Title: "Shopper's Casino"
Post by: DoorNumberFour on October 21, 2006, 03:41:33 PM

Can anyone tell me anything about this show?

I guess it ran in the late 80s.

Not sure what network.

It was more of an infomerical than a game show. The show was more akin to "The Telephone Auction."  Any one else remember that turd?

I do. It was on many a channel in the 1980s.

Don't insult turds that way. ;-)

I remember seeing The Telephone Auction on Financial News Network weekend mornings before FNN merged with CNBC.  At times it was hilariously stupid, but more often than not it was just plain stupid.

I believe my parents bought something once off of the Telephone Auction, and it came with a free gift - a digital watch. The digital watch did something I'd never seen digital watches do before or since - it skipped minutes. :)

Actually, I do recall "Telephone Auction" (and not surprisingly, I'm told I have a few gray hairs).  It wasn't on FNN (that I saw).  It was on the long, departed SPN (Satellite Programming Network).
