- Two teams of three players each stated themselves a sweet name in regards of a television show, past or present (e.g., "The Jeffersons," which spun-off "All In The Family"). In each round, each contestant (on a team) would answer a jump-in question. The contestant who gets the question right will win 25 points, and were given an opportunity to earn more points by answering 3 follow-up question about that very first one being answered. Host Summers would have each member of the team to only answer 1 question, and if the contestant gets it right, the teams still has control, an incorrect answer meant control goes over to their opposing team. Midway throughout the round, a popular TV show would come up on the monitor that a contestant had answered, a celebrity from that same TV series (e.g., Barbara Billingsley, of Leave it To Beaver, Gordon Jump, of WKRP in Cincinnati, Herve Villechaize, of Fantasy Island, Dick Sargent, of Bewitched, Jon Provost, of Lassie, Nicole Eggert, of Charles in Charge, Janice Pennington, of The Price is Right, Gary Coleman, of Diff'rent Strokes, Emmanuel Lewis, of Webster, etc.) would ask a question about what they did (or is doing) on the show alone. After all four (this was later changed to five) rounds of questions, especially the Visual Round, added later, each team was given a chance to catch up by answering more questions that a random amount of money was won (using the randomizer) for each question answered correctly. If a team landed on "Couch-Up," (and if they're behind) must answer this question correctly to tie the teams' score. The team with the most point when the round was over wins $1000 and goes on to the Channel Roulette bonus game, while the other team gets "Cancelled" for not getting enough points onto their score. In the Channel Roulette bonus game, 1 member of each team would pick a VHF channel on TV, from 2-13 (meaning 12 monitors). At that point, the team had to identify what show (e.g., Dallas, Knots Landing, TV 101, F Troop, etc.) was in the picture. Each channel ranged in point values and they were each given 30 seconds to reach 1000 points or more to win $5000, within the time limit given. 3 players on 1 team alternated turns by selecting a channel to describe the television series. If they were right about that series, then the contestant will win whatever points was awarded, if the contestant gets it wrong or pass, and another monitor will be selected with different point values. If a contestant finds "PAY TV," then the team will lose all of their points that they have won up until then, and had to be tried again. If they didn't reach 1000 points, then its $1 for every point they obtained.
- For years, one of America's favorite board games was Scrabble, the Selchow & Righter-marketed game introduced in the 1930s. The game was revised and brought to television in 1984 by Reg Grundy Productions. Two contestants competed in the "crossword" round, played on a giant Scrabble board. Host Woolery announces a letter to build on, announces the number of letters in the word and reads a clue to said word (e.g., a seven letter word; "Experts really know how to pick them"; answer: "pockets"). The contestant chosen to go first draws two numbered tiles from the rack; the rack (positioned between the contestants) contained all the letters in the word, plus three "stoppers," or letters not in the puzzle. The contestant indicates which letter he wants to place in the word; if the letter fits, he/she may either attempt to guess the word or place another letter in the puzzle (the contestant draws two more tiles if he/she still doesn't attempt a guess). If the letter tried is a "stopper" or the contestant gives an incorrect solution, control passes to the opponent; letters landing on blue or pink squares were worth cash bonuses if they correctly guessed the word (#500 and #1,000 respectively, which the players kept regardless if they won the game). Play on the current word continues until all three "stoppers" are found (at which time a "speedword" format was used) or until one letter remained in the puzzle. The contestant who guesses the word correctly wins one point; all subsequent words were built on a letter in the previous word. The first player to win three points won the game, #500 and played the Sprint Round. In the Sprint Round, the contestant played vs. the returning champion to guess a given number of words in a shorter time period than the opponent. Either way, the "speedword" format was used, with Woolery giving the number of letters in the word and a clue. The contestant was shown two letters at a time; there were no "stoppers" in the Sprint Round, though a 10-second penalty was assessed for incorrect guesses. The winner of the Sprint Round received a cash bonus (usually #1,000), returns as champion and played the Bonus Sprint against the clock. In the Bonus Sprint, the contestant had to guess two words, again under the "speedword" format, within 10 seconds to win #5,000 (plus #1,000 for each day it was not won); an incorrect guess at any point stopped the game. Champions continued until their defeat or until winning 10 Sprint Rounds. The rules o both the crossword and Sprint rounds changed several times during the show's run, most commonly relating to bonuses and the Sprint Round formats and how returning champions were determined; the above plot summary indicates the most enduring format.
