More Concentration!
calliaume:
I didn't realize that the "libraries" awarded as prizes were from Thomas Nelson, which was (and still is) primarily a religious publisher. That's a bit of a surprise; usually game shows stayed away from nonsecular prizes to my knowledge. (Peter Marshall's Backstage With the Original Hollywood Square was published by their general trade imprint Rutledge Hill, and the contract for it may have been signed before Thomas Nelson acquired the imprint.)
Also not sure why it never occurred to me to ask if St. Martin's would want to offer their books as prizes on the show--although by that time Classic Concentration would have been on, and that would have been about 50 books or more.

Tonight's episode suggested a bit more clarity on the intermittent wrinkles like "Call 3."
Seems to me they're just rotating house rules to add some variety and have no negative impact on the at-home play-along factor.
MSTieScott:
I'd like to take a moment to acknowledge the financial contributions of Toni. It's become a matter not of if but when the HOME WAVE will appear among the head starts. I'm going to miss it when it's gone.
Discussion about the second game of the 4/15 episode:
I at first matched the male contestant's answer of "Cash to burn," although I quickly realized that the show was more likely looking for "Money to burn." But still: Is there any good reason the show could justify that "Cash to burn" was a wrong answer?

Yes, here's my feedback: "Cash" is paper currency, the coins are "Change." While overall, both are considered "Money," as they appeared in the rebus, his guess of "cash" refers solely to paper currency, as I see it still does today.
Dbacksfan12:
Where did you find this definition? My searches show that cash is any physical form of tender, while money relates to PayPal transfers and the like.
I remember a similar discussion over "currency" or such many years ago over a FJ answer.
