A half-hour panel game show, with a formula similar to Front Page Challenge, Flashback held down a Sunday evening time slot for six years. Instead of having to guess a headline, Flashback’s four panelists (three regulars, one weekly guest) had three minutes to identify a person, object, or fad from the past, and then interview the mystery guest after the quiz was done.
