This is a single episode of the short-lived primetime game show "Monopoly." The hosts are Mike Reilly & Michelle Nicholas. The contestants are Chris, Helen & Victor.
This show was a weekly series that aired on ABC in the summer of 1990, being paired with "Super Jeopardy" during that time. It was produced by Merv Griffin, the man originally behind "Jeopardy" and "Wheel of Fortune". The host seen here, Mike Reilly, was just a former five-time champion on "Jeopardy", and was apparently a contestant in the pilot episode for this show! The pilot, which was originally intended for syndication, was hosted by Peter Tomarken, who was best known for hosting "Press Your Luck". When not enough stations agreed to carry the show, it became a limited summertime series instead.
This show is great. Rapid fire questions, no meaniness background stories and talking segments. Just a pure quiz show. I can definitely tell it was from the creators of jeopardy.
@@haveyouseenthis516 I think the idea here was to give it a short network run before selling it into syndication, but the market was just too crowded with game shows at this time. It would have helped its chances if Peter Tomarkin hosted as originally planned.
If the main "Make It Or Break It" round was a Craps game, there would be four come-out winners (betting on the Pass Line of course), a point hit, and one crap.
They need to reboot this show. There's some changes I would make, Each player picks their game piece, and it's image or silhouette appears on whatever space they roll. They would roll by using a dice roller in the center of the stage on the game board with remote control(similar to that rock'n roller on Monopoly Millionaire's Club). If a player lands on FREE PARKING, they can collect the money that's in it by answering a crossword clue but ONLY the player who lands on FREE PARKING gets that chance, the others can not try to steal. Round1: (Properties) It would still be the same way they acquire properties, here. By answering a crossword puzzle clue with the first letter provided. The property will change into the color of the correct contestants podium. Round2: (Monopoly) The players add buildings to their properties. Players would roll the dice with the remote controlled dice roller and their game piece's image/silhouette will appear on what space they rolled. If they land on their own property, they answer a crossword puzzle clue to collect the rent but if they answer incorrectly, the other players can buzz in and steal that rent. If a player lands on someone else's property, they can still collect the rent if they answer correctly but if they answer incorrectly, the landlord collects the rent out of the visitor's winnings. If the player ends up in jail, they would remain there for 3 turns unless they pay bail or roll doubles. But if one of the other players lands on a jailed player's properties, the jailed player can not collect rent if the visitor answers incorrectly. If the visitor does answer incorrectly, the rent goes into FREE PARKING. Again, if they land on a railroad, they get a chance to take over another player's monopoly. Round 3: (Double Monopoly) The same as the previous round only the money has all doubled. During the break before starting Round 3, the players have had a chance to add more houses or convert to hotels. But if a player is jail when Round 2 ends, they will have to stick with what buildings are already on their properties for the remainder of the game.(As in the board game, you can not build while you're in jail) Round 2 & 3 will end when they hear a train whistle blow indicating that the round is over. Round 4: (Bonus Monopoly) The winner gets 5 rolls of the dice to try to get all the way around the board. They will literally walk around the board with the host. If they land on a property they will get money for it and the money will be 5x the rent of a hotel, so anywhere from $1000 to $10,000. If they land on a railroad, they will get a vacation. Nice prizes if they land on utilities. If they land on FREE PARKING, they will get a new car. If they pass GO, they will win $50K but if they land exactly on GO, they will win $100K. However, if the winner is in control of all 8 (colored) monopolies, they will receive $1M if they land exactly on GO but still $50K if they pass GO. If winner ends up going to jail in the bonus round, they will lose everything what they got in the bonus round but still keep the cash they got from winning the game.
that would work well with how most game shows are an hour now. You wouldn't have to rush each round and with the bonus round taking probably 5-7 minutes at best, you'd be able to make a compelling game
Thanks and yes, I forgot to mention, instead of half an hour, it should be 1 hour so there’s more time for playing and for the game to get interesting.
I like what you wrote here, but instead of crossword clues with answers beginning with the first letter, I would ask trivia questions with each side of the board representing a different category (i.e.: World Capitals, Daytime Television, It's in the Lyrics, etc.) Three multiple choice answers would be given in the colours of red, gold or green, and constants can answer by yelling out the colour. If they yell out the colour with the correct answer, they get the property.
Maybe but I like the crossword clues better. Using categories with multiple choice answers seems a little complicated, no offense. Besides if someone were to try to steal rent with one of the 2 remaining answers and still got it wrong, the other remaining player would get it right by default because there would be only one answer remaining. I don’t like people getting the correct answer that way. With the crossword clues, there’s not really any way someone can get it by default.
@bmaze35640 but there's an asterisk, the show didn't really have much to do with the board game. There were others: Taboo, Cluedo (what they call Clue in the uk, became a show there), 25 words or less, reel to reel picture show, Pictionary, scattergories, and GSN did do a pilot for Tribond but it wasn't picked up.

This needs to be brought back immediately. I love this game. Best board game ever.

Thanks. I remember watching this at the time. Similar to the Trivial Pursuit game show, I realized I just preferred playing the real games.
You're welcome. This wasn't a bad show but hardly compelling enough to last as a primetime series.

Helen missed it on saddle but beat the buzzer on wishbone.
Crossword puzzle clues?!

Didn’t know this was a thing but I do know MrBeast ended up making a huge video using the game
Board games that became game shows:
Scrabble
Yahtzee
Trivial Pursuit
Boggle
Monopoly
Scrabble was by far the best of those.

@@bmaze35640 That show ran for close to a decade in the US.
Scrabble and Trivial Pursuit have been rebooted and will air in October.
