I sorely miss TNN Nashville and this was my favorite show on the network. When school was off, I took over the TV to watch this show along with all the games on the old USA Network and WGN News at Noon from Chicago (on the superstation).
“TNN Nashville” becomes “Paramount Network” as this favorite channel for my show on the network. I like to bring back my old school memories since the 1980’s to the 1990’s!
This aired originally between April 5, 1989(show premiered 4/3/89 and the champ is on her third day here)-April 28, 1989 as the Viewers CHoice awards aired on 4/29/89 on TNN. It's the first month of Top Card's run. The second-fourth seasons had a different Q&A based bonus round and all questions were about music, some country and some not country. Dan Miller who hosted a few other shows on TNN over the years and Paige Brown were the hosts for seasons three and four.
+Zach Horan Adding to that, I think Brad Staggs was the announcer on season 3, then Don Dashiell, who worked on the first two seasons with Jim Caldwell and Blake Pickett, returned for season 4.
Yep this is predecessor to the show. It kind of followed the format of Gambit with a dealer and the cards but they had categories to pick from vs. just using the dealer. GameShowGarbage did a video on this show for their "Games of 90" series so you can go check that out for a better explanation for sure
1) They should have been required to keep letting you come back. You getting the car should not have ended your run. 2) They should have been required to allow the Ace to be 1 or 11 like any other respectable 21 game.
@@sidkrantz9533 Why is that necessary? Gambit allowed for Aces to be 1 or 11. Catch 21 allows for Aces to be 1 or 11 and that's with every player getting a random card to start each round, which can mean a player might win a round with ONE question, if their random card + the question they answered correctly granted an Ace and 10-valued card.
@@MewtwoStruckBack If aces were 1/11, a round could end REALLY quick - meaning Jim, Blake, etc., would have to stretch - often. TC never lead to straddling.
@@sidkrantz9533 Then you get more rounds in - you do like Card Sharks where episodes can have more than one full game in them or you start new episodes where a player’s going to the bonus round from a previous game. No stretch needed.
I'm guessing in Top Card Plus, the retail values of the smaller prizes were always in multiples of $10 and the retail values of the grand prizes were always in multiples of $100. Also, I bet Bob Barker would be angry if he saw that fur coat.
Actually, there was an episode from this format that used to be on here where the contestants kept choosing a category called Country Music Legends, and I think that was why the rules changed the next season.
Why wasn't the ace worth 11 instead of 1? imagine had the producers told the host that the contestant had to pick the wild card b/c it was his next choice although he'd picked the top card and won.
