And I would've had a hard time on that one. The only other THE MAGNIFICENT __________ I could think of was an LA R&B disk jockey named The Magnificent Montague (one of the \"hey lawdy mama\"-type DJs who would shout encouragement to the singer over the records)--and I know damn well that unless a church group from Watts was in the audience that day, it would not show up on a \"MG\" Audience Match.[/quote]
So, Zach, do you know what the $250 and $500 answers were?
I can think of The Magnificent Seven (which I would guess was the $500 answer); The Magnificent Ambersons, an old Orson Welles movie; and The Magnificent Mile, Chicago's shopping district.

Thanks for sharing that. I very much enjoyed it.
I wish there were more game show rarities online, though. Maybe one day...maybe one day. :)

Great look at what NBC was airing in 1975 for Game Shows, after all 1975 is known also as The Year of The Game Show.

Also on the site is a \"Love in the Afternoon\" promo from the same year, when NBC had FOUR soaps in their block (Days of our Lives, The Doctors, Another World, and its spinoff Somerset) instead of the two they have now (Days and Passions). Funny we'd notice that of those four soaps, only Days has managed to survive for so long.
\"Fun in the Morning\", \"Love in the Afternoon\"...don't get me started about the evening.

$500 was the Magnificent Seven, $250 was I think the Ambersons.
