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.
