I hope a full episode surfaces like it did with Second Chance. Jim Lange is masterful as usual and his enthusiasm is infectious.

They often had issues with the spinners. I recall a few times when contestants had a chance to play again due to malfunctioning spinners. The show went off the air around September 1975.

Although it was a decent game in my view, I didn't really like the fact that this replaced "The Joker's Wild", but after this, we got something worse in "Give & Take". After that, "The Price is Right", my all-time favourite, expanded to one hour.

When this show aired, it was on CBS at 10am. It only lasted three months though. It competed in a time slot opposite "Celebrity Sweepstakes" on NBC. When this show was cancelled, it was replaced the following Monday by "Give-n-Take", which was also hosted by Jim Lange.

The original pilots for "Spin-Off" were taped on Sunday, April 13, 1975 at CBS Broadcast Center's Studio 41 on West 57th Street in Manhattan. The host was Jim Lange, but its announcer was Chet Gould. When the series was picked up by CBS in June 1975, as a replacement for "The Joker's Wild", production instead was done at CBS Television City in Los Angeles. Lange still hosted, but Johnny Jacobs became its announcer instead.

Looks like a pitchfilm for a syndicated run after it was cancelled... maybe this has something to do with why it was found in the archives at WCBS New York when Joker's Wild was. It seems based on what I've read on other websites that Nicholson-Muir did try to mount at least one syndicated run sometime between 1975 and 1980. I would love to see more of this show finally surface one day, or even a revival somehow. It's a lot of fun just to watch this clip.

No episodes are available to the public that I know of, but unline most of its contemporaries the show itself is apparently still intact. Its 50 episodes were found when the CBS Joker's Wild was in the early 2000s. EDIT: I was mistaken to a point, there is at least one episode available but it is audio-only. I do not know of any video episodes.
