Eye Bet

Eye Bet

"Eye Bet" was a Canadian television game show hosted by Jim Perry, which debuted on CTV in 1971. His announcer, as with most Jim Perry game shows in Canada, was smooth voiced CFTO 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.

This game show is more or less similar to that of an ABC game show, "The Reel Game", hosted by Jack Barry around the same time "Eye Bet" aired in Canada.

According to "TV North", by Peter Kenter, a history of Canadian television, production of "Eye Bet" was cancelled after one season when the costs of licensing the movie clips became prohibitive. Its U.S. counterpart "The Reel Game" was also discontinued after a short run on ABC.
