RIP Mark Driscoll, he passed away over the weekend.

Awesome! Probably the best quality we’ll ever see from the Chuck Henry era.

Thank you for sharing this rare treat, Winkster!

A great episode! Thanks for showing it to us!

I love the set with those rings

I enjoy watching the ‘70s version (Jack Narz was a great host), but this version had a better format in terms of scoring. Very fair in not making points tied to a word’s position. Very interesting second round too. I like it, and it reminds me a lot of the trend that other Goodson game shows had in the late ‘70s and ‘80s... one side vs. another side trying to reach a set score goal with players having the chance to “steal” if their opponent misses. Very interesting set too. I’m guessing the set was designed to look like UFOs in the sky? Would fit the whole “see it” theme of the show.

Thanks, Wink!

R.I.P. Jack Narz

Jack Narz at one time hosted "Beat the Clock" in Montreal--Mark Goodson/Bill Todman were trying to cut costs so they filmed in Canada--Mr. Narz commuted almost weekly from his home in Los Angeles to do the taping--Goodman/Todman were "tight wads" when it came to the budget and wouldn't cover the costs Mr. Narz incurred in commuting--Mr. Narz came to realize that his salary barely covered the costs of his travel and resigned--however Goodman and Todman still hired him to do Concentration a few years later

I think I remember seeing this when I was a small little tyke eating Cream of Wheat. I didn't understand most of the game but I was crazy about the theme song, Chump Change by Quincy Jones, and the set.

Both the Narz and Henry versions were fun to watch.

This is the show that replaced the Bob Eubanks hosted Card Sharks.

The losing horn at 19:34. It was also used for Classic Concentration.

On Now You You See It, this new 1989 version with host Chuck Henry, sure was replacing Card Sharks with host Bob Eubanks on the CBS Daytime lineup, when it premiered on April 3, 1989. And it was only a short lived revival for only 3 and a half months until its series finale on July 14, 1989. And this revival has never been aired in reruns in 30 years in respect for Chuck Henry, and the show slate appeared before the show started. Thank you Wink Martindale for posting and sharing this rare treat, on this premiere broadcast on CBS from 1989.

Thanks Wink and how are you and Sandy doing? Happy Anniversary.

This should've gotten a longer run

If this is brought back here are the f/x that should be used. The Trap Sound (Trivia Trap and TPIR's Pathfinder) for a wrong answer for the most part and to indicate that time is up. A uh/uh buzz for the Champion round used during the 20 seconds element of the game and during the solo game for wrong answers. The lock in sound used on TPIR's Hot Seat for the ring in. TPIR's Double Cross music for the Solo Round and the 60 second countdown. Family Feud's Fast Money countdown music for the countdown in the Champion round when trying to find the remaining answer to a clue. The Zonk horns from the current Let's Make a Deal used in correlation with the Trap Sound in The Solo Round should the clock reach :00. Use Chump Change as the theme, but commission an updated version with an symphonic arrangement like Metropole Orkest did. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/pZN3ltR716rNlJ8.html Or this. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/pLFiZJB8lsu0ZY0.html

Love to see the finale posted:)

This is great yet I don't remember seeing this version on TV.

In the second round, I think the player who found the first word should have had the option to either try and find the remaining words, or to pass and let the other player try to find them.

Interesting game concept.

Chuck Henry did a great job!

The first question was a variation on the one in the "Show me the money" clip on this channel. Hard to write questions that are simultaneously original and common knowledge.

RIP Mark Driscoll

Wonder why Jack Narz wasn't asked to do the 1989 revival? He wasn't doing anything then.

Here in Australia, this was always a kids' show. Granted, the format had some tweaks here, but it's a little head-scratchy seeing adult contestants

...now you see it! I thought Chuck Henry was a good host. Plus, I like this version as well as the original version with Jack Narz.

My dad worked for Boeing!

Other than the scoring in the first round, the first format of the original was better in every way. Even the 70s set was better. Chuck Henry was OK, but he’s no Jack Narz. Can’t believe he couldn’t even tell the champ how much they won for the day.

I hear TPIR dings! Must be a Mark Goodson program.

Is this a later run of the show? I originally saw episodes from the 70s, and they didn't have this way of playing it where you buzz in and earn 100 or 200 points minus 15 points per second.

I could never figure out how the walls behind the contestants could change when they buzzed in. It's not an early version of LCD stuff, is it? Or is it a light turning off? Actually, those rings at the beginning are unique, too, because they look REALLY heavy! They're not being lifted by invisible wires, are they?

I'm probably giving away my age, but how many other people think the male contestant looks like Bill Cullen. Cullen hosted the original 1950's "The Price is Right", and later on in life, "Chain Reaction" and "Blockbusters".

The set was cool. The champion vs. challenger round was a horrible. It was almost better to let the other person win the buzz-in and swoop in to collect the money. Would have been better to allow the person who won the buzz-in to have the option to play or pass. But in general, Now You See It is not a really fun game in this or the Narz version.

i still think he did a fantastic job

Hey, Wink, thanks for sharing this! Now You See It was one of my favorite game shows and very much underrated. I wish it ('89 version) had lasted more than a few months. Also, do you have any other episodes of this program? For months, I have been asking my fellow KZfaq members for episodes that contained particular puzzles, especially those in the second (category) round. So far, they haven't turned up on KZfaq. Here are the puzzles with the categories as best as I remember them: *RAINBOWLOBSTER (things done with a ball) *BETABOOZEBRAIN (striped things; my favorite!) *HISTORYEASTERN (bowling terms; no correct answers) *SQUASHINGLEAMY (kinds of worms; again, no answer matched) *EARMUFFETCHING (nursery rhyme or children's character) *?????????PIPER (Shakespeare characters) I can add that "BETABOOZEBRAIN" was in one of the episodes of the final week in July 1989, but not the very last one.

He passed on tilt but the host didn’t say it

Jeff kinda got dogged on that one buzzer

Never heard of this show

And is Chuck Henry still alive

The semi final was extremely easy.

Interesting with contestant Joanne....the VTR was the day after the infamous Exxon Valdez oil spill.

Joanne kept looking at the host instead of studying the board. Good grief.

very funny wink...

Sorry but don't see anything wrong with Chuck's hosting? Maybe the funky set with weird abundant mix of The Price is Right, Wheel of Fortune, Concentration, Family Feud National Crime Information Center/Pager hit alerts, and talk shows killed the show?

Another of those game shows that KIRO TV in Seattle never aired

Whoa, seeing this is surprising. It's a shame Chuck Henry doesn't think better of his time hosting it, he actually was better than I expected.

They cancelled Pyramid, just to turn around and have Mark Goodson repackage it in NYSI's 2nd round. The '80s were a bad time for Goodson games if you hadn't already established longevity by then.

I never liked this game, but this version is slightly better than the others with the line and position nonsense that slowed the game to a crawl. It still feels so slow to watch. Modern technology could help out this one immensely.
