On the subject of Debbie's episode, Tom mentions this being the 100th gauntlet run. I imagine this puts us to about July of '79?
Thank you. If they don't skip further, we should see Randy Amasia's episodes in the next week or so.
In the second game today, Debbie was on the fifth level with time nearly expired. The answer on the blooper was "film" and as the clock hit zero, she yelled "FILM-LONGSHOT!" They let her play the longshot since she said it as the buzzer went, but since she gave and was credited for the correct answer (it turned to an arrow) wouldn't she have been on the sixth level and thus unable to call a longshot?

Technically, the contestant could choose a second box on Level 5 (by mistake).

Are there Buzzr viewers who get upset when they don't receive the episode of Tattletales that Johnny Olson from 1976 promised them? Is there some issue with the phrase "these CBS stations," even though there are plenty of references within assorted shows to being on CBS or NBC? I don't understand why they're expending the effort to make these edits.Maybe since Buzzr is officially a broadcast network, there's some legalese behind that (but no word on why the plugs from the first 5 Whew episodes or the other shows' plugs weren't cut).

I played it several times, and I'm pretty sure the charger, Annie, answers a blooper on the top level with "wedding ring" just starting her answer before the buzz-buzz for time. The correct answer was "rings." Did they bring her back? Or are my old ears mishearing this?When they came back from commercial, Tom said that she had indeed answered the blooper but not within the two second time limit.

I remember a number of episodes where Tom says the buzzer is 1/2 second after the time expires.
