Hmm, wouldn't mind dropping 10 bucks on that from the clearance section or snagging it at Goodwill. Game itself could be a good time in a way regular Feud home versions just aren't, but it really looks like some primo Card Sharks content in that box.
Was thinking the same. I’ll probably wait for it to reach the shelves at Five Below. My stepdaughter got us all into the Feud game for Switch so they d prolly love this.

According to Ancestry and Find-A-Grave, Julianna Mercer's husband was Henry Gilbert Keith. There's nothing in his obituary to indicate that he was ever a musician though. Johnny Mercer had two sisters, Julianna and Nancy, the latter dying when she was 2 or 3.

A mutual acquaintance on Facebook posted a memory of playing in a band who once accompanied a singer who also hosted a game show. His wife was the sister of songwriter and Capitol Records co-founder Johnny Mercer, and the charts he gave to the band were apparently written by Mercer himself.

Anyone able to identify who this could have been? I did find an obit for Mercer's sister, but no husband was mentioned, and no other info on whether he had any other siblings.

Tubi has added 99 episodes of Tattletales, 91 episodes of Perry Card Sharks, and 177 episodes of Password Plus.

Don't let the thumbnails for "Season 1980" and "Season 1981" of Card Sharks fool you........Still Perry.

I also saw a thumbnail with Trebek and the Double Dare.logo...Turns out it is the Marc Summers DD episodes...

Personally, I enjoy being able to watch the episodes I choose to watch on demand.

Which I acknowledge is the mindset that's contributing to the increased fracturing of viewership patterns that will lead to the demise of creative new television production, which will ultimately result in the obsolescence of my livelihood. But I can't deny it's convenient.

I know some of them made the jump -- Jim Lange, Bob Eubanks, Geoff Edwards, and Wink Martindale spring to mind -- but how about some others you think would have worked (or not) that worked in major markets?

Others?

I thought of a couple

Harry Harrison - the "Morning Mayor" on NYC radio for many years. Worked at WMCA, WABC and CBS FM. Always sounded upbeat and came across as sincere and friendly. He might have worked out.

Casey Kasem - nationally known for American Top 40. Familiar voice on commercials and cartoons (Shaggy on "Scooby Doo"). Someone posted a pilot he did. You only heard him but I thought he could be a good emcee if given a chance.

Not as exciting as Tubi acquiring a good chunk of the MeTV Toons Library (along with Animaniacs & Pinky & The Brain) starting March 1st, but...still nice!
This has been the case for a few years now, but Tubi and Pluto are everything that made cable awesome 30-40 years ago. I love the mix of classics and obscurities, especially with the movie selection.
