* [[Short-Lived Big Impact]]: The show only lasted for three seasons, not a particularly impressive run for a [[Game Show]]. But it's long been a cultural icon of [[The Eighties]], and a near-constant fixture on the rerun circuit (first on [[USA Network]], then on [[GSN]]), so even people who weren't around to see it in first-run are still familiar with the show in general.
* [[Vindicated by Cable]]: The show originally ran for only three years, but became immortalized through reruns on USA in [[The Nineties]] and [[Game Show Network]] in [[The Noughties]], resulting in a brief 26-week [[Whammy (TV series)|revival]] and becoming one of the most beloved and well-known games that aren't currently being produced.
* [[What Could Have Been]]:
** As early as January 1985, series creator Bill Carruthers planned a nighttime version of the show for syndication to be distributed by Golden West Television. Didn't work.
