Celebrity Charades is a game show that originally aired from January to September 1979 as a syndicated series throughout the United States.
Music was provided by Score Productions, and would be recycled for other game shows: a re-arranged version of a commercial cue later became the theme to Mindreaders, hosted by Dick Martin of Rowan & Martin's Laugh-In fame, which in turn, was also the theme for an unsold 1980's pilot called Puzzlers hosted by future Wheel of Fortune star Pat Sajak.
Additionally, a re-arranged version of the main theme with a faster tempo was used during the pricing game Switcheroo on the Tom Kennedy version of The Price Is Right, which was previously used as the theme for an unsold game show pilot called Babble (also hosted by Kennedy) in 1984.
The second (and most recent) version aired five episodes from June 20 to 24, 2005 on the AMC television network in the United States.
