Concentration 1969 Challenge of Champions Finals 

Bob went on to become announcer on the Pyramid shows after NBC canceled Concentration until his death in 1979.

This show needs a reboot! I would love to see a new version of this wonderful show.

I am also glad that BUZZR had the original "Concentration", that ran 1973 to 1978 weeknights at 7:30 pm eastern. Hosted by Jack Narz with Johnny Olson as announcer.

Later Downes became host of 20/20.

Bob Clayton was a good replacement for Hugh Downs. He seemed to really enjoy the game and brought a lot of energy.

The hosts know the right answer from the beginning of each game , an exercise at being poker faced throughout .

Something that also happened in the 1967 CoC-which likewise came down to a best-of remaining 3-Game set.

Shows like this and Whats My Line had the studio audience on their honor that no one would yell out the information . Where as on The Price Is Right the audience would yell out whatever their opinions .

This installment is just like the 1967 CoC-it came down to a best-of-remaining 3 game set.

The theme played over the audience pan shot was "Puppet On A String," a hit in England for Sandie Shaw, but I don't think here. I believe the musicians on the show then were Milt Kaye (organ) and Moe Goldenberg (percussion, the father of Hollywood composer Billy Goldenberg and a virtuoso percussionist who taught at Juilliard and wrote textbooks on the subject.)

I meant to mention Bob Clayton wasn’t the only one who wore the Concentration blazer,the same is true of those 2 women finalists.

Talk about VARIATIONS ON A THEME,that music heard at the outset is one to the fanfare for that Hong Kong movie company.

It might have aired around October,just days before that GE College Bowl Game between Johns Hopkins and Bradley.

22:17 the telecine is bugged up, Chris Bryant

I can notice Bob Clayton was the only one who wore that Concentration blazer.

Where Chattanooga is located-midway between Nashville and Atlanta.

In my estimation, Hugh Downs was the star of Concentration.

I’m convinced Bob meant a reference to Ed Sullivan.

It would be interesting to know exactly what car the Sport Compact was.

I wonder if the show where Pat who won the trip around the world has ever been found.

Maybe Diane didn’t get that automobile,only her landing the scooter made up for it.

21:08 Wow! What a way to win it!

Diane looks like Christine Baranski

Will Buzzr air this era of Concentration? It could air on weekends.

Wayne Howell is the announcer.

Steady,steady audience.

Good thing,Bob only I don’t know who it is.

Chicago 9 Illinois? Where is the zip code 60609?

I also recognize the voice of Wayne Howell from a week or more of What’s My Line?

SOLD TO THE HIGHEST BIDDER.
