 As far as I recall, the RAH-RAH SHOW was pure variety--however many GONG acts popped up (and the younguns got to hear Jaye P. Morgan do what she was primarily noted for before GONG--that of course would be singing).  Chuckie kept the brisk pace going with his usual botched intros (and every so often faking the audience out with one of his trademark fake claps).

Jay Temple:
The earliest I'm sure of is Concentration, 1969.  I also have an early recollection of TTTT, but I'm not sure how far back.

Robert Hutchinson:
The first was either Wheel of Fortune (syndicated) or The Joker's Wild. I have much better memories of the former, but I spent years trying to figure out what that game with the slot machine and the guy with glasses (Bill Cullen) was, so it must have been implanted into my memory pretty early.

uncamark:
My first memory has to be the duckbill wheel on \"You Bet Your Life\" sometime when I was 4 or 5--either that or \"What's in the House?\" on \"Art Linkletter's House Party.\"  I vaguely remember \"The $64,000 Question.\"

Gus:
I can't remember exactly which one I saw first, but I remember watching Price, Wheel, Jeopardy, and Classic Concentration from a very young age.

Speaking of CC, I seem to recall that once during Halloween week, the contestants and Alex dressed in halloween-type costumes, they used the Ghostbusters theme, and the win markers were pumpkins instead of what they usually were, and I remember being scared out of my wits about it, because anything that wan't \"normal\" freaked me out. Am I right, or has my memory gone awry?
