    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

    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.

    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.

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 THINK I saw this one but not sure
