I might be misreading, but let’s say I go into the Knockoff with $75. Lowest-level prize (say a stainless steel kitchen) is $300. I get five right and then get three strikes, so do I end up with $325 to buy the kitchen or do I stay at $75?

You'd end up with $75 in that case. My initial thought was to use the sale prices from the 80s version with the lowest level prize at $85, so someone who struck out would still likely be able to afford it in that case. If they couldn't I suppose you could multiply their score by some amount (say, 50) as a consolation.

I think the only thing I recall seeing was a brief plug for the show which slipped thru once on one of those stations, otherwise I had no idea it even existed.

That area wasn't kind to BL at all! Went to the old newspaper listings and found this curious listing - May 14, 1985, 10 (Rochester's CBS station) carried Hour Magazine at 5pm, who had Tom Kennedy as a guest. The listing mentioned Body Language. I can't help wondering how many Rochester viewers wondered what that show even was!

Well, 9:30's kind of an easy-to-miss slot. WCAU-10 (also then CBS) did the same thing. Thought I remembered from old TV Guides, but I verified with old Baltimore Sun TV listings.

I must have been working or, more likely in those days, looking for work or just sleeping late
