Blockbusters

From a past comment, it said the writer didn't know if Blockbusters made it to the United States. It actually did, in fact this version was first in line. The American version was hosted by Bill Cullen from 1980-1982, the UK version came afterwards in 1983. There was another US version, this time hosted by Bill Rafferty, but it didn't long as long as the previous US version. In fact, neither version is longer than the UK version, which is why the that title of this comment is UK older than US.

Hopefully some day there will be a new US version of Blockbusters, hopefully as good as the previous US versions of Blockbusters and the current UK version of Blockbusters.
