Distinguishing NBC "Sale" episodes from Syndicated episodes...

Any other full lot wins besides Mort Camens and Barbara Phillips?

Any other full lot wins besides Mort Camens and Barbara Phillips?

They all came on the syndicated edition, and this was only because they made it where you can win the cash jackpot only by winning the lot. The most notable was Tim Holleran\'s lot win, where he won $90,000 on top of his prizes, pushing his total win just shy of $160,000.

EDIT: I am basing this on the shopping era only. I am aware there were a bunch of lot wins during the Winner\'s Board era, but I figured he meant during shopping.

[Bryce L.]

Correct, I meant shopping era, and I would assume there probably would have been more lot wins in the NBC series if you could not have taken the jackpot by itself (like the syndicated show did)

Bryce, do you know what Google is?

[Bryce L.]

Yes. The good thing about here is, you all know what you\'re talking about

[clemon79]

Yes. The good thing about here is, you all know what you\'re talking about

 

And the bad thing is that a lot of people resent you using them as your personal Google.

I say a fine axiom for this sort of thing is \"first one\'s free,\" so Bryce, what can you do for us?

[Vahan_Nisanian]

The change from beige set to gold set in our version was in stark contrast to the Down Under version.

 

Over there, their original beige set was used from 1980 to 1986, and the shopping at the end of the show in their version was used until 1989. However, their second set wasn\'t a gold one. It was more of something like this:

And this is a fan forum, not Gameshowkipedia.

 

Once or twice is okay, but every other post? Some of this stuff you ask, Bryce, is common knowledge on the Interwebz and it would be wise for you to start using them first. I almost miss chrisholland\'s lame stand-up comedian act or musicman\'s blaming of all the world\'s problems on David Letterman.

musicman\'s blaming of all the world\'s problems on David Letterman.

That was out of line for him to do that.

 

/Especially because it\'s really Leno who\'s at fault.

Sometimes there\'s a question where an acquaintance of mine will know the answer outright and I don\'t want to swim through a pile of Google\'s results. The problem I have here is that Bryce seems to do little but ask questions and really hasn\'t built up much equity. Whether it was Rotisserie Jeopardy or asking the bargain values of prizes in the Sale showroom, and now this it just doesn\'t end.

Whether something is \"common knowledge\" or \"on the internet\" is immaterial (even though Wikipedia is never wrong), I would like people to have built up a bankroll by participating in discussions and sharing some of their own knowledge instead of depleting it by asking \"and then what happened?\"

[BrandonFG]

Right. Even though it\'s easy to snark about, sometimes asking outright is easier, esp. with the search function being so clunky (if not non-existent with the new board). That doesn\'t mean ask a hundred questions. Wikipedia is at least a good starting point.

[PYLdude]

I don\'t deny that asking around is usually helpful when you want to find out certain things about certain shows. The good thing is that we\'ve got a lot of people who\'ve done a lot of work behind the scenes (well, maybe not a lot lot, but enough lol). But I\'m not going to ask something that I could easily find out unless I\'ve heard conflicting reports from various sources and want to confirm one way or another through some of our more observant members.

Back to the topic - one other distinction between network and syndicated: the closing full credits were a crawl on network and still frames on syndie.

[SRIV94]

And on that vein, syndie episodes never included the \"videotaped at NBC Studios, Burbank, California\" graphic in the credits.
