$ale of the Century to GSN.

The PDFs earlier in this thread stated that ep. #066 of Press Your Luck would be skipped over, but they showed it after all.

 


Maybe snowpeck was right after all, when he said the entire CBS daytime lineup was preempted on 1/2/84.


What do you mean, \"after all\"?? You hardly have any room to criticize ANYONE. A calendar is your friend. Look up January 2, 1984, and it was a MONDAY. When New Year\'s Day falls on a Sunday, the festivities get pushed to a Monday. Daytime shows on CBS were pre-empted for parades and football.

Why wouldn\'t he be?


 


As far as I know, only $otC and FF aired episodes on 1/2/84.

Upon further review, you would be correct! Looking at TV Listings from that day, \"Facts of Life\" reruns and $otC aired from 10-11, followed by the Parade and then bowl games. ABC\'s daytime lineup appeared to run as normal.

Given your sordid history here in just a few years, I find this to be just about the least gracious apology on the Forum, ever.

Jim seems so into the game, his excitement for it is rather contagious. But his jokes before a commercial.... Wow. Especially the recently aired huge MasterCard joke. I wonder if they were his own jokes or some scripted ones.

I really think Jim made the show. The format is great (even with the WBMG) and all but he really adds a lot to it.

I used to get a kick out of his anecdotes, as non-sequitur as they seemed...nice little way to ease a tense round. One I remember involved a film critic who\'d just viewed a particularly bad movie. From Jim: \"The critic said, \'For the first time in my life I actually envied my feet...they were asleep.\' \"


 


What was the MasterCard joke?

The prop department put together a huge MasterCard with an image of Elvis on it.  I don\'t remember the joke, but the audience reaction was dead and whoever was running the McKenzie opted to not add anything.  Perry (like Johnny or Dave when a joke didn\'t work) opted to come back to the gag a couple of times.  Unlike Johnny or Dave, it didn\'t help.


 


Perry can be very witty (evidence found in my sig).  But the MasterCard bit was one of those exceptions.

Was it possible for a player to go negative in the front game or was zero the bottom (as was seen this week)?

Zero was the lowest you could go.

I\'m surprised they didn\'t keep the rule from the original series (purportedly) that if your score went to zero, you were eliminated from the game... of course, that could make for bad television if they end with only one player left and a lot of time to fill

You sure have a knack for answering your own questions, don\'t you.

I\'m guessing they didn\'t keep it because that sounds like a really, really, REALLY stupid rule.

Rejoice! Rejoice! Ah, I\'d better not spoil it.


However, I know Chris Lemon would make great use out of that second instant bargain.


Have a great day.

Rani White was allegedly the only contestant to win all the big prizes during the WBMG era. Does anyone recall when she appeared on the show? Were they among the 6 months of NBC Daytime episodes USA aired?
