Mark Goodson's charades obsession continues.

Charades Game Show that ran on CBS from 1984-86 with Tom Kennedy as host in which two celebrity/contestant teams acted out a series of words charade-style with one teammate as the actor and the other as guesser.

The correctly-guessed words were then inserted into a sentence on the gameboard, after which the team had a chance to identify what the sentence was describing for some cash.

$500 won the game and the right to play the bonus round.

This show provides examples of:

• The Announcer: Johnny Olson, in his last series. After his death in late 1985, Gene Wood took over for the rest of the run.
• Bonus Round: Guess up to ten words for $100 each, then three more words for ten times that amount (up to $10,000).
• Bookends: The first and final week of shows each had Vicki Lawrence as the female celebrity.
  • Vicki would host the pilot for a revival of this show in 1990, retitled Body Talk, which had elements from Showoffs as well.
• Downer Ending: During Teen Month in July 1985, Jonathan Ward misreads the word "petal"
