I\'ve been in the audience of Millionaire three times. The second episode of the second run in 1999, an episode from Meredith\'s first season (met up with tvmattscott at this one, who was doing a behind the scenes, perhaps he can verify if it was Regis or Meredith?), and once for Super Millionaire (I think it was Bob-O\'s $1M win, not 100% sure).

Super Millionaire, 2005. Interviewed John Carpenter for it, who was a \'wise man\' for the ep.

2002: Five episodes of Beat the Clock. Have four of them on tape.

2005: Four episodes of It\'s Academic with Mac MacGarry. Really nice guy, he is.

2008: The Aggro Crags of two episodes of My Family\'s Got Guts, and the second rounds of two others. I was on camera very briefly in one episode; that episode ended up not airing in the US.

Also attended a Wheelmobile event just this October, if that counts for anything. Didn\'t get picked to go onstage, but still had a blast.

\"Wheel\" in Nashville (when was that? \'02?) and ... when I was a kid of 9 or 10, a local Chicago show called \"The Letter Game\", which was at WMAQ-TV. Its host was Jim Hutton -- not the actor, but the same guy who had done \"Everything\'s Relative\" a couple of years prior.

I\'ve only been to one TPiR Live showing.

/I need to get out more?

That\'s still one more than me... :-P

Missed out on seeing Wheel when they visited Norfolk in 1995. I think the tickets were awarded via a lottery system...I either never entered or didn\'t get picked. Bummer.

Wheel in Nashville was January 2003, for air in February. I was there for 7 out of the 15 and remember being so excited (as a high schooler at the time) to see the production first hand. It was ELECTRIC when Pat and Vanna stepped on stage for the first show of each session.

Also, for one session, Hershey\'s was a sponsor, and all in the audience walked out with a 1 lb. bag of Kisses.

I did not attend the taping which included the country music celebrities, but the father of my friend was the contestant who missed the solve on the bonus only to find that he had spun the 100K envelope. Oof.

At GSC5, I saw WoF and the first three eps of \"Wait \'Til YOU Have Kids!!\"

Declined an offer to see \"The New Family Challenge\".

The 8-year old version of me saw \"Battlestars\" in 1981 (IIRC, Halloween night). My entire collection of memories is as follows:

1) Thanks to our seats way up in the back and the positioning of equipment, I had no idea the contestants and Alex Trebek were even in the same room as us.

2) I saw Willard Scott.

3) I saw the \"Blockbusters\" board in storage on the NBC studio tour that afternoon.

You\'d think my brain, being exposed to a subject so clearly of interest to itself, would have set aside a little extra RAM for long-term storage here.

Double Dare (Summers) in 1988 at the studios of WHYY in Philadelphia.

In October, 1990; I saw three episodes of Family Feud (w/Ray Combs) taped, and three episodes of To Tell the Truth (w/Lynn Swann).

I\'ve been trying for a long time to see if somebody has the three episodes of TTTT, since my local NBC affiliate didn\'t carry the show, and I know GSN has aired them, but I didn\'t have cable/satellite to watch them myself.

For the record--the panel consisted of Ron Masak, Peggy Cass, Orson Bean, and Polly Bergen.

Pilots:
Caught in the Act - John Gabriel and Jim Peck, host

Never heard of this one, although the Game Show Pilot Light says he was listed as host on the ticket but "apparently he was fired between the ticket printing and the pilot".

Was Gabriel's pilot the same format as the Peck pilot that's been around? And is this the same John Gabriel who tried out for daytime Wheel and by all reports was terrible?
