[This long-running game show was hosted at various times
by Hugh Downs (later co-host of ABC's "20-20" newsmagazine),
by Jack Barry (co-producer of Barry-Enright Productions) which
became infamous in the Quiz Show scandals surrounding "21"
dramatized in the motion picture "Quiz Show" in the 1990s);
The ubiquitous Jack Narz hosted the syndicated revival by
Goodson-Todman Productions in the 1970s; and the 1987
Goodson-Todman revival called "Classic Concentration"
was hosted by Alex Trebek;
The game of "Concentration" was based on the common picture
puzzle which often appeared in newspapers of the 1930s and
1940s, known as a "rebus" -- which represents a common phrase
or colloquial saying]
