Game show based on Yahtzee starring Peter Marshall from 1988. Celebrity guests are Jerry Stiller, Anne Meara, Fred Willard, Tom Poston, and Jo Anne Worley.
No not all dice-rolling, but not nearly as much Q&A emphasis. "High Rollers" made a good balance between the dice and questions. It took several minutes to get to a 20 second dice roll.
I had a thought of how this might've worked: ditch the celebrities, use two teams of four, and have one person on each team face off against each other in a question round, with the first to three questions getting a die roll. Use different players for the game. First one to Yahtzee wins, or the team furthest along the way after four rounds wins. Thoughts?
Actually, disneyfan81, he's right (as are you with the Reel to Reel Picture Show). Ralph Andrews Productions went through financial problems in the mid-80s, which explains the lack of game shows they produced at that time. The same problems Yahzee had the '80s Lingo suffered that same problems.
Clever format, but way too much going on. The Match Game-esque questions took too much time to get to the essence of the game, which is the dice rolling.
I love how the girl contestant so-call shakes up the dice in that large tub, neither one of the large five dice tumble while being shaked up. LMAO!!!! Peter Marshall is all over the place. Stuttering, being bossy, and not knowing the format.
