And before he got to retire, he died.

R.I.P., Mr. Clark. Will be quite saddening to ring in 2013 and any subsequent year without Dick Clark at the helm.

Makes me wonder if the ratings will drop starting this New Year's Eve?

Yeah, Streetheart were one of many great Canadian bands back in the day. Now all we have are Canadian crap like Nickelback, Simple Plan, Nelly Furtado, and, oh yeah, Justin Bieber.

Who did the voiceovers for the ABC Saturday morning bumpers in the early 1980s? Sure didn't sound like Dick Clark.

If he wasn't busy enough, he also hosted "The National Music Survey" on the radio back in 1984, as well as "Rock, Roll & Remember"

What date did this episode originally air on CBS?

"ASS", standing alone, is seen a lot in Wheel of Fortune puzzles. It's quite common. Ever hear of a puzzle such as PASSWORD? It was used in the bonus round at least once, and if the P was not called, "ASS" would stand alone. Such letter sequence is not going to stir controversy, otherwise the...

Yeah, I bet Brandi (whose turn came afterwards) was pretty confident and called the right letter to fill in the puzzle and got herself a small amount of money for the puzzle. That contestant who called the N must have been in brain freeze mode - he may have had a lot of money with just one lette...

MBK1997, do you have the early 1984 episode with the Rhine Cruise hit?

Also, do you have other 1986 episodes you could share?

What was the original date of this episode? Must have been late in the run, since Gene Rayburn's and Jon Bauman's faces were used on two of the silhouettes after coming from the commercial break.

R.I.P. Levon Helm, one of the members of The Band.

Seems like "New York" is a very common illegal clue every time "Manhattan" or "Brooklyn" is a password.

It's surprising this show had a longer run than Rafferty's Blockbusters, seeing it aired at 12:30 p.m. ET, yet Rafferty's Blockbusters, a shorter-lived show, aired at 10:30 a.m. ET. It's quite possible that Blockbusters failed due to the success of Eubanks' Card Sharks, but that may have changed...

I think the teleporter used in the 1995 season sort of predicted what was to come for the series - the transition from "Where In The World" to "Where In Time". Bad move on the network's part.

The font used in "YOUTH HOSTEL" is the same font used in the logo for the Price is Right pricing game "Make Your Move".

As for this episode, if any network was to air classic WITWICS in the future, needless to say, this episode would be skipped "for obvious reasons".

And eventually The Price is Right. Either that, or he was TPIR's producer.

Makes me wonder if Bert accidentally blurted the password because he had brain cancer developing in the early stages?

At least one contestant did "legally" win $55,000 on Super Password in 1986, and GSN may likely air that episode since it may fall within the network's limited run of the show.

I wonder if Bert Convy mistakenly uttered the password because he's in the early stages of developing brain cancer?

When the celebrity gave "All-State" as a clue, wasn't that considered an illegal clue? Or is the insurance company really not hyphenated?

I am wondering if this episode aired on WDIV in Detroit at 9:30 a.m. ET back in May 1987?

If my math is correct, taking GSN's practice of skipping Christmas 1985 into consideration, this episode should likely air on GSN sometime in either August or September 2012.

This ending had a copyright date of 1985 possibly because the premiere episode was likely taped prior to Christmas 1985, if I am not mistaken.

GSN actually last aired Rafferty's Blockbusters in 2009, though they only aired the entire month of January 1987 and nothing beyond.

Yeah, I agree. Those clues would be perfect for MTV back in 1985, but not today. MTV no longer lives up to its name today - those clues would be deemed redundant now.

People used to say "I Want My MTV" back then. Today, people are saying "I Don't Want My MTV."

The blonde contestant has the same name as the host of GSN's flop of a show called Love Triangle.

I really enjoyed this talent contest series back in 1986 and 1987. This local talent series from Detroit was one of many across the U.S. that later evolved to - you guessed it - American Idol. Just like Dance Fever evolved to Dancing With The Stars. And I hate both American Idol and Dancing Wi...

Brainy thinks he's smart, but really he was stupid. But still, Brainy really makes me laugh.

Kool & The Gang's sappy ballad "Cherish" couldn't beat this song on the charts! This song is way better than "Cherish", IMO! And I think this is the version that was once banned from Canadian radio.

1986.

BTW, was this song originally recorded by Led Zeppelin?

Hal Linden, in recent years, has been promoting diabetes-related products. His commercials aired during The Price is Right on a regular basis for a while.

Epic fail at 18:05

I really am gonna miss Card Sharks when it leaves the GSN schedule in April. I hope to see some late-1986 to 1989 episodes someday.

Just want to clarify, did this song peak at #10 on Billboard's Hot 100 on May 26, 1984? If it did, did this song remain at #10 into June 1984?

This was Expose's last good song they ever had. I think their sound went downhill after that.

Uh, I thought you informed us that an episode with the cheerleaders aired on the surrounding days (the 16th or the 18th)? And June 17, 1988 was a Friday, btw.

I did block MM1987 even before he caused me trouble. Thanks for the heads-up, David. :)

I don't think the term "sniffing gas" is considered politically correct. How can it be called "sniffing" when their noses were outside the bag?

Correction, it's Ya Kid K.

I remember the Revlon commercial at the very beginning of this clip. Technotronic and Ya Kid Ki sang it, and entered American Top 40 on June 20 that year.

This song is Don Henley's best solo song ever! In fact, I like it way more than any Eagles song ever existed!

I wonder if the Benji & Waldo Fourth of July special "Freedom Is" will ever see the light of day on YouTube?

Plus, NTV in Newfoundland, as far as I know, aired Easter Is for some time (probably one of the oldest shows still airing on NTV these days). Now that NTV has become an HD network, I won...

What was the original airdate of this episode?

I love this song! Makes me wanna travel back in time to an era when music was top-notch, unlike today's crap. Nothing on the radio nowadays unless it has to do with Katy Perry, Lady Gaga, Black Eyed Peas, Adele and Rihanna (though I do like some of Rihanna's stuff, but not all). And don't get ...
