Alice Conkright's run in a MySQL database

[SweepingDeveloper]

For those of you who read my previous post on Binge Watching, here's a little bit of the fruit of my labor.  I'm calling it the Game Show Accounting Department.  Yes, the pun is deliberate.

http://www.thesweepingdeveloper.com/accounting_dept.php (New URL to match the color scheme for the rest of the site, can't seem to update the nav bar though.  Hmm...)

I'm still experimenting with it, but enjoy the list of contestants that appeared during Alice Conkright's run on Sale of the Century, as well as the prizes they've won on Sale and other game shows.

Any questions, comments, or suggestions?

Thank you for describing the pun--it went completely over my head. Some time ago I was watching every episode of the nighttime run and got to Michael's run. I made a note of everything he won and when you're on that long and spending up in the gift shop the list can get long. It would be interesting to compare notes of all of the big winners and what they won aside from their backroom bonanza. (I think John won about twenty grand in the front game, for example.)

Very nice work! I do have one addition.

Peter's last name is DeVries. He was also on Tic Tac Dough in 1978; his first name was spelled Pieter there. Safe to say he did a little better on TTD, his final tally there was $124,100. He returned for a 1983 Tournament of Champions, but was eliminated early, winning $1,000 for the Christian Children's Fund.

A couple scattered episodes of his TTD run, including his last episode, are on YouTube.

So she knocked off an early TTD big winner and a Jeopardy big winner along the way? How ya like that.

Thanks for the info!  I'll have to watch them and update the list.

Nice work on the list. Thank you!

[SweepingDeveloper]

No problem.  I should actually thank those who uploaded the shows on YouTube.  That's the next thing I need to work on, citing my sources.

Here's a starter list:

And ironically Alice was a big TTD winner herself with over $50k won under her belt.  I have an article saved from the Tempe newspaper about her run.

FTFY.
