Well, after you tipped me off, I checked the DVR.  So you get at least partial credit.  :)

I\'m glad you DID beat me to it, or I would have biffed it on the quote. :)


 


I am weirded out by how serious of a tone that sentence came out from Jim (to me, anyway). I would have expected it to be a little lighter and more humorous. I got the opposite vibe.

I could see that.  I think he was trying to do it with humor and it just didn\'t come out the way he intended.  As smooth as he could be, there were times when he could be surprisingly awkward.

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

Yes, Jim even said he was at the end of the question when the third contestant asked why he didn\'t get a chance to guess.


Not sure why I\'m putting this in spoiler tags...


I was always under the impression that contestants had to wait for Jim to start reading again in the Fame Game before they could ring in after a wrong answer, and since there was nothing left to read, the game ended.

On the subject of PYL, one of the two they skipped over in this current lease, #066, turned out to be a trashed episode (meaning it was thrown-out during the original run). The episode was supposed to air on 12/21/1983, but for whatever reason, it didn\'t go as well as they hoped it would, so the decision was made to trash it, bring back the same three contestants, and tape a new episode, #067, to replace it. Kinda like the 2nd-taped episode of The New Price is Right with Bob Barker.

That\'s nothing but speculation.  All we know is episode number #066 was not used.  We don\'t know the reason why.


Not entirely speculation... this came straight from Rick Stern on a Facebook group about the show. Well, the fact that there was a \"burned episode\" to use his words.

He was an associate director on Press Your Luck, as well as on many G-T shows, including Child\'s Play, The Price is Right, and Match Game among others. He was also the announcer on a short-lived ESPN game show by Caruuthers Company called Designated Hitter.


 


In the Big Bucks documentary in 2003, he was the one who said the look on Michael Larson\'s face was similar to that of his then-15-year-old-son who plays video games.

Ah gotcha...I could see that holding some weight then.

That was always my sense--once the Fame Game question was over, if everybody hadn\'t buzzed in, they were SOL.


 


/Now that we\'re a day removed (and 24 years), I think we can remove the spoiler tags.

[quote name=\"gameshowlover87\" post=\"309537\" timestamp=\"1368747858\"]New PDFs have been released, and even though they go up to the end of June, they will be showing #1577, second-to-last episode.[/quote]
I wonder if the single remaining episode will be the 3/24/89 finale, or if that will get picked up in another lease?  If ratings are doing decent, hopefully there will be another lease.

It should be.  Only 64 episodes will have aired by the end of June (GSN is pre-empting it on Memorial Day).  As to whether there\'s another lease, that I can\'t help you with.

I don\'t think they will show the finale.  To Joe and Mary Six-Pack, when the host of the show says it\'s the last show, they believe him.

That being said, they have shown finales before and then restarted with episode 1 (or whatever point in their lease).


 


/Of course, if they show the finale, they\'ll have to cut away 10 minutes before it ends for a meaningless news bulletin.

Confession time:


 


It was Zach Horan who said Mark DeCarlo donated his episode to GSN. Because according to him, the quality wasn\'t that good.

So what? Just because somebody \"donates\" an episode to somebody doesn\'t mean they can air it without consequence.

Post less.
