Caught in the Act (1975) was an unsold pilot.
Game Format[]
Two contestants competed in a game where they try to catch celebrities who led them to the identity of a person, place or thing.
Main Game[]
Host Peck gave a starting phrase (Ex: Places that are...), and then the correct answer was shown to the celebrities & the home viewers (Ex: ...Restaurant). The celebrities in turn gave outrageous clues about the subject. As soon as a player knows it, he/she can buzz-in. If that player is correct, he/she captured the last celebrity to give a clue. If a contestant captured a celebrity that was already captured by the other contestant, the captured celebrity went over to the buzz-in player. Upon a capture, the player's mark appeared in front of that celebrity (either a bow or an arrow), and that captured celebrity's name appeared in front of the contestant. The first contestant to capture three celebrities won the game.
Bonus Game[]
The winning contestant used the three captured celebrities to play the bonus game. Four answers appeared in front of the players (one for each player), and the players received their answers (also known as "Secrets") via wallets. Each secret links to another. One at a time, each player asked yes or no questions to the next player in line in an attempt to guess that player's secret. Each time a secret was guessed, the contestant won $250. If the team can guess all four answers in 60 seconds, the winning contestant won $1,000; but if they can get all four in 30 seconds, the grand prize was upped to $5,000.
Music[]
Bob Cobert
The main theme was also used in two other Bob Stewart pilots called The Riddlers in 1977 and Punch Lines in 1979, and later used in TV's Funniest Game Show Moments (later TV's Funniest Game Show Moments #2), the ABC special about the wild moments ever to be shown on Goodson-Todman game shows aired in 1984 and 1985 respectively.
