it's been 21 years since (Classic) Concentration went of the air in 1991 in case you don't not what Concentration is two contestants are showned a board of basically 25 squares (30 in the original series) and the have to call out two different numbered Squares to match a prizes from the board if it did match then that prizes goes to their column and in order to claim their prizes they have to solve a rebus puzzles in which it involves a person, place,phrase, thing, etc. but if it didn't match then their opponent would take a shot at it the first to win the best two out of three matches win the game and goes to the bonus round where their showned a board of 15 cars but they'll have only 35 seconds to match 7 out of 8 cars (the 8th car was a decoy BTW) if he/she can do that successfully wihtin the time limit then the last car that he/she match then he/she keeps no matter what.

so i got to ask you folks does Concentration need to be revived? yes or no

I think Concentration deserves to be revived sometime in the 21st century. It's a classic game show format that has been dormant for years and with the right retooling, it can be a viable addition to any network's lineup.

Yes.I think it should be revived.If done correctly,with the same format as the original classic 1958-1973 NBC series,whoever put ut out in syndication(nerworks wouldn't want it),and not updated at all.would have a smash hit on their hands.
