I used to watch this show when I was a little girl. First off, I must say that it was a fun game show. Also, I don't think I've seen every episode. However, if you ask me, it was still a good show. I remember the show very well. In addition, it was fun to play along and watch. I hope some network brings it back so I can play along and watch again. If that happens, I will be really happy. Before I wrap this up, I'd like to say that I'll always remember this show in my memory forever, even though I haven't seen every episode. Now, in conclusion, if some network ever brings it back, I hope that you catch it one day before it goes off the air for good.

The game play on The $100,000 Name That Tune, though a bit dated today, was actually quite fun to watch. Melody Roulette (10 points), the first of the front games, was played for cash--up to $2,000 cash by the time the run was finished. Tune Topics (10 points) was typically played for a VCR. But Bid-A-Note (20 points) was most tense, as the contestants had to apply some strategy in order to win. The survivor of the front games went on the play the Golden Medley, a chance to guess 7 tunes in 30 seconds. Winning the Golden Medley meant returning for the monthly Tournament of Champions. And that's where The $100,000 Name That Tune got really exciting.
During the tournament, only Melody Roulette involved any prizes, and that was the cash load-out of the normal game. Prizes weren't given for Tune Topics and Bid-A-Note during the tournament. But the Golden Medley, instead of being a one-player final, pitted two contestants against each other, to see how many tunes they could name between them in 30 seconds. The winner received 40 points (the value of Melody Roulette, Tune Topics and Bid-A-Note combined), which could set up some interesting playoffs.
The champions on The $100,000 Name That Tune received cash and prizes valued at over $100,000, including a lovely jewel-encrusted necklace, $10,000 in cash, and a new Pontiac Fiero--all three of which were presented during the victory celebration after the championship final. And what a celebration it was! Balloons galore were dropped onto the stage and into the audience, followed by showers of confetti. Although it was only on for one season, The $100,000 Name That Tune has to hold the record for most balloons used on a game show.
