I loved this game show and always tried to get home from school to see at least the endings. Would love to see a revival or any possible old episodes.
I can easily see this couple today, in their 80's... "Remember that game show we were on, Bernie? It was called Money Maze, remember Bernie? The host was George Clooney's father, remember that Bernie?"
I remember watching this when I was in junior high. There was one episode I remember where a contestant hit a maze wall so hard I thought it was going to fall over.
I would LOVE it if they were still together. God bless them both.
Pilot...likely actors who appeared in many gameshow pilots.
Used to watch this after school. It was a late afternoon show
They just found another episode of the Money Maze recently! It lasted just one season--1974-75. In the pilot, it was strange to see Rhode Island compete against Delaware--fittingly enough that it would last only half-a-year to follow. But I remember both years!
I remember watching "The Moneymaze" on ABC the first half of 1975. If this game show were to be revived on ABC, George Clooney would be the perfect host for the potentially newer version of this game show. His dad Nick Clooney did an excellent job hosting this ABC game show.
Watched this show when I was in high school. Love it.
They let you watch tv in high school ? That must of been some fine school you were in. The only thing we got to watch in high school was films and slides.
I once heard that this show was an absolute operational and financial nightmare for the production company. It required a greater than usual amount of labor because a large number of stage-hands were needed to set-up and break-down the stage and the maze. The stage was no different than the stages for other game shows, but setting-up and taking-down the maze took the better part of day. This meant that the production company was spending far more in wages than other game shows. Also, since the maze took so long to set-up and take-down, the studio couldn't be used to tape other game shows. This meant that the producers of the Money Maze had to pay nearly a full day's rent for the studio time. Finally, extra storage space, and higher storage costs, were involved because there were so many panels for the maze. Viewership of the Money Maze was no higher than other game shows in and around it's time slot which meant that the production company couldn't demand higher advertising revenues to off-set it's higher production costs.
Game shows always rented the studio for the day because they taped several episodes one after the other.
"HIT THE BUTTON, BERNIE!!!"
To the right BERNIE
Nick Clooney anchored the news at the NBC owned and operated station, KNBC 4 in Los Angeles. And for some more trivia, Rosemary Clooney was Nick's sister.
I used to watch it in high school. First, the Money Maze, and then it was The Big Showdown with Jim Peck. It’s a shame it didn’t last long :(
Yep. He was offered to host other game show pilots, but he turned them all down.
When ABC picked up, Gould was replaced by Alan Katler as announcer because Chet Gould went busy by doing What's My Line?
Alan Kalter. Was David Letterman's announcer when Bill Wendell retired.
THIS IS AWESOME! I loved this as a kid. I know they were erased...but PLEASE find more episodes.
14:04 .... I instantly went to Alexis and Chrystal calling each other names!
I imagine the technical issues behind this game show. Definitely should be revived.
In the 1980s Nick Clooney was actually here in Buffalo as an anchor for WGRZ NewsCenter 2
I use always watch these shows in the days other favorite of mine was the new treasure hunt & lets make a deal great game shows of the past..
Makes me wonder if Kline & Friends took notes from Ron Greenberg when making Masters of the Maze.
Strange-I like this version better than the ABC version.
Excellent Money Maze Pilot!!
TV Console with built in 8 track system. Lol! Of course, that was high tech stuff back then.
Kevin Powers wow! Must have been complicated enough to combine tv with a stereo system.
It probably had serious speakers ...we had the tv/8 track/ turntable combo ...it had 2 12 inch speakers that shook the house...I miss 8 track
Not many of those made.
MAKE A LEFT, BERNIE! MAKE A LEFT! LLEEFFTT!!!!!
that's Because he IS related to Greoge Clooney Nick, is his Father
GO TO THE RIGHT, BERNIE..!!! 😂😂😂
I love at the end.
Nick: "Listen to me!"
Hellen: "WHAAAT?!"
@@KiddBloo86 I wonder what the ride on the way home was like.
Bernie ya putz go to the right!! 🤯
that is NOT a 1975 Chevlle
If Nick is George Clooney's dad, then Rosemary must be Geroge's aunt, right?
yes
Yep
10 points your team takes the lead
He looks like Robert Tilton!
aka "The Farting Preacher?" LOL
wonder if anybody got dizzy during this game i know i would
You know, Nick Clooney bears a slight resemblance to that actor that was on "Facts of Life"...and "ER"...and all those "Ocean" movies...and "Batman and Robin"...I wonder if they're related.
They're father and son. Nick Clooney is George Clooney's father.
If they bring this show back, they could BOTH be a Host. George could host a daily network version, and Nick do a nighttime show. syndicated
…And his mother is Rosemary Clooney
@ 19:25 He should have said, "Shut up and listen to me."
+snowden67 Yeah, that probably would have worked, but you want the viewing public, as well as the contestants, to think you're a nice and classy guy. You don't want them to believe you're rude otherwise no one's going to want to watch your show, let alone be a part of it. So yeah, it would've worked, but you have to remember your image and as far as your image is concerned, that's just something you simply cannot do. It wouldn't be nice.
Did MCA TV co produce The Money Maze? If the ratings were decent this show could have been syndicated.
Production costs were too high; it took 1 full day to put the set and studio together. Then to change the maze after every episode. It got rather expensive to the point it dipped into promotion money.
The show was produced by Daphne Productions (a Dick Cavett company) and Don Lipp Productions. MCA TV was not involved.
GO TO THE RIGHT BERNIE ...GO TO THE RIGHT !
