This is where the short-lived ten-week long series of Blankety Blanks began. Bill is teamed with Anne Meara, and Kathy is paired with William Shatner. Once a player earns three strikes, they're off the show but would leave with any money they've accumulated. Doing so wins the money and forces a strike against their opponent. If they're correct, they could win the value by solving a punned Blankety Blank puzzle. At random, Bill selects a card from a rotating wheel of 100 cards (25 for each player) and scan it, and whoever was selected by the computer would play for an amount of points by selecting a hidden half-phrase (one of 6 choices). Two teams of two, one civilian with one celebrity partner, would see a word puzzle of hidden words that has a keyword clue. On April 21st, 1975, Blankety Blanks with Bill Cullen made its television premiere.
