The bell sound effect was used in High Rollers, Family Feud, Tic Tac Dough (1978-1980), Card Sharks (winning bell alarm clock-style), and Bullseye and Celebrity Bullseye (1981-82).
@lakebay972 "Catch 21" is mostly similar to the failed 1990 pilot of "Gambit," which (like the syndicated "High Rollers") was produced by Merrill Heatter in association with Orion. Through its acquisition of the Orion properties, Sony now owns Heatter-Quigley formats "The Hollywood Squares," "P.D.Q." (and its remake, "Baffle"), "Funny You Should Ask," "The Magnificent Marble Machine," "High Rollers," and "Gambit."
The GSN show "Catch 21" is a revival of "Gambit." It isn't called "Gambit" because it is assumed people would confuse the game show with a show/movie about the Marvel Comics X-Men character. Therefore, "Catch 21" is a better alternative name for the game show.
@lakebay972 No, that's not the reason. The game show "Gambit" was owned by Filmways when Heatter-Quiigley was sold to them. It then became the property of Orion when Filmways was taken over and now, like "Hollywood Squares," it it the property of the evil empire, Sony. "Catch 21" is not a remake of "Gambit," according to Merrill Heatter. Although there are similarities, if "Catch 21" actually were seen to be a remake, Sony could demand huge royalties or shut it down.
Both comments about the buzzer sound are wrong. Nothing like from either game show. Although, with permission by Goodson/Todman, they could've added the losing horns.

Gotta love that synth music bed.
I recall this when I was four years old
it is. It's also the same buzzer later used on another CBS game show in "Child's Play" in 1982 as well.

Yes Catch 21 is a revival of this show with some fairly minor rules changes. The thing is, it's a very good basic game.
Wink bobbled his words.
