Title: Happy Happy Time
Post by: GS Warehouse on November 02, 2005, 12:06:26 AM
Just like on PTI:

Happy Birthday, TVShowsOnDVD.com, which launched four years ago today.  It was on this site we learned about the upcoming Jeopardy! DVD release (next Tuesday--mark your calendars).

Happy Anniversary, Norma Brown.  On this day in 1978, NBC viewers saw the North Carolinan making her living as a trash collector in Japan become the first, and to date only, Card Sharks contestant to run the table in the Money Cards.

Happy Trails to any thoughts of the Chicago Blackhawks hanging with the big boys of the NHL.  Tonight's 4-1 loss to Detroit capped a rare home-and-home-and-home sweep for the league-leading Red Wings. :-)

Isn't it kind of odd that Norma was the only person to run the table, but she wasn't the biggest Money Cards winner?  Leave it to the "more money" syndrome of 1986!  :)

Being a hockey fan, I'm happy to see the NHL back - but I've never liked the phrase "home-and-home".  Who invented that anyway? ...

And it couldn't have happened to a nicer owner.  :)

Speaking of Norma Brown, I do believe GSN will be rerunning that episode the first weekend in December (if I've counted my eps properly, and we all know how painful that can be).

Doug -- and the countdown to 1600 continues

I remember on the '70s "To Tell the Truth" that whenever Bill Cullen couldn't be on the panel, Garry Moore usually said that "he's at home counting his money".  Is it as painful as that?  :)

How much did he earn for being on that show, I wonder. It was certainly more than scale, wasn't it?
