Saw this on Fox News Ticker:
Tom Seleck and PAT SAJAK will attend Reagan's Funeral. What?!? No Vanna, No Chuck, No Free Spin?

I'm a little shocked that we can still say Fox News and Pat Sajak in the same sentence!

There was a puzzle on the syndicated Wheel in the mid 1980s that read:
PRESIDENT RONALD REAGAN
This was in the shopping era, and the contestant IIRC decided to buy two new foreign cars with the money he had won!
Brian
100 plus 100 equals 600?
We want some more pro wrestling (STILL) and NASCAR questions!

This puzzle was also on the 12/23/83 NBC daytime episode(Teen week finals)

Have you forgotten his short-lived Fox News chat show already?
No big deal...I did too.

As for other game-show related guests, Merv Griffin and Mike Wallace were at the funeral; apparently both of them were very good friends of Nancy's.

Dear Zach and Brian:
Get out more. Please. There is more to life than knowing what day puzzles aired, and what was bought with the winnings....
Knowing game show history is one thing. This is another.

No no no! They didn't give the complete recap yet! I MUST know if they bought a candy dish on this episode!

You're saying Brian actually knows game show history :)

Don't try to take the focus off you - it's not working.

I think it was Henry Ford who said "I don't know everything, but I surround myself with people who do." If Ford didn't say it, I will.

He's saying you both need to get over yourselves and get out the house.
Well, he might not be saying it, but I am...I swear, both of you act like trolls. And don't give me that stuff about the moderators not allowing trolls, because I'm not trying to hear or read it. You both have troll-like behavior, and even though you both know it's wrong, you continue to do so. Brian, with his mindless attempts to connect anything to a Wheel puzzle, and you with your PJTP. You've both been told to stop by everyone, and you both still continue.
-
Based on the above, would you then consider me a troll too? I won't take offense if you feel that way.

I think it's more like Brian attempts to connect ANYTHING to game shows, no matter how obscure, or anything in the Cincinnati area. We're not all in Cincinnati, and most of the time couldn't give two squats about Cincinnati TV.
I agree with Matt (tvwxman)......I mean, there are SOME of us that can attach years to shows (sometimes exact dates for premieres, cancellations, etc.)...But to recall something like "Plinko was won on the 10/25/83 episode of TPiR for $4,000" - That's truly scary and REALLY bordering on obsession.

I'll just speak for myself here..
No, Adam, I don't think you're a troll. While you may have lots and lots of questions, and at times issues, they all have to do with game shows, and while some of them may be obscure, they're still well on topic.
Not only that, but I don't think you PJTP (post just to post).

Not at all. What you might do may be considered annoying to some, but like Aaron said, it's on-topic, even if that topic is Family Feud most of the time. ;-) Still, that doesn't mean you PJTP; you're just a really curious person. Tell you what: I'd rather have a million Feud questions than a million questions about Hat Putatoe*. :-)
That being said, there are times when you miss the point of some discussions, or what people try to tell you. Just take it as constructive criticism.

Yes, and you should.
More importantly, you should learn from your mistakes here. I doubt you have.

Since I've criticized you in the past, Adam, I should make myself clear as well... no, I don't think you're a troll. To call you a troll would be to imply that you intend to be annoying and/or disruptive, and that you go out of your way to tick people off, sometimes pretending (as Zach does) that you can't control yourself. While I can't read your mind, I don't think that's your goal when you post.
You do have a lot to learn about what constitutes a reasonably appropriate post -- for example, don't take everything you see or hear at face value, don't spread rumors without regard to whether or not they're true, and above all, learn from your mistakes. But that's not the same thing as being a troll; if it were, nearly every newbie would be a troll by definition.
(Memo to Mr. Lemon: I know AOLers *are* in a class by themselves, and if you'd like to elaborate, this is your cue. :-)
