I sorely miss TNN Nashville and this was my favorite show on the network. When school was off, I took over the TV to watch this show along with all the games on the old USA Network and WGN News at Noon from Chicago (on the superstation).

“TNN Nashville” becomes “Paramount Network” as this favorite channel for my show on the network. I like to bring back my old school memories since the 1980’s to the 1990’s!

This aired originally between April 5, 1989(show premiered 4/3/89 and the champ is on her third day here)-April 28, 1989 as the Viewers CHoice awards aired on 4/29/89 on TNN. It's the first month of Top Card's run. The second-fourth seasons had a different Q&A based bonus round and all questions were about music, some country and some not country. Dan Miller who hosted a few other shows on TNN over the years and Paige Brown were the hosts for seasons three and four.

@@sidkrantz9533 Why is that necessary? Gambit allowed for Aces to be 1 or 11. Catch 21 allows for Aces to be 1 or 11 and that's with every player getting a random card to start each round, which can mean a player might win a round with ONE question, if their random card + the question they answered correctly granted an Ace and 10-valued card.

Yep this is predecessor to the show. It kind of followed the format of Gambit with a dealer and the cards but they had categories to pick from vs. just using the dealer.
