As for Private Lessons, I couldn't agree with you less. I was 13 and in the throes of puberty when they flick hit theatres. Phoebe Cates' greatest role, EVER. It is a CRIME that Kevin Kline gets to hit that.

Oh, and given B&E's involvement in PL, it was no accident that TV and theatrical spots for said film used the VO services of Jay Stewart.

Has anyone on the forum ever did any of the following in their younger day, that in hindsight would have paid off in a nice collection to show off nowadays?

2) Ever write in to any of the shows for the free tickets, only to keep them for collecting purposes?

In 1987, I wrote away for Card Sharks tickets, and got four of them. I used one to attend a taping, and kept the other three.

3) Ever write to a host and get a signed reply and/or picture back?

The first one I ever wrote to was Jim Perry, and he was so kind to send me an autographed photo. I've also done the same to Wink Martindale, Peter Tomarken, Bert Convy, and Jeff MacGregor; I received BOTH a written reply AND an autographed photo from the last one. I also got an autograph from Michael Burger when I attended a Match Game taping in 1998.

However, letters to Jim Peck and Chuck Henry resulted in NADA from both!

Cordially,

I'll have to look around my office to see if the paperwork is still there, but it appears that long before I joined my company, they did some surveying for the Family Feud.

Or send a signed centerfold.

I have only the standard signed photos of the Price crew I requested back in '98; got them all except Rod Roddy.

I wrote ahead for "Tattletales" tickets just before my family's California trip in 1983. It's around here somewhere...

(By the way...we never saw "Tattletales", it wasn't taping when we were there. I got to see "Battlestars" instead!)

I have a signed card from Peter Tomarken, Laura Chambers and Steve Day as a thank you for my participation in "Club AM" in December 1994 (my participation was a three-minute live phone call).

Regrets: I have a few ... (sorry). Among the biggest: not saving more of my taped game show episodes in the '80s. We had our first VCR on Christmas 1982, and I *could* have saved some gems from the '80s, but erased over them instead. Hey...tapes were expensive back then, and I was getting ready to go to college...

Really. I don't recall looking at TITLES when I was 13.

Does TITLE rhyme with TRITLE?

There's a Darrell-Hammond-as-Sean-Connery joke in there somewhere.
