Monopoly

“Monopoly” was a TV game show loosely based on the original board game itself. The series aired on ABC TV on Saturday nights for 12 weeks. Mike Reilly was the Host of the show Charlie O'Donnell was the show’s announcer and the show was created and executive produced by Merv Griffin. This series was a very glitzy, high-tech version of the famous real estate board game.

Three contestants would compete against each other on a large highly illuminated board containing a total of 22 property squares and 18 other various squares. Movement around the board depended on a roll of the dice and the answer to certain trivia questions. Each show was 30 minutes in length and the person who amassed the most by the end of the show would be declared the winner with the possibility of winning as much as $50,000.
