Is Concentration coming back?

Concentration ended on August 4, 1959, on NBC. The show was a game show that originally premiered on August 25, 1958, and had a run of one season before concluding.

It was based on a children's matching memory game called Concentration. The game involved two contestants, including a returning champion, who competed to uncover a hidden rebus beneath a board of 30 numbered squares. The board concealed prizes, joke items, wild cards, and action cards. Players took turns calling out pairs of numbers, attempting to find matches that would earn them prizes or allow them to perform actions. The show was created by producers Jack Barry and Dan Enright, and after some production changes, NBC took over the show’s production.

The series was a classic game show from the late 1950s, featuring a simple yet engaging premise. It was a test of memory and strategy, with contestants trying to match pairs to win prizes. The show was hosted by Jack Narz and featured announcers such as Gene Wood, Johnny Olson, and others. It aired for a total of 260 episodes in its first season and had several subsequent seasons with varying episode counts.
