* FranchiseKiller: Negative reception to the 1990-91 revival killed interest in the show for more than 30 years; no attempts were made to revive it until 2021, and even ''that'' attempt didn't get far. Another attempt for GSN was announced in 2024.

* WhatCouldHaveBeen:
** There would have been a syndicated version no matter what, and it would have aired alongside the CBS version, when production began in June 1978. But when the daytime edition fizzled a month later, production immediately switched over to the syndicated edition. Tapings lasted at CBS Television City (using Studios 43 and 31) from June 1978 to December 1980 (two-thirds into season 3). Production then moved to KCOP-TV for all but the 1984-85 season (there, they were at The Production Group Center, as the KCOP studios were undergoing renovations). The 1990 version taped at Hollywood Center Studios.
** A reboot was planned with an initial announcement in 2021. It got as far as a pilot which got leaked some time after its production (and was taken down almost immediately).
