The beautiful thing about the "game show" side of YT huh? Like I just typed in a prior comment I THINK I remember this show on WOR but not certain. I know there is/was another version on BET but I wonder if this version ever aired on CBN/Family Channel...can't place it but I remember seeing it somewhere before YT I just can't remember the channel

@@Amisbro new episodes aired everyday on BET from 1991-92 hosted by Spencer Christian from Good Morning America. They were playing for points winning prizes.
From the people that brought you the world's greatest talent competition!
I did some research and there was an earthquake that hit Pasadena, California on December 3, 1988 so I believe this episode aired around that time.
Here in NY, it originally aired Sundays at 10:30 PM on WPIX, but around midseason it moved to WWOR, which also aired it Sundays, but at 11:30 AM.

Thanks for the info. “Triple Threat” was on Sunday nights at 10:30PM on WPIX-TV (channel 11) and later moved to WWOR-TV (channel 9) at 11:30AM. No wonder this show lasted for just one season.
I used 2 love this game show
thanks Keith!
Pretty good game show. It's gone but Wheel of Fortune is still going strong? YIKES!!!!!
What in blue blazes is Jim Lange saying at 23:48?
Jim Lange's finest hour outside of The Dating Game. Since he was a radio personality before he went on to greater fame as a game show host, his music background to that end made him an ideal host. If not for the facts that a) it only aired weekly and b) straight quizzes, entertainment background or not, were on their way out save for J! for 1988, this could have lasted a lot longer than it did. I love the concept of the Three for All round which meant no match was over until it was over, exactly what a straight quiz should be. About 10 years later this was revived for a season or so on BET, with Spencer Christian as host. Not many people talk about that version, but I watched the holy heck out of it (it didn't hurt that the Christian era aired on weeknights and had a killer theme) and IMO it was a worthy revival.
I would've gotten all the Wizard Of Oz questions correct.
Johnny Gilbert was the announcer for the pilot, but because Gilbert is doing Love Connection for the 1988-89 season, Sam Riddle took the announcer's position instead of Gilbert.
The cat in the Amore commercial looks like one of my old cats.
This was a good show, it should've lasted longer.

dodinewell, since you mentioned that your dad's a contestant in this here episode, i will automatically root for him. Maybe I shouldn't be so biased, but what the heck, huh? As of this comment, I haven't seen the outcome yet. So, as unnecessary as it may seem because you know what the outcome is and I don't, wish him luck.
I wish this show can be revived

Was Triple Threat taped on the same stage where the original version of Star Search was taped?
Apparently, these players thought Herman's Hermit sang a Coasters song. Oh well.
i watched this show.
Was this game show filmed at CBS Television City? It looks that way to me
They used the Pyramid buzzer.

I was wondering about that cos I kind or remember seeing this show and part of me thought about WOR (which we got here in South Jersey) and I half remembered this show but I wasn't 100% certain I THINK also our Channel 9 at one time showed Cubs games but I could be wrong about that too...anyways its always interesting to go see some of these shows from back in the day (I was 7 around this time...yikes) and try to place if I ever watched it. I THINK I saw this one but not sure
