A pilot was shot for a revival of "Eye Guess" and was pitched to local stations by syndicator Metromedia for the 1980 season in December 1979. Called "Punch Lines" and also hosted by Bill Cullen, the premise of the game is that eight comedic performers held "punch lines" which would complete statements that the host would read to the two celebrity-contestant teams. As with "Eye Guess", the object was to remember where the correct punch line was located. Similar to the likes of "Match Game" and "Hollywood Squares", The humor came out of the comically mismatched answers and over-the-top line readings given by the performers. Some of the celebrities that were featured in the pilot were Joyce Bulifant, Fred Grandy and Edie McClurg.
