Moving into a Creator Backlash entry.
* CreatorBacklash: B&E co-founder Dan Enright regretted his decision not to let Jim Peck host, as it led to the resignations of three key staffers on the show who were angry at him for defying Barry's wishes: executive producer Ron Greenberg, producer Gary Cox, and director Richard S. Kline. Greenberg returned to independent producing, Kline formed alongside many other B&E staffers (including Barry's sons Jonathan and Douglas) Kline and Friends, while Cox, after a brief stint with Kline and Friends, went to work for Reg Grundy Productions, the company responsible for Creator/{{NBC}} games ''Series/SaleOfTheCentury'' and ''Series/{{Scrabble}}''.

** Sony Pictures and King World attempted a revival for fall 2007 that was taped in 2006, alongside another game show format called ''Combination Lock'' that had been bounced around since 1996. Both pilots were planned for 2007 debuts, but neither sold- apparently, the NBC O&Os were interested, but the duo got tangled up in red tape and the NBC group ended up choosing ''Series/MervGriffinsCrosswords'' (ironically, the host of that trainwreck, Ty Treadway, hosted one of the pilots of ''Combination Lock''- the other was hosted by Marc Summers, who of course got his start as a page on ''The Joker's Wild'').
