    This video collage that I made is from the game show, "Battlestars" that aired on NBC from October 26, 1981 to April 23, 1982.
    The second version called "The New Battlestars" aired on NBC from April 4, 1983 to July 1, 1983.
    The host was Alex Trebek.
    The first theme is the opening theme, the second is the full version, the third is the vamp version. All composed by Mort Garson. If anyone can tell me the theme song, I will be happy to change it.
    The status of both versions of Battlestars is unclear if they are either in full existence or destroyed.

    The Mort Garson-composed theme song was the only one not used with synthesizers, but with a full orchestra of about 10 musicians or so. It would also be the last theme song Garson composed before his death.

    (theme begins)
    From _Nickelodeon GUTS_ and _My Life as a Teenage Robot,_ MOIRA QUIRK!
    From _The Office,_ STEVE CARELL!
    From E!'s _Talk Soup,_ GREG KINNEAR!
    From _Saturday Night Live,_ PETE DAVIDSON!
    Veteran cartoon voice actor TARA STRONG!
    And from _Modern Family,_ ERIC STONESTREET!
    _They..._ are the *New Battlestars!!!*
    And now, here's the man in command... Tom Clark!

    My favorite installment of Battlestars is the NEW Battlestars; where the champion of the front round plays for $10,000 against the stars he/she captured.☺
    On the New Battlestars, it's fun.☺
    In life, moreover, there's a cautionary lesson from the game format:😕
    Be very careful with the stars you capture; for the same stars you capture will challenge you at a time you least expect.😮
    Some challengers, dishearteningly, may make you wish you left them alone.😒

    • @MadMikeSportsYT
      @MadMikeSportsYT Před 8 lety +1

      I have a feeling that Marc Summers would be the better choice since he nearly got the job to host the 1998-2004 Hollywood Squares reboot, but lost out to Tom Bergeron. So, hosting a Squares copycat would be sort of redemption for Summers.

    Alex Trebek was all wrong to host this show. It was more freewheeling than serious. Peter Marshall should have hosted Battlestars. This show did not fit Alex well. He was out of his element with Battlestars. Still, I like Battlestars and it's one of my all-time favorite game shows.
