This was one of my favorite Bill Cullen shows, the others being "Eye Guess" and "Three On A Match". I'd like to see revivals of all three!

This show is fun, I especially love the bonus round the most.

Bob Stewart created a lot of game shows that should have run longer because they were so good and engaging. Eye Guess, Three on a Match, Jackpot, Pass the Buck and Go. But his all-time classic Pyramid rewarded him very handsomely.

This game show should have been a hit. 😀👍

Super excellent 1978 game show, I love to watch the entire the 13 week run!

The concept of Pass the Buck could a precursor to the later Hot Potato, which was also hosted by Bill Cullen

I have not seen this back then good game with Bill Cullen.

#GAMESHOWNETWORK TAKE A BUCK 🇺🇸

This was a fun game show to watch! Bill Cullen was so witty --- and a wee bit naughty! The rules are so easy, you can play Pass The Buck at home on game nights. What a fun way to eliminate your fellow players!

Very interesting game show.....

This show lasted just three months: April through June 1978.

20:43 - Stay tuned for "The Price Is Right" over most of these same CBS stations!

Great guy

Deena did excellent. 😀👍

I think this is the last show that Bill Cullen emceed from New York. By this time, I believe "The $25,000 Pyramid" in syndication had gone off the air. His next show that made it to air was "Chain Reaction" in 1980, which taped at NBC in Burbank, CA.

The game is hard! I don’t remember this!

Bill Cullen's Wardrobe Furnished By Rubin Brothers International The same wardrobe worn by the likes of Gene Rayburn, Tom Kennedy, Alex Trebek, Peter Marshall and Dick Clark

Is that a piece of the winners circle from Pyramid?

Taped at the Ed Sullivan Theater.

oh, I was about to say that Steve said the twist for "kinds of dances" in the firstcategory in the bonus round, BUT he had said it after the buzzer started so obviously because of that they couldn't give him credit for it. (besides, Bill might not have heard him anyway,.since the fact that he said it after the buzzer started was not even mentioned.) (I assume that if he, or ANYONE else on staff had heard Steve say it then they would've had Bill tell him that he had said it after the buzzer had started.)

It's not the pilot, it's the first aired episode.

I love how the audience is way ahead of Bill when he reveals the list categories in the bonus round. Name 2 famous JOHNS. - KOHLER - AMERICAN STANDARD Name 4 FRUITS. (you can use your imagination here)

Hi go great Game shows

The opening music was the same as they used for Jackpot in the early 70's

Go Number ones.

Say why does that sound like Bob Clayton of Pyramid announcing?

Sort of like Hot Potato which Bill Cullen also hosted

Is that... Nipsey Russell doing the VO?

What they should've done is, had they been renewed another season, moved it to CBS Television City instead, and then, this would be the ideal tech staff instead: Art Director ED FLESH Associate Director RAY BALL Production Supervisor ALMA L. RAMIREZ Lighting Director TONY CESTARE Technical Director BOB SCHULZ Audio TERRY HENSEY Video AL KAWA Videotape Editor PETER ABRAHAM Set Decorator JOHN HEUNERS Stage Managers BOB CHIC, WILLIE DAHL

Hi Chris

Except the first three weeks, when this show was on CBS daytime, most American viewers preferred NBC daytime's "Card Sharks" and other programs in how to help make them popular instead of "Pass The Buck".

BULL CULLEN??!!!

Bill Cullen was one of the greatest game show hosts of all time and perhaps the most genial and easy to watch, but he should not have kept interrupting the contestants in the bonus round with "Keep going." That distracted them from the list they were making. They went back and repeated themselves to remember what they had already said and refocus on the category, wasting time, instead of plunging ahead. That reaction was completely predictable. Trying saying a phone number you don't have written down, let someone interrupt you with "keep going" and you will go back to the beginning and repeat the numbers you already gave. I hope the producers noticed and told him not to do this in future episodes. If not, one wonders if they were hoping that he would indeed distract the contestant, making it more difficult to win the $5,000. I doubt this, having appeared on a Bob Stewart show myself in the 70's. If you could beat the obstacles in the game itself, starting with your opponents, they wanted you to win. It's not easy to make a game in which every bright contestant wins the big prize or virtually no one wins it. The first situation is boring to the viewers, while the second gives rise to accusations, probably unfounded, that the producers are cheap. Generally speaking, the hidden answers for the bonus round in each category were a good mix. Kind of the same skills needed as in Pyramid.

Go one twothree
