Paula Rhodes: Not quite live from Periscope Plaza where all hearts tapped are half-off,  it's @ The Buzzr. Now here he is, the master of everything buzz, and the master of throwed rolls at Lambert's in Missouri, Pierre.......KELLY!

Me: Welcome to @ The Buzzr, where we slow jam traffic & weather every 10 minutes.....or 30 minutes....okay, an hour......okay, let's move on. Today.....


Rolling Along.


Mark Goodson seemed to run out of ideas. Trivia Trap was the last true orginal to hit the airwaves. So he needed something to make it work. The year was 1986. Card Sharks with Bob Eubanks was on the air. The company needed something to add in at daytime. The show....





And when I return....how the game works.

The Buzzr beater question wants to know what was your favorite part of the Star Words Pilot? Since nobody answered, I was thinking Nipsey. Maybe a new Buzzr Beater question in a new way can help. More on that later, but first, On a Roll.


(song stops)


It all starts with a pair...

Uh...not this pair....

Not this pair either.....

That's the pair. Linda & Lisa, the Doublemint Twins.  This was supposed to be David Sparks' first time as host and the game begins by playing The Name Game.

This will be Ripoff #1: taking something from Scrabble's Speedword and The $1,000,000 Chance of a Lifetime. The name begins backwards starting with the last letter. Whoever buzzes in first....gets control of the dice which you may use....

On this board right here. Ripoff #2: Take a well-known syndicated smash and make it your own. Mark took the popular megahit Wheel Of Fortune and turned it into.....this.

The game arena gives us Ripoff #3: Taking Heatter-Quigley's piece and making it your piece. Look what High Rollers did. Roll doubles and you get insurance for bad numbers. But on this show, if you roll doubles....it costs your turn. Plus, what makes it pointless is if you roll a 12.....same thing. 2 games wins the match and $1000. Plus, all wins had to be showered by the last few seconds of the showcase showdown cue from the pre-Carey TPIR era. That's because this program was where TPIR was (and still is) taped. 

Now you must play Lucky 7. Yes, Mark Goodson took a popular TPIR car game and made it a bonus round. It's for $1,000 times what ever your roll. Say you get an 8, it's $8,000 and the same for every number 2-12. In it, you have 60 seconds to say the words that fit the subject. Get all 7 and you get whatever money you rolled before the round began. And that kids, is on a roll. 

Now I have a Buzzr beater question.....but in a new way. It'll be on the Facebook page and on my twitter feed. You'll answer it in a 2-week time limit. Just wait for it.

Paula Rhodes:  About to create a bi-weekly event from Periscope Plaza where I got my degree in Jaxsology......seriously...... it's @ The Buzzr. Now here he is, the master of everything buzz, the guy who sleeps with glow in the dark stars on his celing, Pierre.......KELLY!

Me: Welcome to @ The Buzzr, where we give credit where credit is graded by 4th grade teachers. Today.....


Stars & Words.


It seems that Cards Without Humanity and Apples to Apples have the right to judge. By 1983, Steve Ryan wanted to inspire them both. Star Words was the show.





This was to have a spot on the CBS schedule, but when I return, we'll tell you how it goes.

Here's the Buzzr Beater query, Do you think Play For Keeps would've ruined the reputation of Goodson-Todman? I would've said no, because it would ruin it a bit, but G-T is a legendary company. On to more of Star words and the Buzzr Beater question afterwards.

(song stops)

Object of the game is to match the words given by the stars, but the contestants on the monitor have to pick 2 words and then head off into isolation via "turn the screen off." The star then must think of an answer for the contestant to match for money. A wrong guess and you lose control. This pilot happened in most cases.....and when I say most cases, I mean it. If both teams miss, it'll be a "Final Shot" for double the money. This continues until round 3, the catch-up round in which the trailing team have one last attempt to get into the lead. The team with the most money wins it all. April triumphed over Jeff in the pilot you just saw by the final score of....150-50. Yes, 150-50. And on top of all that, Nipsey Russell's first attempt at being a game show host.


The winning team got to play "Super Star Words" in which 2 of 10 words must match to what the host read, but in reverse. The team had 60 seconds to get all 10 for $5000 for $100 for each correct connection.


I guess Star Words would've been a perfect fit for the schedule, but apparently, CBS wanted to go with this instead.....






And that kids, is Star Words.


So, our Buzzr Beater question is....what part of the Star Words pilot did you like? Only 2 weeks is your limit.
