    I LOVE this show! I'm only 24 years old but I've seen the PDQ pilot and hear and only seen photos of Baffle but glad to see how the game was actually played! Thank you so much Wink! It's such a shame that hardly anymore episodes of the show is in existence!

    Very underrated fun and awesome Heatter-Quigley show! I've heard the audio clips and seen a very pics of this show but now it's an even more awesome treat to see how it's played in action! A perfect '70s update of the show PDQ and the set and visuals look pretty cool and (IMO) ahead of its time for 1973 standards.

    I remember Baffle. It was a revival of PDQ that replaced NBC's long running game show Concentration. It was also one of the first games under the regime of new network VP of daytime television Lin Bolen. She wanted to change the look of NBC's game shows by purging most of the New York based shows such as Sale of the Century and The Who, What or Where Game. Jeopardy would also get the ax.
    I also remember Kenny Williams intoning "We'll be back with more of Baffle after these message as a graphic calling the game "The fastest show in the West" appeared on the screen.

    I was on Baffle. I practiced with Barbara Feldon and McLean Stevenson, but didn't get selected to play that week. The next week I was selected and played with Bill Bixby and Nanette Fabray. I did well with Bill Bixby (don't remember the phrase) but stumbled when Nanette Fabray couldn't get "ball gown." I left with a lot of parting gifts on which I had to pay taxes!!

    I loved this show when I was a kid. I loved the lights & music and would've loved the colors if we'd had a color tv then. It's unusual to see the male celebrity introduced first and on the left side of the screen, but maybe H-Q were trying to avoid being sued by G-T, who followed that pattern for Password. I vaguely remember a 3-point bonus game (maybe it's what we saw here w/ the 5 words near the end) which was later changed to a 10-point bonus game.

      And while he hosted this show and Three For the Money on NBC, he hosted the sports trivia game show Sports Challenge in both 1st-run syndication from early 1971 thru 1979 as well as a brief weekly Saturday edition for CBS in the Spring of 1973 thru the Fall of 1973.
      Sports Challenge was considered by many as the granddaddy of all sports themed game shows.

    And a show which, 13 years later, Wink would host a revival of.

      Winning Streak appeared on NBC in 1974, hosted by Bill Cullen, who hosted another NBC game show, Three on a Match, which had just been cancelled. Three on a Match & Winning Streak were both Bob Stewart productions, taped at 30 Rock in NYC and announced by NBC legend Don Pardo.

      Jason, I think this was so in the later episodes of what became "All-Star Baffle", when the winning side chose a player from the audience [or so I think] to play a bonus round whose stakes were higher: 10 words in 60 seconds; less than 8 correct won a hidden prize depending on how many they got right; 9 correct won a car; all 10 won $5000 + a trip in addition to that car.
