Sharp, funny and kind-hearted host Geoff Edwards of Treasure Hunt, Jackpot, Shoot For The Stars, Play The Percentages, Starcade, etc. died today at 83.  Sad.

Lotta good childhood memories of Geoff and his various shows. Always seemed like a really nice guy. He'll be missed.

I remember watching PLAY THE PERCENTAGES during a brutal heat wave in the summer of 1980.  All the fans we had in the house were blowing and I needed something to entertain me without going outside.  Geoff was a great host.

I love watching the other game shows back in the late 70's to the 80's but always wanted to be on Starcade R.I.P.  Mr. Edwards. Bluesad

    Earth is visited by a GIANT ANTIMATTER SPACE BUZZARD! Gawk at the amazingly bad bird puppet, or chuckle over the silly dialog. This is one of the greatest b-movies ever made.
