Game Show (1944 - 51)

Quick as a Flash was a popular, high-paced, snappy spark of a quiz show testing contestants' knowledge and reaction speed. Set in five "races" the contestants had to quickly show their expertise in a number of topics; if they answered the question wrong, they were out of the show – quick as a flash.
