Luckiest Man in America release set (PYL movie)
Eric Paddon:
I'm really not inclined to see it. I have watched the original episodes so many times and to me the real excitement of the actual moment is something no movie can ever recreate without coming off as phony.

Here in Detroit, our then CBS-TV affiliate, WJBK-TV (Ch. 2), had opted not to carry "$25,000 Pyramid," nor "Child's Play," (and later "PYL") from Sept. 1982 until Sept. 1984... Around mid-September, 1984; WJBK-TV started the post-CBS Morning News hour with "All-New LMAD," followed by "Anything for Money." That was followed by network-fed "Pyramid," and "PYL."
Tomarken welcomed WJBK nationwide, and even brought up the then red-hot Detroit Tigers, who won the WS the following month!

I just found on youtube, the first episode to regularly air in Detroit.
I recalled that Peter Tomarken welcomed WJBK, and mentioned the Tigers, but not until watching this episode today, did I hear that EP Bill Carruthers was born in Detroit, and had worked locally earlier in his career!

Thank you! There are several theaters in my area, but none of them are playing it. I'm not up for driving 45 to 60 minutes, so I'll watch it when it hits streaming.

Walton Goggins will be hosting the May 10th episode of SNL. I'm sure it's mainly due to his role on "The White Lotus," but this role probably didn't hurt.
