Every Second Counts

Every Second Counts is a television game show that aired in United States syndication from September 17, 1984 to September 1985. The show was produced by Group W Productions in association with Charles Colarusso Productions. Bill Rafferty hosted the series, with Debbie Bartlett as hostess and Johnny Gilbert as announcer. This was Rafferty's first game show; he later hosted Card Sharks for syndication and a revival of Blockbusters for NBC during the 1986-1987 season. Although the series lasted only one season in America, it was far more successful in the United Kingdom, where it ran from 1986 to 1993.
