Split Second (1972)
Great Show

This one was one of my favorites, along with the same era's Password and Jeopardy. Tom Kennedy was excellent as host, and the pace of the show was amazing.
I remember well when the show was canceled. ABC was promoting "It's a brand new day on ABC," as they expanded their soap lineup and removed both Split Second and Password from the schedule. On Split Second's last show, they did the normal opening but ended with "... as Split Second splits!."
My understanding is that ABC erased most of the videotapes of this show. The only one I know of that is still floating around is the actual last show... so unless someone finds the old ones in a vault or something else, Game Show Network won't be showing them.
