All-Star Blitz: Story, Cast and Series Facts

Story and premise

Merrill Heatter made a game show, not that much different from The Hollywood Squares or Hot Numbers, with host Peter Marshall. Two contestants and four panelists play together to match a word puzzle of six screens and lighted star shapes. A correct match to the question awarded the stars. After each corner of a screen was lit, the screen revealed that part of the phrase. A bonus round, Blitz Bonanza, did something similar but with the lights matched with a wheel to spin. The winning contestant must provide a correct answer from the clues given.
