This episode, as you probably guessed, spoofs those "big money" game shows that later turned out to often be rigged. When this became known later on, the ratings of non-rigged game shows declined as well. As such, I feel the producers of the rigged series ("The $64,000 Question", "Dotto", "Twenty One", and maybe a couple others) should be impaled inside of a giant puppet wielded by a man wearing purple make-up.

But enough of my rant.

This harmless comedy episode contains some memorable moments. My favourites include the bit with the gangsters, and the unique isolation booths. The song-and-dance number isn't too memorable, though.
