- Padding: For an hour-long show, some of the rounds are quite drawn out. While some are drawn out in a good way, others (like Cranium and the final reveal) just seem to slow everything to a crawl.
- Spiritual Successor: To the 1964-65 Merrill Heatter–Bob Quigley children's game Shenanigans, hosted by Stubby Kaye and just as heavily sponsored by Milton Bradley. The presence of Operation may or may not be an intentional Call-Back, as it's the only game they share.
- The idea of winning Crazy Cash Cards from various games and inserting them into the Crazy Cash Machine smacked quite a bit of the stunt-era endgame of Break the Bank (1985), while the revised Crazy Cash Machine and the Community Chest took more after the Master Puzzle-era endgame instead.
- The redesigned Sorry! game used from Season 3 onwards kinda seems like Card Sharks, in that you have to flip around giant game cards and hope it's a good one.
