YMMV / Going for Gold

• Americans Hate Tingle: As stated, the pilot originated in the US; it didn't make it because ABC was busy trying to phase game shows out of their daytime lineup.
• Germans Love David Hasselhoff: The French version, Questions pour un champion, debuted in 1988, and still airs to this very day (it also happens to be the version most other licenced versions were based off of).
• They Changed It, Now It Sucks!: The final season of the original run and the revivals removed the pan-European element, which was the main interesting gimmick of the show. (This wasn't the BBC's fault, though- it was NBC's doing, as they bought out Super Channel and attempted to turn it into NBC Europe, which didn't work.)
