Do you remember "Beat the Clock?"

Ah yes, and oldie but a goodie. Do you remember that one? Any comments about that interesting show?

A really 50's suburbanite Double Dare without the goo. Or something like that! http://www.sitcomsonline.com/ubb/smile.gif

That was it! It was a lot of fun!

One of the all-time classics! Hosted by Bud Collyer, who also hosted the original version of "To Tell The Truth", and was the voice of "Superman" on radio in the 1940s. I seem to recall that there was attempt to bring back an updated version of the show somewhere along the way. Does anyone have any information on this?

There was an attempt about a year ago to bring it back in the form of a real game show almost like "Hot Potato". It was sad, really. It didn't even have a clock!

I doubt we'll see the return of the REAL BTC anytime soon.

I remember the 79-80 celebrity version with Monty Hall. Bleeccch.

My brothers and sisters and I had the home game version -- it was a lot of fun. They included all kinds of balls and foam blocks and coasters which you used to perform the stunts. Boy, I wish we had held on to that game.
