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!.

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.
"You must be in the lobby at the dentist, 'cause you're watching the Game Show Network!"

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...
