- TriviaJames Dean, whose first TV appearances were in Goodson-Todman-produced anthology dramas, was also employed by G-T as a stunt tester for this program. He proved so agile at completing the stunts that his results couldn't be used to set time limits for contestants to complete them. So he was reluctantly let go.
Featured review
Wonderful show
A truly wonderful 50's era show. In addition to Sylvania, this show was also sponsored by Fresh deodorant makers and also by Hazel Bishop, a cosmetics line manufacturer. When the husband/wife teams won the jackpot prize, Sylvania gave away TV sets as prizes while Fresh gave away a wide variety of things such as washer/dryers, refrigerators, or Air Conditionors. The stunts always had an element of humor to them and at times did seem rather difficult, but more often than not teams were able to complete them. There was also a super bonus round which was attempted after the $200 clock had been beaten. This involved a very difficult stunt. For every unsuccessful attempt, $1,000 was added to the prize bonus. The most difficult stunt that I saw had the husband wearing a football helmet with a small plate turned upside down attached to the top of the helmet. The husband then had to balance a wooden dowel attached to a fishing pole on top of the plate. This stunt reached the mid $60 thousands figure before it was successfully completed.
