Hey guys, when I was younger in the '80s, my favoreite Nick game show was "Fidners Keepers."  I would give anything to herar the old 30 second search music, and my all time favorite game show music, the 90 second music, for the "room to room romp."  If anyone can help me find it, I would be greatly appreciative

thanks

Brian~

Step 1) Get Nick GAS.
Step 2) Wait until "Fidners" Keepers is on.
Step 3) Watch and listen.  You ain't getting it in the clear unless you're willing to cobble together eight or nine shows worth of music, just to get all the pieces without any sort of host chatter.  And applause free?  Forget about it.
Step 4) Go "Find it!" yourself.

It's amazing that with the proliferation of game show music that nothing has been released for Finder's Keepers or Think Fast. Both great shows with awesome music (as least the versions with Eure & Carrington).

Make the Grade was released some time ago but it wasn't in the clear.
Enjoy lots and lots of backstage TPIR photos and other fun stuff here. And yes, I did park in Syd Vinnedge's parking spot at CBS

Right. Nick GAS's website had a nice cut from the closing of an episode, but it wasn't reposted amongst their 19 revamps of the site.

Don't be so sure.  Just because you don't have certain cues doesn't mean others don't  have them.

Go write to Edd Kalehoff.  He's probably got it stashed somewhere behind Andrea and Alexis' voice-over demos.  :)

"Finders Keepers" is one of those elusive themes.  I know there is someone on this board that might have it, but probably won't give it up for any number of reasons.  I've asked for it a couple of times and have gotten the same response each time.  You'd think it would be out there somewhere given the proliferation of the themes and cues from "Double Dare".

Another one that I KNOW is out there, but the holder cannot give it to anyone due to a personal promise made to the widow of the creator, is the 1979 version of "Let's Make A Deal" from Canada (The disco-type theme).

Who knows, maybe someday, someone will "find" the FK theme package and share it with us.  Same for "Think Fast", and LMAD '79.

Stan Worth did that song right? Would that stop any of his other themes from being released? I know they've been on other sites? Or is it special exception because LMAD was Hatos-Hall?

BTW, I hate doing this...I REALLY do, but technically you're a year off (1980). Sorry, if I didn't do it, Zach would. I'll go to the TTD90 room. :-P

Which was what? Maybe, just maybe, it's possible that they didn't actually have it?

Yep.



Fostergray82, thanks for the correction!  ;-)  At least you were polite about it!

I'm still holding out hope that eventually the closing theme from "Whew" will hit the trade curcuit.  That's still my all-time favorite.  At least we have the complete theme from a show close, but it's not the same...
