I'll do any suggested trade, as long as money is not involved. I only trade
tapes for tapes. Trading tapes for money is in violation of copyright laws and I won't
have any of that.
Enough legal stuff, on to the collection! And if you'd like to trade, e-mail me!

All About Faces

All About The Opposite Sex

1-2. Crummy The Better Sex clone. B+E really laid an egg with

44% of the Hollywood Squares. With o/c. Christopher Hewitt
belches during a question, and Peter Marshall butchers "Walesa"!
Beat The Clock '79 - Monty Hall
The premiere ep, aired in 1997 as part of Game
Show Network's New Year's Day marathon of premiere episodes.
The Better Sex
Women's team wins $10,000 against some pretty weak men. From GSN Game
TV's "Out of the Vault".
The Big ShowDown
"The Big Fall-Down," where Jim Peck falls down the stairs!
Also features a $5000 win! Probable studio master.
Break the Bank '76 - Tom Kennedy

round.

Concentration '78
Narz syndie ep. Linda vs. Randy. Video and audio out of sync, o/b
Concentration (1985 pilot)
Would become Classic Concentration in 1987. Hosted by Orson Bean, and
uses the CC theme music, the CC bonus round (sort of), and the 25-square game board. Other
than that, the game is very different from the one we know and love. If anyone wants more
specific information, e-mail me and I'll be happy to provide it.
Diamond Head Game
1. The only game that truly deserved to be a Faux Pause Pick...but
should've been ridiculed instead.

The Joker's Wild
(3 eps)
1. The 1975 CBS series finale, with a very classy way to go out.
Probable studio master.
2. Ep from 1980. Contestant goes for a car...and loses when, at a $500-$500 tie, his
opponent spins three jokers and she wins. A major downer.
3. Ep from 1985 (Bill Cullen hosting). I'm not spoiling the rest here... :-)
