- Keep Circulating the Tapes: Only two full episodes are known to exist on video (the pilot
and #67), along with this bonus round attempt, this opening from before the montage was added (audio only), an ABC promo, the three $5,000 wins seen in the opening montage of #67, and an audio recording of the Grand Finale. - Screwed by the Lawyers: It's likely the change in name between the pilot and series was because Heatter-Quigley had produced a short-lived NBC game called Showdown in 1966.
- Throw It In!: "The Big Falldown" (see the YMMV tab), according to Peck. It likely also explains why the episode survived.
- What Could Have Been: Apparently, Ron Greenberg tried to revive the show in the early 1990s after he had revived The Who, What or Where Game as The Challengers with Dick Clark, but no one was interested. He tried again in the early 2000s- still no takers.
