* WhatCouldHaveBeen: For starters, the Lange era was supposed to get another season, as it started off very good in the ratings; but then ''Series/{{Jeopardy}}'' came along, and the ratings plunged after stations started moving it to bad timeslots. And after that, aside from ''Name that Video'', any attempts to revive the format have gotten stuck in DevelopmentHell. Musician Peter Allen hosted a pilot from [[Series/CatchPhrase Marty Pasetta]] and [[Creator/OrionPictures Orion Television]] in 1990; while that version failed to make it to air, it did spawn a game for the UsefulNotes/PhilipsCDi hosted by [[Series/{{Blackout}} Bob]] [[Series/WheelOfFortune Goen]], and a slightly modified version of it sold in New Zealand as ''Face The Music''. [[Series/TheFreshPrinceOfBelAir Quincy Jones]]-[[Series/MadTV1995 David Salzman]] Entertainment tried in 1996-97 to re-do the show; after their normal producing partner, Creator/WarnerBros, passed up the project, they went to [[Creator/SonyPicturesTelevision Columbia [=TriStar=] Television]] and attemtped to pair it up with a reboot of the CTT-owned ''Series/TreasureHuntUS''; nope. Phil Gurin, who produced the US version of ''Series/TheWeakestLink'', attempted a pilot in 2001; no go. Creator/{{CBS}} (who the 1990 pilot had allegedly been pitched to) shot a primetime-intended pilot in 2006 with [[Series/{{Pyramid}} Donny Osmond]] as host and a [[WhoWantsToBeWhoWantsToBeAMillionaire million-dollar bonus round]]; didn't work. They sold the rights to MTV Networks (who had previously done ''Name that Video'', and had pitched doing pop, classic hits, and country music editions of the show for Creator/{{MTV}}, Creator/{{VH1}}, and Creator/{{CMT}} respectively), and ''they'' sold the rights to Creator/FremantleMedia in 2012; they didn't do anything with it either. In October 2020, the day it began filming, word emerged of a revival being produced for the American market in ''Australia''--later revealed to be for Creator/{{Fox}}'s winter lineup.

** Certain FOX stations aired reruns of the 2021 version in August 2023. These airings were cut down to a half hour, only showing one game. The intros and outros would be edited as needed, either adding a new set of credits or restoring an intro that had been cut when it originally aired. They also added a home viewer contest where scanning a QR code and naming a tune could win the viewer a prize.

** Milton Bradley came out with two editions in the late 1950s (during the original version's run on CBS). The game was actually a reformatted Bingo game, with the names of songs replacing the familiar numbers on players' Bingo cards. The designated emcee played a record (that was included with the game), and the players had to mark their cards with tokens when they recognized the song being played. The first player to get five-in-a-row won. The song selection was a mix of then-recent hits, old standards, folk songs and classical "pops" that would be reasonably familiar to the average late 1950s teen or adult (no rock-and-roll hits were included) but are now mostly obscure for those not knowledgeable about that era of music.
** Imagination Games released a DVD game in 2005 with 1980s tunes, which were familiar to most at the time of release (and still are as of 2021) thanks to frequent nostalgia airplay.
