* RealSongThemeTune: In a rare game show example, it's "Chump Change", written by Quincy Jones and Creator/BillCosby. It was originally the theme song to Cosby's short-lived CBS Variety series that aired during the 1972-1973 season, ''The New Bill Cosby Show''. However, for several weeks early in the run of the 70s version, an alternate theme composed by Edd Kalehoff was used (except during the opening, which continued to use "Chump Change"), and although the former theme music was later reinstated, Kalehoff's theme continued to be used as a music cue going into the first break (when the Elimination Round partners switched sides), and would later be used as the closing theme for the 1980s UK and Australian versions.

* KeepCirculatingTheTapes: Currently, 56 out of 75 episodes of the 1989 revival are on the trading circuit. A few them are incomplete, and one show in particular (May 2, 1989) has ''no audio''.
** Adam Nedeff confirmed in a post on the Game Show Forum that the ''real'' reason the show was never rerun was because GSN had no interest in doing so. Before, it was assumed since 1996 that Chuck Henry vetoed it.

* KeepCirculatingTheTapes: Because Chuck Henry will not allow his episodes to re-air, this is the only way to view his version. Currently, 56 out of 75 episodes are on the trading circuit; a few them are incomplete, and one show in particular (May 2, 1989) has ''no audio''.
* OldShame: Chuck Henry refused to let his version air in repeats because he thinks it'll damage his reputation as a news anchorman. That's not to say an incident where [[NeverLiveItDown he got caught in a forest fire while reporting on it and had to be rescued by the Los Angeles City Fire Department]] is helping.
