This career pitfall for Alex Trebek didn't last long. Three years later, another game show would come along that he would host and gained his place as the G.O.A.T.

@ABCEasyas-- Год назад

That game show would be Jeopardy

Yes, Pitfall! The show that went broke so that anybody that won didn't see a "toony" of their money!

Of alex trebek's 10 game shows i like Double dare for its announcer johnny olsen High rollers for its premise Pitfall for its bonus round Battlestars for the people that appeared on the show including bowser betty white and rip taylor Jeopardy for its 1st theme song 🎵 from 1984-1996 Classic concentration for its rebus puzzles and bonus round To tell the truth for the 1 on 1 format from the 1991 version

"Pitfall" should be rebooted for the USA. Same rules except, in the bonus round, 2 minute timer to get through ten chambers avoiding three pitfalls. $500 per chamber, winner gets $50,000. Two games in a 30 minute show.

@sugongshow Месяц назад

I think they should mix game elements of Pitfall with game elements of Whew! That would be amazing!

@user-uo6xu7dt7w 7 месяцев назад

It is so sad none of the contestants actually received their prizes due to the company going bankrupt. I think people responsible should have served jail time for fraud.

@bluebear1985 Месяц назад

It didn't help matters that prior to this, Catalena Productions got sued for about $200K by Hatos-Hall Productions. They had collaborated for a newer version of "Let's Make a Deal" in Vancouver about a year prior, and I don't think the latter company got a payment like they were supposed to, resulting in legal action. Also, I think Monty Hall had to step in and make sure the contestants on that show actually got the cash and/or prizes they won.

If *I* brought _Pitfall_ back, it'd be on ABC for their "Summer Fun and Games" block-with veteran cartoon voice artists Gregg Berger as host, and Frank Welker as announcer.

I’m from the Detroit area and I watched it on WOR TV 9 in New York City if you have cable. If you don’t, it was on Global CIII TV 29 Sarnia as well into the mid-1980s.

@redeye_ Год назад

a revival of this show would be great. it could be done on Buzzr, since they did try remaking old gameshows ages ago despite them airing old gameshows. OR it could be done at any canadian stations such as CBC, CTV Global or CityTV. its original syndication run could work as well Edit 1: the show was syndicated so yeah thats one detail i forgot

@ABCEasyas-- 11 месяцев назад

Or GSN, but the grand prize would have to be $10,000. They might not have the budget to make the elaborate set, though.

Note how both John and Alex mistakenly refer to Billie June as "Billie Jean" (despite the former initially getting her name correct during the intro).

It happens often, contestants are told not to correct the host on air unless he brings it up.

I don't feel like the runner up in the audience question round is on the show very long so if it were me, I would've had contestants stay on the show until they lost two games.

@jasonwuthrich4101 Год назад

If I were rebooting this show today (in answer to George Master: does anybody know who, if anybody, owns the rights now?), I would do like they do on "The $100,000 Pyramid:" play two games with the same two contestants.

@foxmccloud7055 Год назад

If you are going to bring back "Pitfall", actually pay your host and contestants.
