep the team the way it is. To sweeten the pot, the challenging player is now given $50,000, win or lose. The first player to come up with a right answer in the showdown wins the game and takes their opponent's money and place in the game. The loser is out of the game. From question 5 on, there will be 4 right answers instead of 1 and the captain will have to rely on their teammates to give the correct answers. The team will also get a FREEBIE, which they can use through to the $2,000,000 question to eliminate a wrong answer.
Bail Outs: From question 5 onward, the host will offer a bribe equal to one-tenth of the question value (with a car added on for questions 7 and 8) for the team to bail out if they are unsure that their final answer is correct. This will only occur if their first 3 answers are correct.
$2,000,000 question: Players/Teams are now given unlimited time to think of and come up with their answers. If they still have their FREEBIE, it may be used here. If they get all 4 correct answers, they win $2,000,000 (or a share of it in the case of teams) in addition to whatever money they won in the Terminator showdowns.
Verdict?

Another game show revival for you:
BLOCKBUSTERS
Network NBC or ABC
Host: Mike Emrick (NBC) or Tom Bergeron (ABC)
Announcer: Veronica Taylor (using her Ash Ketchum voice)
Theme Music: 'Quiz Wizard' by Ed Welch
Taping Location: Hollywood Center Studios
Format: Same as the Bill Cullen version. A solo player is pitted against a family pair to see if two heads are really better than one. A question is asked with a letter-specific answer. First player with a correct answer gets the block for themselves/their team. They then can go wherever they want on the 20 hexagon board. If no one guesses the right answer, another question will be asked. The family pair can connect from side to side in as few as five moves, while the solo player can connect in as few as four moves. If a player/team guesses wrong, their opponent gets a chance to steal. First to make a connection wins the game. First to win 2 games wins the match and goes to the Gold Run.
Gold Run: Answers are now represented by one or multiple letters. What the champion/champions must do is make a path connecting from gold to gold, which can be done in as few as five moves. If they can do that in 60 seconds or less, they win the jackpot which starts at $50,000 and increases by $5,000 until it is claimed. If they miss or pass, a block goes up and they'll have to work around that block.
Returning Champions: Play until you lose.
Tournament of Champions: Honestly, I'm not sure if a ToC would work with this show.
Verdict on 'Blockbusters'?

I've got another one for you! How about......
SCRAMBLE!
Host: Randall Cunningham (if not, Michael Strahan)
Announcer: Al Michaels
Referee: Chris Jericho or Sophie Reynolds ('Gamer's Guide to Pretty Much Everything')
Network: Disney Channel, Disney XD, ESPN or syndicated via Disney-ABC Domestic Television
Taping Location: Times Square Studios, New York
Opening Spiel:
Audience: Scramble
Al Michaels: It's Time For Scramble, The Return of America's Football-Themed Game Show, Today's (or Tonight's) Matchup (insert NFL Team) versus (insert NFL Team) and now here's your host for the All-New Scramble, former Philadelphia Eagle Quarterback Randall "The Scrambler" Cunningham!
(or 'Former New York Giants Defensive End MICHAEL STRAHAN!')
Two teams of 3 kids ages 8-17 representing their favorite NFL Team and their reserves (which consists of members of the Studio Audience and 3 members of their chosen team) compete in Football-themed game of Knowledge and Stunts for a chance to win money for themselves and their rooting section
First 3 Quarters - A Tossup Question is played to determine which team gets the ball. The first person to buzz-in with the correct answer will get the right to answer a Kickoff Question which will start that team at the 30 yard line. Every answer they get it right is worth 5 yards until a wrong answer or time ran out. After that, the team who answered the kickoff question gets control and they have up to four downs (chances) to reach their goal. They do that by answering questions correctly in 3 plays (or categories)
Plays:
Run (True or False Questions) - 1-10 Yards, depending on difficulty
Pass (Multiple Choice) - 11-20 Yards, depending on difficulty
Trick (Open-Ended) - 30+ Yards, depending on difficulty
If they answer a Run or Pass question incorrectly, they lose 1/2 the yardage, but if they miss a Trick Play question (on the first 3 downs) it will be an Interception (15+ Yards) or a Fumble (15 Yards or Less) and control will pass to the opponents. If a team gets 10 yards during the first 3 downs, they'll get a fresh set of downs.
If a team reaches 4th down, but they don't want to risk it, they can go for a Field Goal by answering a open-ended general question.
Once a team used up all their downs or missed a Field Goal or a Trick Question or got a Fumble/Intercepted (First 3 Downs on a Trick Question) their turns ends and control went over to the over team
.
Each time a team reaches their goal, they score points. A Field Goal is worth three points, and a Touchdown is worth six points just like in real football. Now, a team that scored a touchdown also won the right to try for an "Extra Point" by playing an additional true/false question. After that, the other team will start the Kickoff Question.
Fourth Quarter - The Fourth Quarter it will be played like the first 3 quarters, except in the final 2 Minutes. In Two-Minute Warning Scramble, the team who is in control before the two-minute warning goes first and has to choose a run or pass play with flag football rules applying, The team with the most points and the end of the game won the game and advanced to the bonus round as well as $500 a point for their rooting section. Runners up gets $250 a point for their rooting section.
Final Scramble: The Final Scramble is an NFL Combine style obstacle course. The 3 members of the team, plus their reserves (which is 3 members of their chosen NFL team), must clear the 6 obstacle course in 45 seconds. Obstacles are cleared by grabbing a gold football. For each obstacle cleared, the team wins a prize. If the team clears all 6 obstacles in 45 seconds, they win the grand prize, plus whatever prizes they won before in addition to $500 a point for winning the main game. If not, they still get whatever prizes they won in the course plus the money they won for winning the main game.
Special Teams: In Addition to the 32 NFL Teams Competing, There will be a few Special Teams which will consist of Cast Members from the Shows that are currently airing on ABC, Disney Channel and Disney XD including Modern Family, The Middle, Star vs. The Forces of Evil & Best Friends Whenever
SPECIAL WEEKS
College Week - Every 2 Months, Current and Alumni College Football Players along with Cheerleaders and Students compete for half of the money for their rooting section (with the other half to the school's scholarship money)
High School Week - Held Once every month, Current High School Football Players and Non-Football Players play
(Same as College Week)
Scramble's Salute to Old School - All Old School NFL Players will play but they will be consisting on one team representing a Given Year like the 1972 Dolphins, 1984 49ers and so on.
Country Music Week - Will be held at the Grand Ole Opry in Nashville, TN as Country Music Stars compete for their Rooting Section however their team names will be determined by the producer
And so on.....
Closing Spiel:
Randall Cunningham (or Michael Strahan): "Remember to keep your feet on the ground and your dreams alive! We'll see you tomorrow (or Monday (During the NFL Offseason) or Next Week (During the NFL Season) on SCRAMBLE! Bye-Bye!"
Al Michaels (or sub-announcer): "Attention Football Fans Tune in Tomorrow (or Monday (During the NFL Offseason) or Next Week (During the NFL Season) as (Insert Visiting Team Name) takes on (Insert Home Team Name) will clash on The Studio Gridiron, Seats Have Been Reserved in the Cheering Section, All Requests for tickets must be made by next Monday by sending it in to..."
Followed by the Ticket Plug for the upcoming show, ending with "This is Al Michaels (or sub-announcer) Speaking for Scramble a Let's Scramble Production in association with ESPN, The Worldwide Leader in Sports!"
What do you think, everyone?

DEAL OR NO DEAL
Channel: GSN
Host: Ben Gleib
The show will have a similar set-up to the syndicated version, with the potential contestants holding the cases and only two models. Before the game begins, the 26 potential contestants compete in a 3 question multiple choice fastest finger quiz like the Australian version did. The winner will be day's player. As the week goes on, those who have played will stay in the contestant gallery for encouragement and advice giving, but they will not participate in the fastest finger quiz. There will be a new player gallery eaxh week, but the leftovers from each week do go back into the contestant pool.
The day's player starts the game by eother keep in the case they were originally assigned or switch for another case. They then face this board:
$0.01
$1
$5
$10
$25
$50
$75
$100
$200
$300
$400
$500
$750
$1,000
$2,500
$5,000
$7,500
$10,000
$20,000
$30,000
$50,000
$75,000
$100,000
$200,000
$300,000
$500,000
6 cases will be opened in the first round, followed by 5, 4, 3, 2 and then 1 at a time like the prime-time version.
The Banker will make an offer at the end of every round fpr the contestant to sell their case and leave the game. Like the Banker on the syndicated version, he will heavily base his offers on both the player and the board, and will often make poor offers on big money boards to entice them to go on.
Just like the original version, the contestant must press a button to signify that they want to Deal. Once a player Deals, they continue opening cases to see how the game would've unfolded. The Banker will NOT make inflated prove-out offers once the player has dealt like he did on the syndicated version.
Should a player decline every offer, they win whatever amount is inside their case. In the unlikely event someone wins $200k, $300k or $500,000 from their case, confetti will fall all over the studio.
HOWEVER, the game will not be over once the contestant's case is opened. There will be a Case 27 that the player can purchase with their winnings. It will randomly have one of these 5 options:
DOUBLE
ADD HALF
+$20,000
HALF
NOTHING
(fyi, ADD HALF increases the player's winnings by 50%. I choose this option over Money Back so players will be more tempted to risk significant amounts on Case 27)
To purchase Case 27, the contestant must press the Deal button one last time. Regardless of whether a contestant purchases it, it will then be opened.
With this set-up, the show can have a $1,000,000 top prize without giving anywhere near that in most games.

How about a game show that got a raw deal 2 and a half years ago on NBC? I'm talking about.....
THE MILLION SECOND QUIZ
Hosts: Ryan Seacrest (NBC), Rick Allen (NBC Sports Network), Marcus Lemonis (CNBC, Esquire), Willie Geist (MSNBC, Golf Channel, Oxygen), Joe Rogan (Chiller, Cloo), John Henson (E!)
Taping Location: An hourglass shaped structure in Rockefeller Center
Network: The Networks of NBCUniversal (NBC, NBC Sports Network, Esquire, Oxygen, MSNBC, E!, SyFy, Chiller, Cloo, Golf Channel, CNBC) and streamed online at NBC.com
Timeslot: 8 PM Eastern Sunday-Saturday (NBC), 7 PM Eastern Sunday-Saturday (NBC Sports Network), 9 PM Eastern Sunday-Saturday (CNBC, Esquire) Noon Eastern Sunday-Saturday (MSNBC, Golf Channel, Oxygen), 10 PM Eastern Sunday-Saturday (Chiller, Cloo), 11 PM Eastern Sunday-Saturday (E!) (It will be a mid-summer show)
Format: Since the format of the original was too confusing once we hit the primetime show, I think I'll make the primetime show's format full time for this one. The game will take place inside an hourglass-shaped structure near NBC's headquarters in Rockefeller Center. It'll be 24 hours a day for 1,000,000 seconds. Players will earn $10 a second as long as they sit in the Money Chair. That's $36,000 a second and $864,000 a day. To keep the chair, you must beat opponents one by one in head to head quiz bouts. Lose a bout, lose the Chair. Bouts that are not televised will be 500 seconds long with questions increasing in value by 1 point at each 100 second interval. Each televised show will have 3 bouts - 1 with a challenger who has waited in line, 1 with a Line Jumper (someone who has played the MSQ app and scored high enough to qualify to be a Line Jumper) and a Winner's Defense bout against one of the top 4 players from Winner's Row in a winner take all bout. The challenger bout is 300 seconds, Line Jumper bout is 400 seconds and Winner's Defense is 500 seconds. Each player has a Doubler, which they can use as often as they like. If you don't know an answer, you can use the Doubler to force your opponent to either answer the question for double points or Double Back to you. Answer right, get the points. Answer wrong and your opponent gets the points. The player with the most points at the end of each bout gets the Money Chair.
At the end of the million seconds, the top 4 players in Winner's Row will cash in their winnings and compete against each other in single elimination tournament. 1 seed takes on the 4 seed, #2 seed takes on the 3 seed. The winners of those bouts will face each other in one final 500 second quiz bout. The winner of that bout wins an additional $3,000,000 and takes home the largest prize in game show history.

I've got another one!
CLOSE CALLS!
NARROW ESCAPES!
SPLIT SECOND DECISIONS!
And $100,000 in cash! A combination guaranteed to make you say.....
WHEW!
Host: Tom Bergeron
Announcer: Rich Fields
Network: ABC (replacing FABLife on most ABC O&Os at 2 PM, pairing with Card Sharks and following Blockbusters)
Taping Location: Hollywood Center Studios
Music: Same as the original
Format: Same as the original, still played by 2 players - one of whom is the Charger and the other is the Blocker. It's a best 2 out of 3 match. The goal for the Charger is to get to the top of the board by correcting bloopers in 60 seconds to win the game. However, the Blocker will place 8 blocks on the board (no more than 4 on any of the first 5 levels (which range from $100-$500 in value) and only 1 on level 6 (values $2000, $3500 and $5000)) and every single time the Charger hits one of those blocks, they'll lose 5 seconds. Get to the top, you win the round. If not, the opponent wins the round. Charger and Blocker switch roles in Rounds 2 and 3 (if necessary). First to win 2 rounds wins the match, all the money they've won in the front game and the chance at $100,000 in the Gauntlet of Villains.
Gauntlet of Villains: The player now has 60 seconds to correct a series of bloopers and get through a row of 10 villains to win $100,000. 60 seconds is the base time, but the champion gets 1 second for every $1,000 they won in the main round. If you get to the end of the Gauntlet, you'll win $100,000. If not, you'll get $500 for each villain you got through.
Returning Champions: Play until you lose.
Verdict?

WINNING LINES
Host: Renee Young
Announcer: Alan Dedicoat
Network: GSN
Origination: CBS Television City, Studio 33
Qualifying Round: 49 contestants start the game. A question with a numerical answer is asked. The first player to answer correctly qualifies for the next round. Six players will move on to the next round; the 43 remaining players each receive $500 in cash. The last numbers of the answers will be very important later.
Looking Out For Number One: A numerical question is asked, and the first player to buzz in and answer correctly stays in the game (if it is his/her own number) or knocks out one of his/her opponents (if the answer belongs to that player). However, if he/she is wrong, he/she is out of the game. The last one standing receives $2,000 and goes to the Wonderwall; the remaining five each get $1,000.
Wonderwall: The player now faces the ubiquitous Wonderwall-a bank of three screens with 49 answers. The object of the game is to answer 20 questions correctly within the three minute time period. The player must also give the number and answer to recieve credit. Correct answers earn more money:
20. $500,000
19. $375,000
18. $250,000
17. $125,000
16. $100,000
15. $75,000
14. $50,000
13. $37,500
12. $25,000
11. $12,500
10. $10,000
9. $8,000
8. $7,500
7. $5,000
6. $3,750
5. $2,500
4. $2,000
3. $1,500
2. $500
1. $100
A wrong answer gives the player a strike. If the player has two strikes or 15 seconds remain, a "bailout button" beside his/her chair will glow and he/she may press it to end the game and leave with any money won; failure to do so means the player leaves with nothing. The player also has two passes and two "pit stops" (15-second breaks) if he/she is not sure.
The second numbers of the six answers in the Qualifying Round plus the second number of the last Wonderwall answer will make up a seven-digit code viewers can text to GSNTV (47688) in order to eligible for a weekly drawing for $50,000.

Chuck Riley died in 2007, maybe you can get a new announcer for Winning Lines like Bill Ratner.
