This is a recording of an episode of The Money Maze that was filmed around March 1975 and aired around April 1975.
Enjoy!! There's only a few episodes available publicly. The pilot is on KZfaq and apparently Andy Warhol recorded another episode on his recorder kept at the Paley Center for Media in NY. Here is another episode for folks to enjoy.
From Wikipedia about the show:
The Money Maze is an American television game show seen on ABC from December 23, 1974, to June 27, 1975.[1] The show was hosted by Nick Clooney and was announced by Alan Kalter. It was produced by Daphne-Don Lipp Productions, of which Dick Cavett was a principal.The object of the game was to negotiate a large maze built on the studio floor. A contestant would direct his or her spouse from a perch above the maze; the spouse would need to find his or her way to a push-button on the side of a tower inside the maze.
Gameplay:
Two married couples played against each other for the right to enter the maze. Three regular rounds were played. Each round had a particular topic, with eight related clues. Two clues would be shown on a screen; one couple would select a clue for the other to attempt to answer. A correct answer scored a point, and that couple would then select from two clues (a new clue plus the one they didn't act on before) for their opponent. An incorrect answer gave the opponents a chance to answer instead. If they did so, they won the round and had a chance to answer as many of the remaining clues as they could; if they were also incorrect, play would continue in the round. If the two couples each answered four clues in the round, a tiebreaker would be played where two additional clues were shown. The first couple to activate a buzzer would select a clue to answer for one point, then try to answer the other for two points. If they were wrong on either, the other couple got a free attempt.The winning couple in each round would then send one member into the maze, with the other directing from above. The "runner" would have 15 seconds to find a phone-booth-size "tower" with push-buttons on each side. Pressing the lit button before time expired won the prize and three points. Later in the show's run, couples were given the option of trying to also reach a second tower within 25 seconds for a $500 bonus and three additional points; if they accepted the risk but couldn't reach both towers, the prize and the cash bonus were both lost.
Catch-Up Round:
Clues proceeded as in earlier rounds, except that the couple trailing in score at that point of the game would do all the answering and the leading team would select the clues. The first clue was worth one point, the second worth two, and so on. If the trailing couple incorrectly answered at any time before their score surpassed their opponents, the round was over and the other couple won outright. If the trailing couple tied or passed the leading couple's score, the leading couple, now trailing, received only one chance for a final clue that would win the game.The winner at the end of this round would play "The $10,000 Dash," a final maze run for a prize of up to $10,000. Both couples kept their money and prizes. If both couples were tied going into the Catch-Up Round, they each ran the maze for $10,000.
The $10,000 Dash:
In the final run, five of the towers (out of eight available) would be lit. Four of them would have zeroes on top, and the fifth would have a "1" lit. The runner had 60 seconds to activate the "1" and hit the button at the maze exit to win anything at all. To win the $10,000, the runner had to activate all the push-buttons, exit the maze and push the button within one minute. The total prize was determined by how many "zeroes" were reached in addition to the one: the 1 plus three zeroes won $1,000, the 1 plus two zeroes won $100, and so on. However, if the contestant activated only zeroes or failed to stop the clock, they won nothing.
Champions were retired upon winning the $10,000 Dash or after appearing for three days.

@@VahanNisanian My guess would be 1-2 wins a week. Unlike other shows which can provide easier/tougher material in the end game ("Wheel of Fortune" does have bonus puzzles which are fairly easy and some which are impossible, ditto for "Pyramid", etc.) Due to the massive cost of production for "Moneymaze", I would guess the goal was one big win each week. However, since the "Moneymaze" end game didn't rely on smarts as much as skill, it would be tougher to build in those easier/difficult maze patterns to get big winners each week. The $10,000 win in this show looks like an easier maze, due to the longer straight paths built in. Still, all of those, "RIGHT! NO, LEFT!" calls, required in 60 seconds...make it a challenge even WITH an easy maze. You can try to make for an easier win, but contestants can always gum up the works.

It was replaced by the short lived revival of You Don’t Say starring Tom Kennedy. Five months later, YDS was replaced by The Edge of Night, which ABC acquired from CBS.

What a find! Thanks to the fans who had a Betamax or early Panasonic VHS for doing what ABC failed to do: preserve an episode from a terrific game show the network had erased. Even just an episode or two from the actual run is a treasure. The show was a cancellation victim for two reasons: It was enormously expensive to take apart and build the maze (if the Lincoln Square facility had existed at the time ABC might have been able to keep this studio for "The Moneymaze"). Also ABC's head of daytime of programming wanted to purge any game shows in New York that wouldn't move to Los Angeles. Only Bob Stewart and "The $20,000 Pyramid" had enough clout to stay put. Amazingly, ratings didn't really have much to do with the cancellations of "The Moneymaze" and "The Big Showdown." They were pretty solid. The music for both "The Moneymaze" and "The Big Showdown" was by longtime Goodson-Todman supplier Score Productions. It was Dick Cavett's only foray into producing game shows via his Daphne Productions. The director was Arthur Forrest, longtime director for WNEW-Channel 5's "Wonderama"; he also directed ABC's "Kids Are People, Too."

The copyright on TV shows, particularly daytime shows, back in the 70's, frequently indicated the year the show first went on the air. The on-screen copyright credit was not always updated as the show progressed through it's production run because the eventual air dates were not necessicarily determined until after the individual shows were recorded. Money Maze didn't update it's copyright credit throughout it's run. And yes, Nick getting emotional at the end of the game seems completely sincere. It's a great thing to see on a game show.

I hear it was mainly canceled because it was too expensive to produce. It would take a full day to set everything up and another day to take it down on top of the day of taping. So with workers getting significant overtime pay and having to rent the studio for 2 additional days each time, they went way over budget.

I actually remember this episode. I remember when one of the prizes was a mink coat. That prize stood out from all the other bonus prizes and I believe was also the most expensive bonus prize. I also remember this was the only time Nick Clooney cried over the contestants’ success. One other episode I remember was a hapless couple who only had two runs at the $10,000 and only won $10 for their troubles. I remember in that couple, the wife was the more domineering one and when she got frustrated at her husband’s poor performance in the maze, she got angry and told him to “get the hell out of the maze.” This was decades before reality programming and a rare instance of poor sportsmanship on a TV game show at that time. Today, poor sportsmanship is all over TV. I grew up in New York when both “The Money Maze” and “The Big Showdown” had their run. I was in fourth grade. I was saddened that both shows were cancelled as New York in the mid-1970s was losing game show tapings to Los Angeles. The head of ABC Daytime Programming was a real douche cancelling both shows because he wanted them in L.A. By the way, I live in Orange County, California now, lol. 😂

Some thoughts. This was I think the only non kid game show that allowed young kids to attend a taping of the show. It certainly helped for the 10,000 dash as they yelled the countdown the loudest. The producers had complete control over who won 10,000. Take the dash shown above. Move the tower side for the zero in the lower left to a different side and the 10,000 would be extremely difficult. Extra time would be needed to reach the correct side.

I'm still trying to find out who "All fun and games" is, or if there is a way to send a personal message. I'm not very familiar with the current youtube parameters. Years ago it was possible to send a private message to the person who posted the video. Don Lipp sent me this episode on VHS about 15 or 20 years ago after we established an email friendship. After Don passed away his son sent me some nice emails also. I never shared this video with anyone because Don asked me not to, but I did send a copy to the Paoli family, which Don Lipp approved of. Ever since this episode appeared on youtube I've been dying to know if it was one of the Paoli Family who posted it, one of the Lipp family, or somebody else altogether. It's purely a curiosity. The most important thing is that the whole world can now see at least this one marvelous episode of The Money Maze, which may be the only fully existing episode of the actual broadcast run.

"The Big Showdown" aired at 1:30 central, following the popular, "The $20,000 Pyramid". As this was in the middle of ABC's afternoon schedule, it is likely most affiliates aired the show direct from the network feed, so there was no need to record, "Showdown". "The Moneymaze" aired in a horrible timeslot, 3 central/4 eastern, in which many stations chose to run local/syndicated programming. It is likely those tapes were from a station which time shifted "Moneymaze" to a different time the following day, and for whatever reason, never recorded over those tapes. If those tapes were not held in a temperature/humidity-controlled area, the tape would stick together, and as it unspooled, the oxide on the tape would stick as well and come off the tape, resulting in video dropout. I would still try to watch those shows! The moral of the story--keep those old VHS tapes in a cool, dry, dark place, and run them at least once a year!

@@TheTVsnob I hope your theory is correct, but sadly it seems impossible. It's the only possible chance that this show exists (an affiliate recorded them yet somehow has not disposed of the tapes all these years later). Certainly ABC didn't invest any money in storage of game show videotapes. These shows were recorded on 1-inch reel to reel: A gigantic plastic storage box for each single episode was required. It seems impossible that a commercial affiliate station would have all those 1-inch tapes in storage 45 years later. Most likely the original tapes were re-used by ABC week by week, and no archive of the show was ever created in the first place. That's why videotape was invented... it was reusable and inexpensive, compared to film. Only Goodson Todman had the insight to spend the money to preserve their shows. Indeed, to your point, ANY additional existing episodes of The Money Maze would be precious, even if in poor quality.

No, it was the show's creator Don Lipp in concert with Dick Cavett's Daphne productions.

Never saw an episode from the actual series before this. The idea of a grown man or woman running through a maze is hilarious. Clooney does a good job, but Kalter is over the top as announcer. I would love to see more, if they exist.

Yes, I thought Alan was trying to be a bit like Johnny Olson back then, but by the time he got the David Letterman job nearly a quarter-century after, he had developed his own style, I'm sure.

14:12 It's time for the Catch Up Round. And to quote the late legendary NY Yankee Yogi Berra "It's not over, until it's over." Because the Nevins, can still pull off the mother of all comebacks and dethrone the defending champion Paolis. One problem, the Paolis have control in this round and will be the inquisitors. So a 29 point deficit means they have to correctly answer 8 questions WITHOUT A MISS along the way. CATCH UP ROUND CATEGORY: End of the Decade So let's see how they fare in their quest to victory.

Correct me if I'm wrong but, didn't the top prize increase to $20,000 toward the end of the run? Also, that "Birthday Cake" button, didn't it get a multi-colored paint job?

It was always 10K. The pilot had 12 towers and no revolving doors in the center, FWIW. Uncertain about the "Birthday cake". If they revived it, the maze would be virtual.

No.. but perhaps if it lasted longer, it would have like "Pyramid".

@@MDCSWildcats86 The "birthday cake" wasn't always there. Originally it was a skinny podium that wobbled from side-to-side when the maze runner hit it. I guess they changed it to something more solid to keep it from breaking or malfunctioning.

I guess a mink coat must've been some sort of status symbol among women at that time..... or why would you even wear one? And nowadays.....PETA would want to have a word with you.

PETA wasn't a thing back then, The Price is Right, Hollwood Squares and Let's Make a Deal all gave out minks -which back then were worth more than cars. Monty Hall gave out minks on the revival of Split Second as late as 1986.
