Showoffs (1975)

Trivia

Showoffs

Edit
Only two episodes survive of this series, the rest are lost.
Although it was one of the last new ABC daytime game shows ran under Martin Starger's tenure with the expectation of doing it well, then-new ABC CEO and president Fred Silverman abruptly cancelled the show and replaced it in the timeslot with the more successful and longer-established Let's Make a Deal (1963), which had been cancelled several months later.
Larry Blyden hosted the pilot of this show, but died before the show became a series
The sound effects used on this show would later be reused on Family Feud (1976). The bell clang which sounded whenever a teammate guessed the word correctly became the clang for revealing answers on Family Feud. The dings for winning a game also was later heard on Family Feud for a #1 answer in the Face-Off, a family winning the game, and answering the Fast Money round questions in the regulated amount of time. The time's-up buzzer was later used on Family Feud as the strike buzzer. When a player lost the bonus round, the "Losing Horns" fanfare from The Price is Right (1972) was played.
