One of the (several) annoying habits Jim Lange had on Name That Tune is he would often tell a departing contestant to "come and see us again" ... like, what, if you're in the neighborhood, stop by? Even if they came back in the audience, they aren't seeing them again. But, I (naïvely) thought at the time he was saying there was a path back for contestants, and not that it was a throwaway chit-chat line.
(That and the "we have lovely prizes backstage," as if the contestant gets to wander through the consolation prize gift shop before exiting onto Sunset Blvd.)
