You were not a house in a rural area unless you had either the Ray Stevens "best of" or his full length movie Ray Stevens Get Serious!.

What's going on?  I was getting Ethel a snow cone.

While I never directly confirmed it with Bob, I've been told the show had several different names during development and that after the Oscars incident and the release of the Stevens hit (I still get nightmares remembering the ubiquitous direct response spots for his "best of " tapes that would turn up overnights on cable networks in the 80s)

I remember begging my mom to buy me the VHS after seeing the commercial so much. She (wisely) declined because the only reason I wanted it was for the "Are you nekkiiiiiid?!" song.

Supermarket Sweep:  No more carts -- all grocery items must be brought to the checkout via the use of a broom.

Good luck with the turkeys...

Tic Tac Dough - all answers must be given to the beat of the theme song, while clapping

Dream House - You cannot be on the show unless you are in a deep REM cycle of sleep.  That would be one way to save a lot on the prize budget!


The Supermarket Sweep idea with the broom!!!  CLASSIC!


Headline Chasers - Members of the staff dress up as giant newspapers and the contestants must chase them around the set throughout the entire episode.


Blank Check - Nobody will ever know what the check writer's numbers are as the pen used has invisible ink, hence BLANK Check.


Catch Phrase - Phrases are written down on cue cards and tossed at the contestants who must catch them wearing oven mitts.

All Pyramid iterations...if you conquer the Winner's Circle, instead of winning cash, you win an all expense paid trip to Egypt to visit the real Great Pyramid.


Pass the Buck - Contestants keep passing a sedated male deer (a buck) until each contestant becomes too exhausted to do so, the last player standing gets to take home the buck as a pet.
