As a kid, this was simply shocking. Who would think super-villains had a soft side?

In case I didn't mention it already, there was a showcase once - I'm pretty sure it is on YouTube - where both contestants were under $100 (which was the Double Showcase limit at the time), but only the contestant who was closer won.

Yep. Here it is.

Wow. That's not even fair.

First lady was under by $30. As long as the second lady wasn't under by $30 or less (fewer, I think is the proper grammatical word here), she'd win both showcases. Oh what'a'ya know, the other lady was under by $29.


I kinda laughed at the showcases though. The first was all this chick stuff and she was all over it. Kitchen stuff and whatnot. The second started with a unicycle and a trampoline. Lol

Serves the loser right, everyone knows you should always pass the first one.wizard would have been in heaven. Moscow and a unicycle.

I was surprised they even offered vacations to Moscow in 1975. I'd hate to have been an American tourist wandering around Moscow with a movie camera during the Cold War.
Wasn't that the plot of a Jackie Gleason movie?

Here you go.... Don't Drink the Water, 1969

The Hollander family's European vacation is interrupted when their plane is forced to land in Vulgaria. The Hollanders leave the plane to take pictures which results in accusations of spying. Chased by Vulgarian soldiers, they take refuge in the American Embassy under the protection of the absent ambassador's hapless son.

Someone just broke the Plinko all time record win. Not as high as I thought it might be. 31500.00

I remember someone winning 40k on plinko. It was one of those prime time special shows where all the prizes are higher.

Price is Right just had 5 $1 spins in row for first time. Gave away $80k just on wheel spins.

I believe the wheel is split into 20 increments.

Don't spend it all in one place, buddy.
