Topic drift warning...but those solemn, pretentious Dream Derby promos are getting on my nerves. They betray Masters Syndrome, a dread disease that makes sporting events take themselves way too seriously. Syrupy strings, weeping contestants, misty views of a racetrack.

Wish the promos looked more like Dodgeball. Guys, it's a horserace.

[quote name=\'zachhoran\' date=\'Jan 7 2005, 09:59 AM\']The Perf is saying it'll be a week with jockey Bill(Willie) Shoemaker and his sopuse on it. The week is being shown to coincide with the launch of American Dream Derby next week. It'll be another test to see if the Perf actually gets something right.

Ah. So we'll be hearing Gene Wood telling us to "stay tuned for Give 'N Take".

Not if they reduce the closing to 1/9th size.  :)

Steve is correct.

Also, according to matchgame.org, the other stars for the week will be Tom Bosley (Happy Days) and BernNadette Stanis (Good Times)

They leave the 3-4amET block untouched at the end, so that little annoyance won't pop up for these.

Ah, yes, I'd forgotten Tom and BernNadette were dating at the time. Who's the third couple?

I think others here a copyright on "Line of the Day", but this amused me greatly.

Esther Rolle and Henry Winkler. Word has it that when they lost, Esther threw her purse to the floor and yelled out "DAMN! DAMN! DAMN!"

I saw the show. Tom Bosley appeared with his wife, and BernNadette Stanis appeared with her husband. Hope that clears that up.

I guess they did the couple-swap during a subsequent week. Did you see the way those two were looking at each other?
By the by, I notice that no longer is the 3am show safe from the ranks of the shrunken screen. Actually, there was audio only of Tattletales at the end. You butchers! You murderers!! %&$# you all to @$!%. Great open collar, Bert. You so sexy.

SUPPLEMENTAL INFORMATION: Because of the video trouble in the goodbye segment, that's why the screen was scrunched at the end late Monday night. For late Tuesday and Wednesday, the video was fine at the finish and the ending played out without interference---and the Give-N-Take plug was given.

So that was it? One week of Tattletales as a promo for some horse thing I've never heard of?

Can we get any more tenous of a connection than that?

If it's tenuous enough to show a week of a classic show not currently on the GSN lineup, nothing wrong with that :)
