again. With Kline running his own company, Break the Bank (completely unrelated to the earlier game) premiered in the fall of 1985, with Gene Rayburn as host. By year's end, Rayburn was let go due to conflict with Kline over the show's format and replaced by Joe Farago. After that, Kline tried again with Strike it Rich (unrelated to the 1950s game show) in the fall of 1986, with Joe Garagiola as host. That show did not see success either, but was exported to Britain as Strike It Lucky, which ran until 1994; it was revived in 1996, now as Michael Barrymore's Strike it Rich (to coincide with far better prizes) and ran until 1999; Australian and South African versions also ran. After that show ended, he teamed up with Bert Convy, Burt Reynolds, and Buena Vista Television to produce Win, Lose or Draw beginning in 1987. This series had concurrent runs on both NBC and in syndication, with Vicki Lawrence hosting the network version and Convy hosting the syndicated series. Win, Lose or Draw ended its run in 1989 on NBC and in 1990 in syndication. Convy left the syndicated series at the beginning of its final season to preside over another co-production with Kline, 3rd Degree, and Robb Weller took over for him at Win, Lose or Draw. In March 1990, Kline and Friends began production of their only non-game show project, The Marsha Warfield Show for NBC. Later that same year in September, the company put together another revival of The Joker's Wild, which was hosted by Pat Finn; this version lasted a single season in syndication due to an overcrowded market, as well as several changes to the format which weren't successful. In 1994, two years after Enright's death, Kline produced and directed the children's game show, Masters of the Maze, hosted by J. D. Roth, then Mario Lopez, for The Family Channel. The show used innovative technology for the time to create the titular maze, including chroma-key and CGI animation. 1997 saw Kline produce a television version of the board game Pictionary, hosted by Alan Thicke, which used a nearly identical format to that of Win, Lose or Draw a decade earlier. This was Kline and Friends' last game show. Death Kline died on March 21, 2020, at the age of 79 at his home in Connecticut following a long illness. References External links American
