2* CreatorBacklash: Cullen once said that he thought the show "just didn't work".
3* KeepCirculatingTheTapes: Slightly complicated.
4** Only two episodes are known to exist in full on video, those being May 5 (the {{pilot}}) and August 9. The latter was seen in a network promo from around this period, and Creator/{{GSN}} has aired it. Interestingly, said episode originally didn't air as scheduled; it was preempted for news coverage of UsefulNotes/RichardNixon's resignation.
5** TV Party's "[[http://www.tvparty.com/games.html Game Shows '74]]" page has audio clips from an episode with the later Sudden-Death Showdown format.
6** The October 15 show is held on audio tape by Archival Television Audio, Inc. (This and the above may be the same episode, but we're not certain.)
7** The first four minutes from [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ADfewPn16p0 December 26]] surfaced on video in February 2010.
8* NoBudget: See the main page. Winnings generally hovered around $2,500 in the original format, and subsequent changes knocked it down even further.
9* ScrewedByTheNetwork: [[Series/WinningStreak A complicated game boasting a lot but typically played for less than $10,000]] went up against [[Series/{{Gambit}} a simple-yet-popular]] TabletopGame/{{blackjack}}[[Series/{{Gambit}} -based game typically played for cars and lots of prizes that were usually won]]. Guess what happened?
