[quote name=\'uncamark\' date=\'Feb 5 2004, 03:52 PM\'] The information on the ticket regarding the taping jogged my memory--it's for a week of shows where they had the show's all-time (or ABC run) champion (whose name is on the ticket but obscured by the autographs, or I'd write the exact name) team up with Elizabeth Montgomery against a new team of celebs every match (it would seem to me that they had gone to the best-two-of-three game format by this time). I seem to also remember that all of the winnings that week went to charity. An interesting little twist, although unless the shows were later in the month it wasn't exactly a sweeps stunt (if they were even doing those back then). [/quote]
