Line 1:
{{work|wppage=Battlestars (game show)}}
[[Game Show]] created by [[Merrill Heatter]] of ''[[The Hollywood Squares]]'' fame. ''Battlestars'' lasted for six months on [[NBC]] from 1981-821981–82, then [[Uncanceled]] in 1983 for a few more months.
 
''Battlestars'' bore a striking resemblance to the ''Squares'', except that it featured only six celebrities who sat in triangles. Each celebrity was surrounded by three numbers. A randomizer selected one of the numbers, which corresponded to whichever celebrity would be asked the question. Also unlike ''Squares'', the questions offered two possible answers. If the same player "captured" all three numbers surrounding a star, he or she then had to "capture" two more in a similar fashion to win $500 and the game.
Line 9:
** The second used the three celebrities the winner captured. Each was asked a multiple-choice question with three answers given, and the contestant could choose to agree or disagree with each. $500 was awarded for each right answer, and a [[Progressive Jackpot]] if all were correct.
* Personnel:
** [[The Announcer]]: Rod Roddy (1981-821981–82) and Charlie Tuna (1983). Roddy would later become known as the announcer on ''[[Press Your Luck]]'' and ''[[The Price Is Right]]'', and Tuna as the announcer on ''[[Scrabble (TV series)|Scrabble]]'' following Jay Stewart's departure from that series in 1986.
** [[Game Show Host]]: Alex Trebek, then known primarily for ''[[High Rollers]]''.
** [[Studio Audience]]
