Comments

*Very good show. We got to see Janice and Anitra and hear Johnny Olson. Also, 2 of 3 pricing games were won and $9,000 was given away. That's pretty good considering it was only a half hour show episode that first aired 27 years ago.
*They played Give or Keep today... and they didn't show the board prematurely. It baffles me how this game got retired yet Secret X is still around. It can't possibly be just because you could see the board during the IUFB.
*I'm glad they changed the way the prizes are introduced in Any Number. The 3-Digit prize doesn't seem important when Johnny says "A NEW CAR!!!... and a tea service." At least today, the 3-Digit Prize gets some attention before the car is shown.
*Bob RAN on stage as he made his way out of door #2. He sure was energetic back then.
*At the end of Clock Game, as the turnable was turning back around, the second hand on the clock was reset to zero. That was weird.
*Those Item Up For Bids displays looked like they could show six digits on them.
*Looks like things haven't change. Even 20 years ago people passed Showcases offering nothing by furniture.
*So that's why they didn't have Grocery Item plugs during the IUFB back then. They offered them in the Showcase instead!
