Somewhere between hosting [[Nickelodeon]]'s ''[[Double Dare (1986 TV Show)|Double Dare]]'' and [[Food Network]]'s ''[[Unwrapped]]'', Marc Summers found time to host this 1989 syndicated [[Game Show]] celebrating all things television.
 
Two teams of three people played, each named after an actual show ("''Get Smart''", "''The A-Team''") or a variation of one ("Bosom Buds", "The M*A*S*Hed 'Taters"). Marc asked a toss-up question worth 50 "Ratings Points", the team whose member correctly answered it then getting a chance to answer a series of three questions ether based on a specific series or on a genre of TV show. Each contestant on the team could only answer one of the three questions, if one incorrectly guessed or nobody buzzed-in, the other team got a chance to steal that question and any others left in the group. [[Once an Episode]], a television celeb rang the doorbell (the set was designed as an abstract living room) and enter to personally ask questions based on his/her show. Sometimes they walked right in, but other times they would enter in character (such as when Isabel Sanford came in delivering some dry cleaning or Norman Fell came in to complain about all the noise).
