Not with just a hammer, anyway. I want you to be absolutely sure that nothing can be recovered.

Blowtorches are too risky -- might burn the place down*. Besides, Leo LaPorte and Patrick Norton said it was good enough to smash the platter to itty bits, so it must be.

*Which might be a good thing if it's a certain person's residence in a certain city. I think you know what I mean.

Given the material he has access to, I'm inclined to think it's someone on "the inside" rather than a fanb0i who got some 27th-generation VHS airchecks off of WHIZ-TV in Zanesville, Ohio.

LOL, I would like to know the significance of this, as I can currently throw a rock and hit the WHIZ TV Studio where I am sitting right now. I know its a pretty low-grade station when it comes to quality (especially in the newscast). It's just shocking to be scrolling thru this thread and see my local redneck station mentioned.

Whoever is behind this clearly cut and pasted this. I imagine if I tried harder, I'd find other copyright language stolen from other sites. (Is that irony? I'm no longer sure.) This one took me about a minute.

That's why you're the Master of the Obvious.

I picked WHIZ just as a goofy set of call letters, but first did my due diligence and checked to see if there actually is a TV station with those call letters, which naturally there is.

Which brings us to the GSN/Nicktoons co-production ZAP! The All-New Don't WHIZ on the Electric Fence.

Well, I'm still laughing. That's crazy stuff. It stands for "We're Here In Zanesville". And, like I said before, is not the greatest station of all time (NBC afil), but they have picked up some syndicated game shows in the past that nobody else has, and for that I can get past the "amateurness" that they present (I could do better news stories with my camcorder).

And the fact that WHIZ belongs to a "local redneck station" just makes it all the more perfect.

It's pretty bad, Matt (there may be some clips on YouTube, search WHIZ Zanesville).

It could only get more redneck if they hired Jeff Foxworthy as a correspondent.

But, anyway, back on topic.....

Some WHIZ(-TV) clips from the 'Tube

I'm currently on a dial-up connection...but looking from the little snapshots...geesh.

I know the gentleman who owns and operates the site. He is a pro in the entertainment industry, although not primarily in game shows. He's become friendly with a number of producers and composers, and his goal truly is to preserve the music.

I'm supporting the site and its owner, and I ain't just whizzin'.

Took a look around on the website, TRES COOL!

For those who haven't yet, go over to the Alan Thicke Section:

Good News: Thicke Classic unearthed!! (The 2nd Celebrity Sweepstakes Theme -- which by far fit the show better than the first theme)

Bad News: Still no Whew! theme...yet (still hoping to hear that theme in the clear someday).

Good enough for me. That was the endorsement I was lookin' for.

His copy of that Thicke promo album is as far as I know the only known source for those particular tracks (or any of Thicke's for that matter). That same copy was the source for the Wheel and Diamond Head themes on the GSN CD complilation.

I've been looking for this one ever since I saw the show at the MT&R in summer-2003. I distinctly remembered the portion from about :26 in, but since the Stan Worth one was the only one circulating, I wondered was I losing my mind. Then I remembered I lost it LONG before 2003. :-P

Lovin' the site, esp. the Heatter-Quigley classics.

/MMM wasn't that bad.
//Okay, yeah it was.
///Sweet set, tho.
