Very nice to see The New Chain Reaction with Geoff Edwards. I remember watching this on the old USA Network when they had the biggest game show block schedule
My Mom and Godmother were on this show back in the 80's and were the first 5 day champions (from what I remember being told). That was a good Christmas. Lol ❤️
I recall watching this on Global weekday mornings. It was paired up with Bumper Stumpers which was filmed in Toronto and like this version of Chain Reaction used the same bell and buzzer from the $25,000 Pyramid.
During the 1986 version's first 4 seasons when the show was titled as "The New Chain Reaction", the font used for the words "The" and "New" in The New Chain Reaction logo signs is called Santa Fe.
I loved the theme song, host Geoff Edwards, the CBS canned applause, Rod Charlebois ushering in the show and the players, and the fact that this aired on USA during the eighties and nineties (1986-'92).
On a sadder note, Rod Charlebois passed away in May (shortly after his 79th birthday) due to complications from a bicycle accident...RIP Rod, and say hi to Geoff for us! 😔

So great to see this again. Love Geoff Edwards!
Geoff Edwards was a seriously underrated game show host

Word! From 1985 to 1995, the USA Network schedule was the go-to for great game shows.
That was a huge part of my summers when I was a kid!

well it is from the same producer mr Bob Stewert
Marvelous word game from Bob Stewart. This show has had more lives than a cat.
Note the long gap between the hotel plug and start of the end credits, which is where fee plugs would have been placed for the US airing.
Love seeing these new chain reaction episodes, if you have more please please keep them coming, Blake or Geoff ones 😃😃

This was a Canadian GS but they used the CBS canned applause

Sorry to hear about that. We have the memories of Rod and Geoff to treasure now.
So Geoff was hosting this show at the same time he started hosting the syndicated version of Jackpot?
yes
@Puzzlefan30 Second best for me. I prefer the one with Bill Cullen just a little bit more.
Gail and Carol both did good. 😀👍
I thought that would be trained seal
Im wondering did Geoff really not know the answer or was he just trying to make a joke at the end of each show
500 dollars is better than nothing
I swear canned applause carried this show...
I know lol
Did they even have a real audience in the studio? The reaction noise to them losing the bonus round was really cheesy.
No they didn’t. Geoff confirmed this in an interview years ago.
