There was also the forgotten, short-lived, ill-fated CBS Daytime run that lasted 2 months. That version used black Jump-In Questions. Also if there was a tie, a final Jump-In Question was played to determine the winner. The bonus round on that version was almost similar to the 1990 version, except you didn't have to choose to be X or O. Every X or O you revealed was worth $150 no matter what. Revealing the 1 Tic-Tac-Dough was a win. The dragon itself and the background behind him also had a slightly different color schemes. Being a CBS daytime series, contestants retired if they exceeded the CBS-winnings limit of $25,000.
Surprised you didn't mention the Dragon Finder Round or Tom McKee, the all time gameshow winner in the USA, until Regis Philbin started asking people "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?"
Lest we forget who turned those two words into total cringe, The Patriot Saint of Game Show Garbage, Patrick Wayne! AKA... *_YOOOOOOUUUUU WIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIN!!!!!!_*
Cool video. I found it because Wink Martindale himself shared this on his Facebook page.
Loved this show!
You're ready to find lots of other game show enthusiasts who will surely be glad to follow your detailed explanations.
To this day this is still my favorite game show of all time.
Game Show Junkie is right-- Kit made a name for himself on this show (just as Thom McKee did before him), and Kit calls the studio a dump?! Unreal.
IIRC, an older version of this show was part of the Quiz Show scandal. So far as I know, the syndicated 80s version was on the up-and-up.
The host look a lot like Bob Barker from TPIR
Didn't mention the 1990 91 version THe Auction category moment with Kit closed out the 1983 84 season

If I said that phrase, I'd be a little more excited than Patrick Wayne would be. Heck, I'd even throw in something like We Have A Winner!
Ngl I was a little scared of the dragon as a kid

The 1990-91 version will be a future episode just like with The Joker's Wild 1990.
This show definitely leaned on the red categories too hard by the end.
