=== [[Game Show]] Tropes in use: ===
* [[Bonus Round]]: On the syndicated version. See [[Luck -Based Mission]] below.
* [[Bonus Space]]: The money bags; collecting three of them broke the Bank, which started at $5,000 and increased by $500 (later $250) per game until won. On the Barry version, the Bank was always $10,000 in prizes (including a car).
* [[Game Show Winnings Cap]]: As was ABC's policy, champions retired after winning $20,000 (but were allowed to keep up to $30,000).
Line 18:
* [[Cool Shades]]: Barry wore these because the set was so bright. Similarly, Kennedy had his glasses tinted.
* [[Follow the Leader]]: Suspiciously similar to ''[[The Hollywood Squares]]'' in nature, isn't it?
* [[Luck -Based Mission]]: Any Barry & Enright bonus round is just that; here, pick panelists to win money so you can reach or exceed $2,000 without finding the BUST card, which makes you lose everything.
* [[Tertiary Sexual Characteristics]]: A variant. If the male contestant claimed a square, it got a mustache; if the female one did, it got a set of lips.
