I used to watch this show a lot in the 80's. Peter Tomarkin was an underrated talent to say the least. I was unaware of this story until I saw this riveting and quite unique documentary on the tube last night. I can't believe CBS was going to screw this guy out of his money! He earned it fair & square and, despite the sad life he lived, deserved every penny! This documentary did not pander to the CBS network which was most refreshing. It was even handed and a must-see for all game show aficionados. 9 out of 10 for sure!
