Game show false memories
JMFabiano:
Here's one, forgot if I mentioned it...
Remembering seeing the original High Rollers format.
It is possible I took what I saw of HR (end of the 1978 run; I started remember things by 1980) and combined it with seeing the original Battlestars later, and believing I saw the Face Lifters bonus round. If that makes sense. Hey, Trebek was on both.

I get this, and honestly, that would have made a lot of people happy. We were there for an early taping during the first summer run, and taking the Hot Seat apparatus off the stage for the Fastest Finger and putting it back on afterward took about twenty minutes each time--and this was for a half-hour episode. It was pretty obvious Regis was not enjoying the delays.

I was a contestant during the first series in August 2000. It took about 90 mutes to tape a 30 minute episode. Regis was clearly anxious. We were told he would stick around, sign autographs, and chat for a little while after the show but he got out of there seconds after saying goodnight.

I hopped as you know. It took thirty minutes to complete my edited intro to tom asking me about myself. The headphones malfunctioned when I was offstage and because someone shouted the show was running long I nearly tripped when I ran out for my board
Unrealtor:
To go back to false memories one had as a viewer, inspired by a thread over on Golden-Road: I would have sworn that Freeze Frame debuted as an electrically operated game without the panel behind the legs to conceal the stagehand (just before the edict that everything be operated manually), but YouTube confirms that it was there from the start.
TimK2003:
ISTR, when watching the July 4th episode of Trebek's first High Rollers incarnation, that doubles did not give you insurance markers in the main match...only in the Bonus Round.
I had thought that insurance markers were always available for any good doubles in both the matches and in the bonus game.
