"I Love the 80's: 3-D"

[Scott]

VH1 is airing part 3 of their pop-culture anthology series "I Love the 80's" this week, and particular attention should be paid to 1982.  "The New $25,000 Pyramid" is one of the featured subjects.  1982 is currently airing on VH1, with repeats all throughout the week.

EDIT: And, Press Your Luck is featured in '83 at this hour.

EDIT #2: And, on the reality talent competition front, the classic 80's version of Star Search is also featured in '83.  Quite a bit of game show goodness, and we're only 2/5ths into the week.

Chuck Woolery has been a commentator on "80's 3-D" and "80's STRIKES BACK", maybe we'll finally get to see clips of LOVE CONNECTION or SCRABBLE.

The closest thing, so far, is the musical ditty introducing the segment.  The 3-4 second segment is from the original LC open.

It looks like well get to see some LC clips when 1986 rolls around.  According the VH-1.com it mentions something about Chuck trying to pair up couples or something to that effect.

And since it was not a game show, "Circus of the Stars" was featured in the 1981 show... although the specials actually debuted in 1977! It lasted until 1994, and Johnny Gilbert has done the "play-by-play" for most of them.

Don't be surprised if it's brought back as "Circus of the Reality Stars" just like Bravo did recently with "Battle of the Network Reality Stars."

And for you Night Court fans, Harry Anderson is doing the "Guilty or Not Guilty" segments.

ObGS: Alan Thicke is also hosting a segment on this series.  EDIT: It's "Hot Moms."

And then, there's a commercial within that program for Name That Tune, now a DVD game with clips from 1980's videos, which brings to mind VH1's ill-fated take on that from earlier this decade, entitled Name That Video.

Well, as I type this, Indeed there were clips of Love Connection featured on the 1986 one. Chuck Woolery of course doing his trademark "2 and 2" gesture. The segment lasted about 2-3 minutes and it'll make musicman very happy.

What stands out is Chuck in the 1983 installment saying he wouldn't host PYL if he was paid $3 mil a year.

And then saying "...well, maybe $3 mil."

For the LC segments, it had a much, much different opening than the ones that are seen on GSN. For one, the LC logo flashes, and then the announcer or in this clip, Rod talks about the person choosing the date. Also, notice how the hearts are carved a little differently as well as some of the hearts being missing from the right hand side of the set.

Looks like for the third series in a row, there was always a GS segment for 1986.

Chuck was bogus in dissin' PYL, though. But that's just him.

One of the other commentators is Bil Dwyer, host of "Extreme Dodgeball", here identified as a "comedian".

The better GS reference for him: "Dirty Rotten Cheater."

Bill Dwyer WAS credited with DRC, but stopped when the show was cancelled. (Thank goodness!  Too many rip-offs from G-T shows)

It did.  Also the UNSOLVED MYSTERIES and RESCUE 911 segments were to die for! (No pun intended)

What I did not like, was the people talking about the 80's.  Can't those people find ANYTHING good to say about.....ANYTHING?
