Spoilers Off applies to all YMMV pages, so all spoilers are unmarked. You Have Been Warned!
For the Game Show:
- Adaptation Displacement: Given that the Wink Martindale era hasn't been rerun in many years, it's very unlikely that most people realize Catch 21 is a revival.
- Funny Moments: A couple on Las Vegas Gambit fell out of their chairs after winning a 21.
- Replacement Scrappy: Whitney Carson is considered inferior to Mikki Padilla who was very clearly enjoying her role.
- They Changed It, Now It Sucks!:
- Sometime in 1981 (before May 14), the Bonus Round was changed from the Gambit Board to the "Gambit Galaxy", which was the bonus game from High Rollers. You know, with dice.
- Then again, that wasn't as weird as a 1979 pilot
which not only modified the front game to use word puzzles instead of questions, but added a skee-ball board as the bonus round. At least the Big Numbers being added for Las Vegas made some sense—it fit the whole "Vegas" theme. - Some of the changes on Catch 21 were treated this way as well.
