Names The Same is no longer a trope


* NamesTheSame: ...Well, kinda. The earliest episodes were announced by Mark Summers, not to be confused with game show host Mar'''c''' Summers[[note]]Amusingly, Marc's name was misspelled as Mark in the credits of the earliest taped episodes of ''Series/DoubleDare1986''[[/note]].


* HeyItsThatSound: The BigWinSirens used in season 2 were later recycled by several other shows, including fellow Lorimar/WB show ''Series/FunHouse'', and its rival ''[[Series/DoubleDare1986 Double Dare]]'' (for some failed "adult/celebrity" pilots hosted by Caitlyn Jenner), and finally by ''Series/SupermarketSweep'', which Johnny Gilbert also worked on.

Added DiffLines:

* KeepCirculatingTheTapes: Reruns, if any, didn't last very long after the show's run ended. For several years, the only footage floating around on the internet was of Dan and Laureen Chrisafuli's million dollar round from the second season before full episodes started getting uploaded.

Added DiffLines:

* GermansLoveDavidHasselhoff: A British version premiered in 1988 as ''All Clued Up'', and lasted for four seasons (mainly in daytime as a weekly or by-weekly show) through 1992. Surely, it might have lasted longer had Creator/{{ITV}} not ousted TVS (which distributed the series) as its Southern England franchise in favor of Meridian.

"Its" is a possessive determiner. "It's" is a contraction of "it is" and "it has". "Its'" is not even a word!
