To go for the $50,000, you have to win the car? The weak sauce associated with the Winner\'s Big Money Game just got weaker.

Can\'t you just sit back and enjoy $otC instead of picking it apart or worrying about something like the color of ties Jim Perry wears?

 


What if the reason those shows don\'t exist is because Jim\'s tie was so bright it burned the film?


 


The tapes were stored in the same NBC closet as the box of latex balloons! ;-)

Speaking of cease to exist, it\'s pathetic how GSN and WorldWinner keep acting like they own the show, by claiming copyright copyright infringement on GSN airings of the show. Either that, or it\'s a troll.


 


Thankfully, I don\'t have sympathy for copyright nazis.

Okay, so I guess federal law doesn\'t gain your sympathy either?

So you\'re saying that GSN doesn\'t have the right to air Sale of the Century?

Even moreso for most of the viewers who had no clue about that rule (which wasn\'t even explained)

The dandy one brought it up earlier in this thread (otherwise I wouldn\'t have remembered the rule).

Granted, we\'re joining in well in midstream (really almost at endstream), but with the rule being in place for a little more than a year it was probably assumed that faithful viewers knew that if you\'re going for the car in the WBMG and don\'t get it, you\'re considered a retired champion right then and there.

Week six: The high for the week was a very nice 255,000 viewers, contrasted with a low of 146,000 viewers. It averages out to be 193,000 viewers for the week, keeping with recent weeks of averaging a little bit better than the week before.


 


Week one average: 132,000 viewers

Week two average: 138,000 viewers

Week three average: 129,000 viewers

Week four average: 184,000 viewers

Week five average: 188,000 viewers

How does that compare with the average of what useta run in that slot? 200k for 6:30 in the morning is quite a lot.


 


/well done viewers, you\'ve found something good and stuck with it. Salute.

When watching today\'s episode (5-16-13), I noticed something peculiar (spoiler tags for those who haven\'t seen the episode yet):


 


Two contestants had answered the third Fame Game wrong, and Jim gave the answer, emphatically saying that that was it for the question...only the third player never got a chance to answer and was somewhat dumbfounded as to why he didn\'t get a chance, especially since he was behind at the time.


 


Thankfully, that player won the game due to an almost flawless speed round, but I was wondering:  was this a mistake, or an editing thing?  If it\'s the former, it seems a bit strange for Jim to make such a mistake and to not have the producers alert him to the fact.

Had the entire question been asked when the second player buzzed in?
