This version was actually a revival of a show that originally aired in the late 60s. It lasted from April 1983 to June 1984 on NBC. While it was an interesting show, it aired at 11:30am ET, which put it in direct competition with the second half of "The Price is Right" on CBS. At least a year and two months is still a good run for a daytime show that tried to give away new houses.
First numbers to appear on the digital display are: 1938 (Row 1), 7645 (Row 2), and 2069 (Row 3). Sorry we missed the year 1938 (lol)! (And incredibly, these were also the last numbers to appear!)
