The Compleat "Game Shows Gone Bananas"

[TimK2003]

FWIW, Just saw at Borders last night that the "Game Shows Gone Bananas" box set on sale for $4.95.

/And remember, a fraction of a fraction of the purchase price goes directly into the pocket of one of our esteemed Invisioners.

OT, surely, but were you being sardonic when you misspelled "complete" in the topic?

You may be, Randy. But take consolation (prizes) in the fact that you didn't go directly there first... ;-)

A reference to this, I'd venture to say.

I have this -- way too many Family Feud and Distraction clips for my liking, and the minigames were far from necessary, but some genuinely-rare stuff in there -- such as unsold pilots and Dennis James' Price Is Right, the latter of which sold the whole set for me.

Do you has five bucks? If so, it's well worth buying.

I am mightily impressed.  I thought for sure that Angler was the oldest.

I was reminded of this clip from Bob Harris's YouTube account, and he does describe the incident in his Prisoner of Trebekistan.

More "compleat" fun: the word as used in Walton's title (and others) means "skilled", not "the whole of", as it is usually assumed today.
