A Game Show produced and hosted by Scott Sternberg, which aired on Nostalgia Channel (now YTA TV). It ran for two seasons, from July 8, 1991 to May 28, 1993. As befitting the channel's name, the show was all about the past, challenging the contestants' knowledge of the previous four decades.Three contestants faced a game board of five categories. Each category had four questions, one for each decade from The '50s to The '80s. The player in control chose a category and a decade, then Scott would ask a relevant question. Buzzing in with the right answer added 10 points to their score, a wrong answer subtracted 10. Hidden behind one question was the "Time Capsule"; picking it meant you got the question unopposed. A right answer won 20 points and a nostalgic knick-knack from the past (such as a Ding Dong School pipe cleaner art set, or an Art Linkletter's House Party board game), a wrong answer incurred no penalty. Round 2 was played the same way, with new categories, a new Time Capsule prize, and all the amounts doubled.The third round was the Decades Round, in which the scores were wiped clean and each player had to give a set number of answers in order to win the game. The leader after Round 2 had to give only four correct answers, the second-place player had to get five right, and the third-place player needed six. Scott would read an event, and contestants had to guess whether it occured in the '50s, '60s, '70s, or '80s. The first contestant to fulfill their question quota won the game and $500.Not exactly the richest game show on television... or the richest show on cable, for that matter... but still an enjoyable slice of kitsch.

Curb-Stomp Battle: Ralph Garman's appearance was this, dominating the main game and easily winning the $500. At one point, you could actually hear one of his opponents ask the other "why are we here?"

Colour-Coded for Your Convenience: The decades were color coded on the board; the '50s were blue, the '60s were magenta, the '70s were green, and the '80s were orange. The categories were color coded as well in season 1note From top to bottom, they were pink, blue, orange, purple, and green, but season 2 recolored them all light blue.

The '50s: In addition to being one of the decades they asked questions about, the set and music cues did their best to evoke the decade.

A Cappella: The music package is done in this style, with the singers attempting to imitate the sound of a 50s doo-wop song.

Bonus Space: The Time Capsule, which awarded a small bonus prize that the contestant would keep regardless of the game's outcome.
