Dream House is an American game show that saw contestants competing to win, as the title of the show indicates, a new house.[1] The show originally premiered in primetime on ABC on March 27, 1968, with a daytime edition premiering on April 1, 1968.[2] The primetime series aired weekly until September 19, 1968, and the daytime series aired daily until January 2, 1970, when it was replaced with All My Children.[1] The daytime series was revived for NBC's daytime schedule and premiered on April 4, 1983, running until June 29, 1984.[1]

The original Dream House was hosted by Mike Darow[1] with Chet Gould announcing.[1] Bob Eubanks hosted the revival series[1] with Johnny Gilbert[1] as announcer. The ABC version was recorded in New York City,[1] while the NBC run was staged at the network's studios in Burbank, California.[1]
