Eye Bet

Eye Bet is a Canadian television game show hosted by Jim Perry, which aired on CTV from 1972 to 1974.[1] Perry's announcer, as with most Jim Perry game shows in Canada, was CFTO-TV weatherman Dave Devall. The object of Eye Bet was for contestants to view old Hollywood movie clips, then answer questions about each clip, testing their skills of observation.[2]

This game show is similar to that of an ABC game show, The Reel Game, hosted and produced by Jack Barry which was a weekly nighttime series that lasted for a little more than three months.

The series was cancelled by CTV in 1974.[3]

According to TV North, a book about the history of Canadian television by Peter Kenter, production of Eye Bet was cancelled when the costs of licensing the movie clips became prohibitive.
