Eye Guess

1966-69 NBC Game Show produced by Bob Stewart after leaving Goodson-Todman. Two contestants faced a board of nine windows in a 3 x 3 setup. The windows were opened, with the outer eight (numbered) showing answers, for 15 seconds. Afterward, host Bill Cullen read a question and the players had to find the window the answer was in; 10 points were awarded for a correct pick, and that player kept going until picking a wrong window.

If the player believed that the answer was not among the eight shown, s/he said "Eye Guess" and the center window was revealed - the answer if correct (20 points), a blank space if wrong. The first to reach 100 point s played the Bonus Round.

The following Game Show tropes appear in Eye Guess:

Bonus Round: Three were used.
Bonus Space: "Jack's Pot" (a cash jackpot) was added to the second bonus round sometime after November 8, 1967.
Personnel:
- The Announcer: Don Pardo for the first year, Jack Clark for the rest.
- Game Show Host: The venerable Bill Cullen, a good friend of Stewart.
Zonk: The "STOP!" card in the second and third bonus rounds.

Tropes used in Eye Guess include:

Grand Finale: The very last bonus round had Cullen encouraging the player to keep picking numbers. After the car was won, it was revealed that the STOP! card wasn't even on the board — Bill had it all along.
Real Song Theme Tune: The theme during the first year was "Sugar Lips", by Al Hirt.
Screwed by the Network: Canned by NBC in September 1969 (along with Personality, You Don't Say!, and The Match Game) in a virtual revamp of the daytime lineup.
What Could Have Been: A revival was planned for 1983 as part of a 90-minute block with Chain Reaction and Three On a Match, but was shelved due to lack of station interest.
