#01 is four people who have never been in my kitchen.

I think the themes were "four people who would work for scale and show up to play the game."

#06 Harry Anderson & Jack Coleman & John Ratzenberger & Emma Samms [Cheers Vs. Dynasty]
That's a major stretch.  IMdB says Anderson was on Cheers exactly once during Super Password's run.  ABC vs. NBC seems more appropriate.

#01 is four people who have never been in my kitchen.
I had "St. Elsewhere and the Careers Going Nowhere" on my card.

Bad taste dept.:  I originally had "Ed and the Dead" but scrapped it.

All 21 would work for me.

It actually might not be that much of a stretch, but a stretch nonetheless. I'm think I've seen episodes of Super Password with stars being introduced by shows they starred in years ago.

#20, on paper, looks like it could be the greatest game of Password ever played.

The problem with your argument is that Harry Anderson was on Night Court at the time, part of NBC's dominating Thursday night lineup, and he had the lead role.

#4 just aired. No theme was stated; it was just Sally Struthers and three friends playing for Christian Children's Fund.

#20: PW+ all-star reunion, with the role of Desi Jr. being played by...Carol Channing. 

Must...not...make "Sajak/'Wheel'-an" pun for #7...

Too late; the "pun" is already made.

Does anyone know what were the themes of some of the weeks?

I'm here to help! Numbers 9, 12, 20 and 87 are all Celebrities who secretly practice Voodoo.

Didn't Al Sharpton also appear on a celebrity week?

Well, if it isn't the rude and arrogant person who acted like a jerk towards me in the Sale thread.

Instead of politely pointing out that I misled myself, he acted like a jerk towards me, and not even apologized to me.

In all fairness, you can't play the victim role given the tantrums and threadjacks you've committed here...

I'm sure there weren't any real themes to most of those. Just "Which has-beens can we get to play the game for charity?"

Top tips:

1) we tend to have long memories about this kind of thing.

2) Given your history here you would do well to park the attitude outside by the fire hydrant.

Because you deserved it.

It's not his fault you don't know how to read, Mr. Nissan.

No I did not.

People like you act like you are never capable of making mistakes. At least I realize I make mistakes and that I have a problem.

Step 1 of the processes is learning to own up to one's own mistakes and missteps.  Step 2 is learning how to make fewer of them.  Now that you're happy with your progress on Step 1, move on to Step 2.

If he's happy with his progress on Step One, he's doing it wrong.

I suppose I should be glad I didn't start reading this thread until Page 2.

(OT: I like the new forum default of 15 posts per page instead of 7.)

What problem would that be? And if you know you have a problem, why do you keep committing it, instead of taking a step back and saying "No, I shouldn't post that..."?

You can't repeatedly make questionable posts, then play the victim role when folks get sick of it. You've earned your reputation and mockery that you get here.

Cry me a river, then build a bridge and get over it. If that fails, jump off it.

But what do you do to try to solve the problem?

Vahan, are you going to answer any of the questions, or ignore the comments as usual? If the latter, that is part of the problem.
