On many occasions, I have seen a specific game show episode as an adult through GSN or through a game show trade that I remember as a specific episode I watched at age 5 or so in the mid-1970s. Some specific memories that had stayed in my head all those years and I had my memory confirmed were the last Password All-Stars in which I remembered correctly the celeb players, Allen mentioning there were no qualifying games to be played this day and also that the last password they didn\'t get to was \"rhyme\".
I also had exactly one memory of \"Now You See It\" from age five, and it was a moment during the semifinal \"Letter, letter\" portion of the round where the contestant gave the answer \"foot\" and Jack Narz said, \"Yes, foot or feet!\" When I went through all the NYSI episodes the last time GSN aired the whole cycle, I kept waiting for that one moment and there it finally was in a June 1974 episode which confirmed the date of when I\'d seen that fragmentary memory.
And I remember seeing syndie HSQ episodes with Wally Cox airing at least a year after his death in the markets I lived in, in 1974 and GSN aired one episode with an intro I remember where Mr. X was a bird expert so Peter had Wally Cox do a bird call of some kind and then when Peter asked the contestant what that was, the contestant answered, \"That\'s a Wally Cox.\" It was a freaky moment again to see something specific I remembered from age five again for the first time in my early 30s.
Many Match Game 75-76 moments provided similar experiences too, including the Johnny Olson fills in for Gary Burghoff day.
