In 1993, Merrill Heatter tweaked the concept of his 1985 entry for ABC, All-Star Blitz, and tried selling Hollywood Teasers, which, with the six celebrity grid, also was a reboot of Battlestars, a twice cancelled series for NBC in the 80's. Robb Weller (Entertainment Tonight) was the host.
In the pilot, the panel includes Pamela Anderson (Baywatch), Mayim Bialik (Blossom), Don Rickles, Rita Rudner, Mark Curry (Hangin' With Mr. Cooper), and Ed O'Neill (Married....With Children). Heatter struck a deal with MCA to package the show.
Assuming this was aimed for syndication, it was destined to fail, since Wheel of Fortune & Jeopardy! dominated the ratings.
Rating: B.
