Sale of the Century

The was a nice quiz show, although the questions were generally so simply--I'm sure intentionally--that most viewers would know most of the answers. Unlike on Jeopardy, contestants could buzz in early, which sometimes caused problems if a contestant thought they knew where the question was going, but had the wrong idea. So buzzer reflexes were really key here.

The big thing on this show was the gamble the winner took. They could either buy an expensive prize with their money and be done, or come back to earn more money for a better prize. But if they did win the next game, all they got was the paltry sum they earned with questions ... usually just under or over $100, instead of buying a prize worth thousands.

There were a couple of notable long runs on the show, and a cash bonus prize while increased on each show it wasn't purchased. That bonus got quite high a few times.

Of all the game shows I've seen in my life, this one was always one of my favorites. I used to watch it on TV a lot when I was around 6 or 7 years old and then came the reruns on USA when I was 13. I think my favorite part of the show was the speed round. I really wish this show would come back on in America, and if it did, I think Louie Anderson or "Mad TV" alum Phil LaMarr would be a good host.

I used to watch this show when I was a little girl. First off, I must say that it was a fun game show. Also, I don't think I've seen every episode. However, if you ask me, it was still a good show. I remember the show very vaguely. In addition, it was fun to play along and watch. I hope some network brings it back so I can play along and watch again. If that happens, I will be really happy. Before I wrap this up, I'd like to say that I'll always remember this show in my memory forever, even though I haven't seen every episode. Now, in conclusion, if some network ever brings it back, I hope that you catch it one day before it goes off the air for good.
