This show, and all of WSMW's other programming, got cancelled in late 1982 when the station's pay-TV movie block expanded to a 24/7 schedule.

This show was notable for its use of the 1972 pop hit Roundabout by the British band Yes, as well as the 1975–1981 animated opening theme to the tune of The Spinners' Rubberband Man. The format was similar to channel 5's Candlepin Bowling. This was one of WSMW's inaugural shows when the station first went on the air. WSMW-TV (channel 27) in Worcester first aired in 1970.
