''Break the Bank'' is a game show created by Richard S. Kline. It aired in syndication from September 16, 1985 to May 23, 1986, with repeats airing until September 12. It was not related to two previous shows by the same name. The series debuted with Gene Rayburn as host, with Joe Farago taking over in December 1985. Kandace Kuehl was the co-host for the first three shows and was then replaced afterward with 1983 Miss USA winner Julie Hayek. Voice-over artist Michael Hanks was the announcer. ''Break the Bank'' was the first game show produced by Kline's production company Kline & Friends. Kline and many of the show's production staff members had previously worked for Barry & Enright Productions, which had seen significant changes made after company founder Jack Barry died in 1984; Kline and his staff broke away from the company in protest of changes made by co-owner Dan Enright shortly thereafter. ==Format #1== Two couples competed for seconds to use in the bonus round. Up to six questions were asked, and each question was worth a corresponding amount of seconds. Correctly answering the first question was worth five seconds, and the couple that answered the question correctly was given a choice to guess the puzzle, or to keep playing to try to add more seconds. If the couple chose to guess the puzzle and gave an incorrect guess, they were locked out of the next question. If the couple chose not to guess the puzzle, the process continued with questions two through six, with correct responses worth 10, 20, 40, 80 and 100 seconds each. If the puzzle was not solved after the six questions were asked, one final question was asked with the answer being the solution to the puzzle. The first couple to solve two puzzles won the game. If the game ended in a tie, one last round was played without questions. Each clue to the puzzle was revealed one at a time until one couple buzzed in to solve it. The first couple to solve that puzzle won the game plus an extra 30 seconds. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Break the Bank (1985 game show)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
