''Blank Check'' wasn't a success — replacing Dennis James' ''[[Name That Tune]]'' on January 6, 1975 in a scheduling shuffle with the popular ''Celebrity Sweepstakes'', it not only had to run just 25 minutes to accommodate the network's five-minute newscast at 12:55 PM, but went up against ''[[Search for Tomorrow]]'' on [[CBS]] and the soon-to-be-canned-but-still-kicking-your-ass ''[[Split Second (TV series)|Split Second]]'' on [[ABC]]. Not even Art or the show's staff considered it more than a dumb-luck guessing game, calling it "Blank Mind". |

''Check'' was canned on July 4 and remained mostly forgotten until 1986, when Barry's business partner Dan Enright (apparently having gained the ''Check'' rights after Barry died in 1984) sued ''[[The Price Is Right]]'' over one of their pricing games — Blank Check, which debuted in 1981. Rather than fight it, ''Price'' removed the game for seven weeks and brought it back as Check Game. |
