. 1984-1986 Series: 'It's the game for the uninhibited! Our stars this week Celebrities' names here. Watch their bodies do the talking onnnnnnnn Body Language!

The theme song was Dave Grusin's Working Girl March (from the film Tootsie). The set had green everywhere, including the logo, main doors, and scoreboard. The series repainted the door to blue, and toned down the greens. The teams entered from the doors; in the series, they were already seated when host Tom Kennedy made his entrance. The gameplay in the Pilots was a battle of the sexes (women vs. Men); in the series, it didn't matter.
The puzzleboard (blue, instead of black) was shown before the round began. The scoring system was $100-$200-$300-$400 (not unlike what would eventually be used on ), instead of $100-$100-$250-$250. Apparently, this show was originally supposed to straddle. The bonus round was called '7 Chances', in which the team had to guess both puzzles full of blanks; each had 7 blanks. Guessing one puzzle only resulted in $500, but getting both of them earned $5,000 plus $1,000 per unused chance, a maximum of $10,000.: The show's ticket plug music was remixed as the of the 1985 pilot, then carried over into Classic Concentration.
