Pass the Buck is a game show that aired on CBS television's daytime lineup from April 3 to June 30, 1978.
Four contestants competed to give a list of items that fit into a specific category announced at the beginning of each round (e.g., first names with exactly four letters, things that are inflated).
Starting on the bottom and working up, a specific category was given (e.g., reference books, U.S. states) and the contestant had 15 seconds to give as many answers as possible that fit it.
The three eliminated contestants stayed onstage to observe the round, as the winner's performance dictated whether or not they could continue playing.
Pass the Buck aired on CBS at 10:00 AM (9:00 Central), initially for the first three weeks facing reruns of Sanford and Son on NBC, then Card Sharks.
