From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Reg Grundy Productions was the American wing of the worldwide television production company Grundy Worldwide, which was founded by Australian television producer Reg Grundy. Reg Grundy Productions was responsible for the production of two highly-successful daytime game shows on NBC during the 1980s: Sale of the Century and Scrabble. The company also produced Time Machine (Similar to The Price Is Right), Bruce Forsyth's Hot Streak, Small Talk and Scattergories. The company also produced re-edited versions of Prisoner and on some markets Neighbours, a highly successful soap out of Australia.
Bill Mason operated the U.S.-based Grundy operation, and was the executive in charge of production for all of the Grundy-based game shows in the States. Former Concentration co-creator Robert Noah was also the driving force behind several of the aforementioned game shows, including Sale and Scrabble.
