Most episodes of this series are lost. One of the surviving episodes was posted on YouTube (it's not just for funny cat videos). The episode is infamous as when the host is walking down the stairs at the beginning, he falls down, causing the episode to be nicknamed "The Big Falldown". He gets up, and while the audience is laughing, says "Sure, you guys would applaud a lynching". The show is largely remembered for this clip. This is a shame as it was actually a great show, a little bit like Jeopardy!, and quite fast-paced. Check out the episode if you can....this is another old forgotten game show that should be revived, and yes, I am just filling up the lines due to IMDb's rule that reviews should run at least 10 lines. Sorry about that.
