The song you mentioned is actually called "26 Miles".

Specifically, the concept of "less is more."  It's not necessary to quote an entire, long post to make a brief comment about one small part of it.  It's hard for everyone else to follow your point.

Thanks for your kind words. I am very fortunate to have experienced the game show situations that I did. I am happy to share them with fellow enthusiasts—maybe so that some can vicariously relive them with me. I'll most likely separate them into several threads so this one doesn't get too far out of control!

Yes, please.  I'll look forward to reading more about your experiences.

Too bad about not having the tapes...us collectors are dying for more episodes of shows like Knockout and Celebrity Sweepstakes!  :)

Here's one more little tidbit. If you go to Page O'Clips and type in Celebrity in the Search Clip window, click on the orange rectangle, you will bring up 5 Celebrity Sweepstakes clips. Watch the rightmost clip. After the introductions, there is an audience shot. The lady with short brown hair, white collar and top with horizontal stripes was my wife Debbie.

I know it was reported that Celebrity Sweepstakes was considered for a revival sometime in the '90s.  Do you think a show like that would fly today?  Seeing how most new games are being made these days, it would probably pale in comparison to the original series anyway...

That was me.  Within a period of six months in 2000, the following people got in touch with me:

Jim MacKrell, to correct a bunch of things on the page -- real nice guy;
Burt Sugarman (or a member of his staff), to see if I knew where Ralph Andrews was
Ralph Andrews, to add a couple of notes as well, whereupon I told him that Burt Sugarman was trying to find him

At this point, Hollywood Squares was doing pretty well, so a revival made sense.  Clearly, it doesn't now.
