Video Vault -- Bullseye, 1981 Episode
Here's an episode of the US game show "Bullseye" from early 1981, hosted by Jim Lange.
"Bullseye" combined elements of two other Barry & Enright games that aired at the time, "Tic Tac Dough" and "The Joker's Wild". It didn't fare nearly as well as the other two, being gone after just one season in the original format and one more in a celebrity format. Part of the problem here was the bonus game, the way it was often drawn out sometimes meant that said bonus game would take more than one segment or be stopped unresolved at the end of the show, both inexcusable. The front game was okay.
As this generic episode opens, champion Pam was about to start the bonus game when time was called. She has $4,200 in cash. After this she faces a rematch with challenger Ron, who was given a do-over on this episode because in the previous match Pam ran the game without giving Ron the chance to answer a single question. What will happen this time?
