How Do You Like Your Eggs?
- How Do You Like Your Eggs?
"How Do You Like Your Eggs?" was one of the first game shows to be created for the Columbus, Ohio-based Warner QUBE system. It was hosted by Bill Cullen with local Columbus broadcaster Tom Weebill as the announcer and street interviewer.
Three pilots were made, but the show didn't sell.
Main game
Two married couples tried to guess the majority from five choices connected to a question, such as "How do you like your eggs?" When the signal was given, the home viewers pressed their buttons on the QUBE console. While votes were counted by the computer, clips of Tom interviewing locals at Columbus' Northland Mall were shown, with the people giving their own opinion to the question. After that, each member of the first team would make their own opinion. If their answers were different, but one of them was correct, they earned one point. If they matched each other's opinion, and that was right, they won two points. Then a new question was asked to the opponents. If, for some reason, one team thought their opponents' opinions wasn't right, they could try and steal one point from the opponents' total. The game would continue to go on and on until one team scored five points and won the game. The losers got consolation prizes, but the winners earned an Atari Super Pong 10 system, and a chance to win an RCA color TV in the "Perfector Round".
Bonus round
The Perfector Round involved one more question, with five choices (an example being "What is your favorite ice cream flavor?"). Once again, the viewers gave their own opinions with the computer counting them. When that was done, the couple now had to place the choices in correct order. After that, Cullen would tell them if there was at least one wrong answer. If so, the couple could switch the order. After that, they couldn't switch again. If all five were in correct order, they won the TV. Otherwise, they earned $10 for each correct placement.
Changes
Later on in the main game, the number of choices were reduced from five to four. Also, in the bonus game, $50 was awarded for each correct placement should it be lost.
