The Money Maze | The Pilot 

I can easily see this couple today, in their 80's... "Remember that game show we were on, Bernie? It was called Money Maze, remember Bernie? The host was George Clooney's father, remember that Bernie?" I remember watching this when I was in junior high. There was one episode I remember where a contestant hit a maze wall so hard I thought it was going to fall over.

I loved this game show and always tried to get home from school to see at least the endings. Would love to see a revival or any possible old episodes.

Used to watch this after school. It was a late afternoon show

I remember watching "The Moneymaze" on ABC the first half of 1975. If this game show were to be revived on ABC, George Clooney would be the perfect host for the potentially newer version of this game show. His dad Nick Clooney did an excellent job hosting this ABC game show.

They just found another episode of the Money Maze recently! It lasted just one season--1974-75. In the pilot, it was strange to see Rhode Island compete against Delaware--fittingly enough that it would last only half-a-year to follow. But I remember both years!

"HIT THE BUTTON, BERNIE!!!"

Nick Clooney anchored the news at the NBC owned and operated station, KNBC 4 in Los Angeles. And for some more trivia, Rosemary Clooney was Nick's sister.

I once heard that this show was an absolute operational and financial nightmare for the production company. It required a greater than usual amount of labor because a large number of stage-hands were needed to set-up and break-down the stage and the maze. The stage was no different than the stages for other game shows, but setting-up and taking-down the maze took the better part of day. This meant that the production company was spending far more in wages than other game shows. Also, since the maze took so long to set-up and take-down, the studio couldn't be used to tape other game shows. This meant that the producers of the Money Maze had to pay nearly a full day's rent for the studio time. Finally, extra storage space, and higher storage costs, were involved because there were so many panels for the maze. Viewership of the Money Maze was no higher than other game shows in and around it's time slot which meant that the production company couldn't demand higher advertising revenues to off-set it's higher production costs.

Watched this show when I was in high school. Love it.

Yep. He was offered to host other game show pilots, but he turned them all down.

When ABC picked up, Gould was replaced by Alan Katler as announcer because Chet Gould went busy by doing What's My Line?

I used to watch it in high school. First, the Money Maze, and then it was The Big Showdown with Jim Peck. It’s a shame it didn’t last long :(

THIS IS AWESOME! I loved this as a kid. I know they were erased...but PLEASE find more episodes.

Strange-I like this version better than the ABC version.

Makes me wonder if Kline & Friends took notes from Ron Greenberg when making Masters of the Maze.

MAKE A LEFT, BERNIE! MAKE A LEFT! LLEEFFTT!!!!!

Excellent Money Maze Pilot!!

In the 1980s Nick Clooney was actually here in Buffalo as an anchor for WGRZ NewsCenter 2

I imagine the technical issues behind this game show. Definitely should be revived.

14:04 .... I instantly went to Alexis and Chrystal calling each other names!

TV Console with built in 8 track system. Lol! Of course, that was high tech stuff back then.

I use always watch these shows in the days other favorite of mine was the new treasure hunt & lets make a deal great game shows of the past..

that is NOT a 1975 Chevlle

that's Because he IS related to Greoge Clooney Nick, is his Father

GO TO THE RIGHT, BERNIE..!!! 😂😂😂

If Nick is George Clooney's dad, then Rosemary must be Geroge's aunt, right?

wonder if anybody got dizzy during this game i know i would

You know, Nick Clooney bears a slight resemblance to that actor that was on "Facts of Life"...and "ER"...and all those "Ocean" movies...and "Batman and Robin"...I wonder if they're related.

He looks like Robert Tilton!

@ 19:25 He should have said, "Shut up and listen to me."

GO TO THE RIGHT BERNIE ...GO TO THE RIGHT !

Did MCA TV co produce The Money Maze? If the ratings were decent this show could have been syndicated.
