Thats how you playayay Chain Letters!
Such a cool theme tune!
The theme tune was certainly catchy and memorable but I don't know about cool.
Looking at the prize structure of Chain Letters, most people went away with some money unless, of course, you failed to answer a single question correctly. It reiterates my point about game shows being less generous than they once were. I wonder why?

Cannot remember Catchwords at all I'm afraid. I have no idea who Paul Coia is either.

Can't remember the tune!
I have been on telly a few times, but never in a live studio audience.
Often looked at the sites for shows in London. They give the tickets away.
A few years back, I convinced the place I was working at, that a bonding trip to Leeds would be ideal and that we should get tickets for 'The Price is Right'.
Unfortunately Yorkshire TV came back and shared the news that they weren't making any more series.
I have also been 'live from our Newcastle studio' on BBC news.
Unless I made an effort to look for him on google (which I'm not about to), I couldn't tell you what he looked like. I can't remember the theme tune either.
I used to like The Price was Right - the Leslie Crowther version anyway. I was quite young when it aired and didn't really understand the concept of the show but I like some of the games - especially Cliffhanger. Another game I used to like back then was 3, 2, 1. Once again, didn't understand the game at all but I liked Dusty Bin (and used to have a stuffed Dusty Bin toy).
