There was one particular moment where a list of categories came up at the start of a game, but then they disappeared. Then a different list showed up, and host Jack Barry remarked, \"Those are not the categories.\"
Was this part of an actual episode, or an outtake from a blooper reel (a la the \"Pretty Nipples\" incident from Match Game \'74)?
Game show blooper reels are made from actual episodes. Do the math.
I meant, was it actually seen in an episode of the show, or not?
The \"Pretty Nipples\" incident was not seen in the actual episode.

The \"Pretty Nipples\" incident was not seen in the actual episode.
Twas seen on at least one game show special and/or blooper show.
If I were to make a guess, I would say the TJW blooper mentioned didn\'t make it to air. Although, some oddities that happened in the early CBS days were left in. For example, on more than one occasion Johnny Jacobs had the wrong intro for a contestant on TWO occasions when he was introducing a contestant. Also, there was a time, when they first introduced the \"Three Joker\" format of the bonus round, they had a different set of Jokers for the bonus game (Instead of \"WILD\", The Jokers had \"JOKER\" on the bottom.) Once, they forgot to change the slides, and the contestant, on his first spin, got three JOKERS, and an obvious stop tape happened, leaving Jack to explain that they NEVER had a person spin three jokers on a first spin so the challenger was invited back to play again if the champion answered correctly.

There was also a clip in which it looked like perhaps the slide projector bulb went out, and when they opened the doors behind Jack to reveal the categories, the screen remained dark and Jack was left trying to stall for time talking about how interesting and exciting the categories were and there were five of them, without knowing WHAT the categories were. My guess is they probably relayed the 5 categories via a hastily-written cue card to Jack and then went right into the game.
Also, there was one episode where they showed the five category slides, and then, as the doors were closing, a sixth category - Flags, I think - appeared. A few minutes later, Jack announced that some people may have noticed the sixth category, but it was not part of the game. IIRC, it wasn\'t part of the next game, either.

Dude... that was a bit harsh... dontcha think?
I\'ve seen worse here.

I guess that gives whomever wants to the right to be unnecessarily snarky, huh?
Seriously... this place would be a much better place without the snark and attitude from some members.
Above that, it wasn\'t even factually correct snark. As cited earlier, the Karen Lesko blooper didn\'t come from an episode.

It\'s certainly a topic to be brought up in \"Behind the Scenes\" if you like.
There\'s no need... it\'s already been brought up here.

As have others. As will others.
Corey\'s right though. I know I can be a smartass from time to time, but not every single remark needs to be met with \"smart\" or snarky responses, even if it is for a member with a spotty track record.

We\'re all in charge of curating our experience and bringing up stuff like the idea that maybe we want to be more friendly to the dolts.
I see 3 rules in the ERs that (more or less) say that, Travis:
1. ALL MEMBERS ARE EXPECTED TO CONDUCT THEMSELVES IN A CIVILIZED AND ADULT-LIKE FASHION IN THIS FORUM AND IN ALL DEALINGS WITH OTHER BOARD MEMBERS AND MODERATORS, BOTH PUBLICLY AND PRIVATELY.
3. On-Topic Posts
All posts must be relevant to the topic of television game shows or a directly-related topic. Posts regarding videotape trading transactions between private parties are considered off-topic.
5. Distasteful Posts
Posts deemed to be offensive, in generally bad taste or inflammatory in nature, will subject the author to disciplinary action. Posting messages which are harrassing, insulting, belittling, threatening or derisive to other board member(s), or which contain or incite personal attacks against other board member(s), will be considered grounds for disciplinary action. Posts which are harrassing, insulting, belittling, threatening or derisive to the Executive Producers, or which contain or incite personal attacks against the Executive Producers, or which otherwise undermine an Executive Producer\'s authority, will result in the offending member being banned from the board. A pattern of excessive and gratuitous use of foul language shall constitute grounds for disciplinary action.
Seems to me it\'s all spelled out right there... especially the part in bold on rule #5.
And the rules/regs also say that you can report a post to the moderator and he\'ll take it under advisement.
So... it\'s not up to members to follow the rules as stated in the ERs, it\'s up to members to report those who repeatedly and knowing ignore those rules. Is that what you\'re saying?
It\'s certainly a topic to be brought up in \"Behind the Scenes\" if you like....except that section doesn\'t seem to have made the move to the new site.

GSN aired that episode, and it looked as if they had never considered that could occur. They didn\'t seem to have a rule for it at that time. By mid-1973, if that happened they asked the challenger to play the next game, rather than coming back later. By spring-74, they switched positions so that the challenger spun last.

Thanks, I did. If he wasn\'t logged in, he wouldn\'t be seeing the other forums that he\'s currently posting in, either.
Does the fact that he\'s moderated mean anything to this discussion?

Seriously, Mr. Palmer... you need to bring the attitude back a couple of notches.

Doing a little research/experimentation on if a member with a lower status than just that can see all forums/subforums, point goes to Mr. Lemon.
