[quote name=\'zachhoran\' date=\'Nov 27 2003, 07:40 PM\'] I also noticed that Charlie O. talked pretty darn fast in those days. [/quote]
How much would you bet the opening, including Charlie O's lightning-fast (no pun intended) rundown of stars to come "during this and the upcoming weeks", was post-recorded?
J.R.:
Something in my gut told me today that I should tape this years FoF and I'm sure glad I did ! I haven't watched it all yet (Just got back from Turkey with my folks), I can't say I'm disapointed.
The CBS TJW Premiere was AWESOME ! You could tell Jack Barry was happy to finally be accepted back to television and the Bonus Round... was truely a Bonus round. The TJW Tourney later was also good, if not overly maudlin.
Celeb Bullseye ? Eh, I only have two other eps of Bullseye and they're both washed out and bleary, so hearing that super-cool theme was worth it ! Yes, I got a chuckle out of seeing Mr. YOOO WINNNNNNN too.
Right now, I'm up to the 1976 Feud Premiere. Wow, Gene Wood was LOUD back then ! (The ultra-zoom-out was neet too)
So far, I give this year's marathon a A-. I'm lowering the score because the bumpers they've been using are annoying and perdictable. (Food Guy tells a corny joke/bad pun followed by describing a "disgusting" food item)

Did you also catch that Patrick said something about just having done a game show pilot? (I wonder what it was).
I guess he could have been a game show host a lot earlier than he actually was!

That was the premiere? Hm. $50-100-150? And I don't remember that bonus round at all. Would have sworn it was a pilot.
At any rate, I'm kicking myself; I got home a little late and had forgot to tape it. (There didn't seem to be much else in the Feast that I was looking forward to.) That premiere, Gambit's (should it exist) and TPiR would make a lovely recollection of that morning in '72.

[quote name=\'Matt Ottinger\' date=\'Nov 27 2003, 01:26 PM\'] So this press release...
http://biz.yahoo.com/prnews/031121/laf001_1.html
...was a lie? I guess I can see trying to throw fans off the trail, but to release an official press announcement with information you know is wrong seems a mighty peculiar thing to do. Unless you're Enron or something. [/quote]
I figure Yahoo aka Yahell(for those of you who have had bad expierences with Yahoo like I have can relate to that term) isn't the sharpest tool in the drawer, that's why they teamed with SBC to offer DSL(let's not go there, it's an off topic discussion for another board for sure)
Anyways, Bulleseye was COOL COOL COOL! I had never seen an episode of it, just pics and maybe even a video clips somewhere on the 'net before.
Was the Joker's Wild tourney a different one? I don't recall seeing this one ever before. Nice to see the first CBS version of the show, interesting contestant podiums to say the least.
Some of the stuff like the Milton Berle LMAD, Friend of Foe(the one hour of the block I didn't waste my time watching), Lingo, and Greed were kind of a waste IMHO. But, if somebody hasn't seen those eps. before, I am glad they got what they wanted.
Anyways, can't comment on MG yet as I haven't checked my tape yet(couldn't stay awake for it because I hit a Thanksgiving sale at 6am Thursday and was knocked out asleep halfway through Lingo)
