Reg Grundy Productions

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" (a history-themed game show similar in format to "The Price Is Right") and "Scattergories" for NBC, "Bruce Forsyth's Hot Streak" for ABC and "Small Talk" for The Family Channel. Of the game shows Grundy produced in America only "Sale" and the original "Scrabble" were hits; "Time Machine" lasted 16 weeks, "Bruce Forsyth's Hot Streak", and "Small Talk" had 13 week runs each and "Scattergories" and the revival of "Scrabble" were cancelled after five months.

The company also produced re-edited versions of two highly successful soaps out of Australia, "Prisoner" and on some markets "Neighbours".

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 "Time", "Sale" and "Scrabble".

Reg Grundy Productions was based in West Los Angeles near Century City, and was responsible for helping start the career of television producer and talent agent entrepreneur Sean Perry, whose father, Jim Perry hosted "Sale of the Century". The company is now a part of Fremantle Media Inc. along with Mark Goodson Productions.
