Eye Bet

Eye Bet was a Canadian television game show hosted by Jim Perry, which debuted on CTV in September 1972. His announcer, as with most Jim Perry game shows in Canada, was smooth voiced 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.

This game show is more or less 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.

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. The History of Canadian Broadcasting shows the series did air for two full seasons on CTV.
