What Might've Been: Hollywood Connection (1977)

 Apparently, Jack Barry didn't really learn anything from reviving Break The Bank and formatting it as a knockoff of a sort of Hollywood Squares.

A year later, Barry replaced the syndicated version of Bank with Hollywood Connection, which, aside from a few tweaks, was a knockoff, again of a sort, of Match Game, with some of the same celebrities who populated Bank as well as Match, such as, in this sampler, Jo Ann Pflug (Mrs. Chuck Woolery), Nipsey Russell, and Jaye P. Morgan (The Gong Show).


Weak sauce.

Rating: B-.
