Supermarket Sweep 1994-1995 2000-2002 Theme

[jnadle1]

I remember the intro going something like this:

"What's the show that lets you run wild through a supermarket? (SUPERMARKET SWEEP!) What's the show where you can grab everything you can get your hands on? (SUPERMARKET SWEEP!) And what's the show that hides $5,000 and then helps you find it? (SUPERMARKET SWEEP!!) Well, we've just hidden another $5,000, so come and get it!"

[Bien1986]

i'd literally go crazi if the grocery store played this over the speakers while i was shopping

[mmonicque]

I loved this show when I was a kid, every kid in my class liked cartoons, I liked shows like this

[IceManNJD]

It was actually 1993-1995 and 2000-2002

[tazcatsdad]

God, I MISS this show! How I wish it -- and other really good game shows would make a comeback.

[fluteplaya22593]

I miss this show

[Hirosky015]

loved watching this show

[SimuLord]

Every time I hear this, I think of people throwing canned hams into shopping carts...and I'm subsequently reminded of an old David Letterman quote: "You'll come for the entertainment, but you'll stay for the canned ham giveaway."

[rdarrell34]

I love this show I agree wit the guy n said this show needs a comeback. This was the show. This is were we gt our food lol. At the supermarket.

[1991ArielFan]

Who's Got The Hefty Trash Bags? Ok, You're On! Who's Got The Ocean Spray Cranberry Juice? Ok, You're On And Who's Got The Double Stuf Oreos? Ok, And You're On! It's Supermarket Sweep And Now Here's Our Host, David Ruprecht!

[blozier2006]

now, for the $5,000: Does anyone have the FIRST Ruprecht era theme song?

[ChihuahuaboyDH]

"Supermarket Sweep is an Al Howard Production!".

[ChihuahuaboyDH]

"Who's got the Bisquick Pancake Mix? OK, you're on! Who's got the Mop-&-Glo Floor Cleaner? OK, you're on! And who's got the Tombstone Frozen Pizza? OK, you're on!".

Great show! Wish it was still on TV! Why doesn't GSN show episodes of "Supermarket Sweep"? With an all-new revival of episodes?

[MrWelsh2000]

my ex wife had her purse stolen from her trolley talk about living life dangerously lol

[1991ArielFan]

This Show Really Needs A Comeback!

[Thugnificent01]

best show ever lmao!!!

[justin271995]

[FSinWCR]

More themes need the saxaphone nowadays.

[milkmanv1]

@FSinWCR As someone who grew up playing the saxophone, AMEN.

[telewatcher89]

@FSinWCR I agree more saxaphone! I got a fever, and the only cure is more Saxaphone! :)

[mackiejoon33]

This was my childhood growing up!!! Nothing beats the 90's, GREAT FUCKING TIMES!!!!

[SJCZZ99]

@mackiejoon33 Great fucking times indeed.

[jngrand]

man, i used to watch this show all the time. and the theme is AWESOME. i especially like the saxophone parts.... AMAZING!!!

[Ddog2k3]

@jngrand yea I agree! I love this theme. Man, this was one of my all time favorites here. LOL

[Ninlego10]

Sound like a game from the Super Nintendo.

[rickhh1]

@Ninlego10 - it's what you expect out of a game show that was created during that era.

[barber215]

this is one of the shows i grew up watching. i'm glad some episdoes are on here. i hope i can see more of them!!

[RetroVideoFan]

I used to watch this show every day back when it was still on.

[oyp567567]

@GameShowFan1999 Hellz Yeah!!!!!

[SparkMaster2117]

In my opinion, this had to have been the most innovative show of its time. I would have never expected this when it first came on.....a show where you could shop and win cash from it. That was so damn creative to me....

[vegetablepatches]

@SparkMaster2117 

hahahahahahahahahahahaHAHAHAHA­HAHAHAHAHAH. fucking hell lad that comment made me laugh/

[AdamStabelli888]

I miss Supermarket Sweep so much. Why did it have to end?

[c3section]

Pax- Unknown

Lifetime- Too many male viewers.

[1980sVideoVault]

Supermarket Sweep on GSN this Nov. with a new host? That's wonderful news. I loved it, but I was getting tired of the older format with (yuch!) animal sounds and a Scrabble-esque speed round before the big sweep. The intro even resembled The Price Is Right, until it was finally changed in the last few years to show contestants just running to their seats. Whoever hosts the new Sweep, I hope it's not Pat Thin. I lothed his laugh on Shop Til You Drop & The New Joker's Wild (1990).

[Wheeloffortunelover]

GSN is going to air Supermarket Sweep on November with new episodes and a brand-new host.

[darkpowrjd]

O.o...source, please?

[Ddog2k3]

@Wheeloffortunelover Hey there, are you serious about that GSN is airing Supermarket Sweep?

[whammy3323]

I love this song!! Awesome Awesome Awesome!!

[bobbarker1984]

I was always impressed with how perfect all the aisles looked on the show. I also found it funny that they would give you a penalty if you left something on the floor

[GrandMasterGalvatron]

Man, the saxophone player killed this theme, and I say killed as in made it AWESOME

[jobim810]

sounds like Dave Koz

[cprhyne]

@jobim810 Good call! That is Dave Koz. I've known him since he was 17 and I hired him to play on the SS Theme (which I wrote and produced). He was just starting to become well known with his solo career at the time.

[Ddog2k3]

@GrandMasterGalvatron yea man, that's one nice theme to this Supermarket Sweep, the saxaphone sound sweet.

[DDELE7]

it would be cool to see Supermarket Sweep return on GSN in reruns or even on Food Network as a new series. It would be right up their alley.

[NebraskaFan77]

When in the checkout counter and you hear the beep. Think of all fun you can have on....

[gsn93]

Supermarket Sweep.

[NebraskaFan77]

That line never gets old.

[IceManNJD]

@NebraskaFan77 SUPERMARKET SWEEP! WOOOOHOOOOOO!

[joebradio]

even today, when I'm shopping for groceries and hear the beep ! I think of what you can win on Supermarket Sweep !

[travis7310]

Do you know where I can see any of them?

[pooka5472]

Actually, there are more episodes that can be seen than just the 7 that only still exist. You can view them at the Museum of Broadcast Communications in Chicago.

[c3section]

How many of you think that Lifetime should bring this back in lieu of their dull movies and horrible reality shows?

[nascar200fan]

heck yes

[ZeroTakenaka]

Hell yeah. Supermarket Sweep was AWESOME.

[HolidaySeason4Ever]

Don't forget they need to bring back Shop Til You Drop. Maybe they should bring back The Price is Right from the 70s/80s/and 90s eras.

[soseztheleadr]

Love this theme. ^^

When this show was on, I couldn't get my family away from the TV. ^^

[blozier2006]

curious i know this is the 2nd theme, does the 1st theme exist??

[GreenRanger1337]

Someone needs to find the Big Sweep music immediately.

[khnync]

LOVE LOVE this theme! It's funny--when Supermarket Sweep was at its peak in the late 90s I was just getting into my teens and at that time I wasn't a big game show fan like I am now (and thus don't remember "Sweep" as much as I do Wheel of Fortune, Jeopardy!, etc.). This, for me, though has got to be in the top 5 of best game show themes of all time and I think it's so underrated! It sounds like it could have been composed by Kenny G--LOL!

[deenage]

I remember as a kid, I loved watching this show.

[Christianrocker1990]

ABC erased/destroyed the '65-'67 episodes according to Wikipedia.

[LtSeth242]

This show was one of the best and a instant classic. How could you not love this show? Its among my top favorites with Price is Right, Russian Roulette, and Wheel of Fortune.

[GokuandChiChi35]

I really wish that they would bring this show back on the air, I loved it!!!

[steve01659]

Looking back to 2003, according to David Ruprecht, the real reason for the demise of "Supermarket Sweep" was because there was a problem between their producer and PAX TV (now Ion Television). The ratings remained extremely strong right up to the end, usually outperforming even the prime time shows on PAX.

[ZoneCountry]

no wonder they're (PAX/ION) in bankruptcy..again. That and a few other reasons.

[c3section]

How I miss this show. When I first got cable, i NEEDED to see this show all the time. It's so addicting.

Also, do you think they got to the $3M point when the cancelled the show?

[gogokris85]

Yeah, I miss dat show alot. I remembered watching it n early 1995 & when it returned n 2000 I was hooked on it, big time, then & now.

[bshadow25]

can you please find first supermaket sweep 1990-1993 theme

[WhatsAYak]

Randy West said they prolly would've considered moving over to GSN when it was cancelled in 2004, but this was when they were going through their "expansion" phase, so they were more interested in non-GS programming.

[jonwiley85]

Anyway, This Is The 1st Theme Song Of Supermarket Sweep, Does Anyone Have The Theme Song Of Supermarket Sweep 1st Version?

[Ddog2k3]

I like this theme version of Supermarket Sweep. Do you have the first theme to the show? Thanks.

[DDELE7]

I'm kinda surprised GSN hasn't picked up Supermarket Sweep.

I would be shocked if Food Network did a remake of the show. But they could make it work.

[grapesofwraith1066]

I used to love supermarket sweep. If Food Network did a remake, I would definitely watch it!

[Jnelson09Returns]

I would watch it too. That actually makes sense. (Imagines Guy Fieri hosting)

[AlphaOmegaAWH]

I'm surprised too, I'm curious if they'll pick up that or Shop 'til You Drop one day.

[mcvieandrew]

this isent dales supermarket sweep

[bduddy55555]

No, it's not. This is the American version.

[biggiebrain]

i love this show i wish it can cum back

[CheapnessAndBeauty]

Damn, major amounts of memories. This was totally my fave show, lol. Wish it was on in reruns, or even a new version. (But with this theme of course, lol)

[zacharyblakellis1]

I have 26 episodes of supermarket sweep on vhs from lifetime and pax

[grapesofwraith1066]

Sounds like the great 80s!

[grapesofwraith1066]

I wish they brought back this show! Does anyone have an mp3 or wma of this song?

[luckyc120]

when i was akid growing up watching this my mom bought me one of those carts and would have the food like hidden around the house and outside and we would play supermarket sweep...lol great times man

[dereksmith207]

I love this Show because its my favorite of all time and the music all the Game show i like please respond my answer Thanks again Email me at anytime any day and week or any weekend

[1soniccool]

i like this show on PAX TV now ION TV!

[justin6061]

I checked the guide for ion tv for my home and its not listed at all?? When is it on for you?

[gsn93]

I think he means that PAX is now ION.

[justin6061]

Oh darn though it was still going though ion lol! I miss this show alot wish they made a new version or put it on the gsn!

[RW00632]

this was the best fuckin show ever

[RowanAthikson]

Love Supermarket Sweep.

From Indonesia.

[ben1245689]

and not to forget that it will still have the same theme song

[NewEnglandSportsGuy]

anyone have any supermarket sweep episodes on dvd or vhs??

[misstee101]

I used to on vhs, but I record over them, sorry! :(

[misstee101]

Love the theme song, and the show!

[Wolfman12395]

All episodes apparently exist, I just wish there was a way any of us or GSN could get them!!!

[ben1245689]

i wish the show was back on

[misstee101]

yeah, I feel you, ben!

[ben1245689]

thanks for the support misstee

[tomjru]

When you're at the checkout counter and you hear the beep. beep beep. Just think of all the fun you can have on Supermarket Sweep!! My favorite episode was when they gave away two geo tractors to the team the scores the highest total in the sweep. Round Robin a fun game, guessing an item in the market, running wild through the aisles and two really good announcers in Johnny Gilbert and Randy West. David Ruprecht for Supermarket sweep is a terrific host for the game show.

[ben1245689]

i was thinking of having this version of supermarket sweep as a kids show but it will have some differences if i get more than 20 good comments then, i will describe what the show is? whos hosting it? how it will be showed? what is from the old SMS? what company will be producing it? how much money they will be looking for?

harrison

[tomjru]

Thanks a lot Harrison, the show may be back on the air. I have to wait and see what happens!!

[ben1245689]

i just need some good comments then ill describe everything

[dragonboi77]

Any incarnation you can make is good enough for me, just bring it back!!

[ben1245689]

One thing I want to mention is if you want to see returning champions on this show and also see a team of one child and parent

[TVLubber]

I just wish I could find a full version of the old theme from 1990-93 somewhere on the Internet.

[goldenguy40]

i used to love this show when i was younger and i wanted to go on it. i wish they'd bring it back.

[KZGY1024]

This would be a nice tune to hear over the speakers while shopping. LOL

[AdamStabelli666]

Agreed. You go shopping and all of a sudden the Supermarket Sweep theme starts playing. I'd be racing to find the 5,000 dollars.

[JeiHeirumaru]

Yeah, but then, everybody would end up "Going wild in the isles" lol

[geniusinmath]

You misspell Aisles.

[JeiHeirumaru]

I know, that was my bad

[geniusinmath]

We all make mistakes.

[JeiHeirumaru]

Yep. that's how ya know we ain't robots lol

[whitismygurl07]

i love this theme so much it makes me happy and i used to love watching it it come at 5 where i'm from on pax used to love it so much like someone said earlier i think a revisal is due on food network

[italiancutie9555]

i used to watch this alot but now its not on tv... boo whoo. why did they take it off??

[gamshwfan]

This is a very nice theme song I see here. It reflects the atmosphere of the show and the game as well. Since it was cable television and wasan't serious t's nice to have a theme song. A little bat from then & now makes the theme a star. It's memorable & well remeber it for the days to come. It's a 5 star theme and deserves to be listened to every now and then; even to non game show fans. The only thing missing is the familiar BEEP; not a problem here!!!!

[steve01659]

I wish "Supermarket Sweep" was still in production. Five years ago, David Ruprecht organized an index page as an effort for fans to save the show that unfortunately did not succeed. He should have kept it posted on his website. The only hope the program can return to the airwaves is only if Al Howard can negotiate a deal with another network. It would go great with the Food Network.

[DrSurprise]

or it could go good with gameshow network

[whitismygurl07]

i don't think it would lately gsn has come up with some crappy programming, like catch 21 all it is is a revival of gambit with a few twists

[Mrsuga]

one of my favorites

[lumix14]

This was my favorite show.

[DrSurprise]

omg! this show was the shit back then!! too bad its not on anymore! sucks doesnt it?!! man, you had to be mad good at knowing groceries!

[gospurs25]

"Sweep" first aired in the 90s on Lifetime, then it was moved to PAX later on (now ION) until its 2002 cancellation. By the way, this song sounds really 80's for being 1994. Are you sure this was composed in 1994?

[LARDLOGO]

It was 2003

[gameshow2500]

I think it was 2004.

[sugateddy]

This composition was the first incarnation of SMS, back in 1990. Yes it does have an 80s like sound to it, but back in the ealry to mid 90s a lot of music stil had that 80s style to it. I'd say that 80s sound lasted up til 96.

[DrSurprise]

what? this show isnt on anymore? i remember when i was in the 2nd grade, i always watched this show

[glickmam]

Um, actually this was the second version of "Supermarket Sweep" to air. The first version aired on ABC from 1965 to 1967 and was produced by Talent Associates, the same company that produced "Get Smart" and "McMillan & Wife."

[gospurs25]

Wow! I used to watch the 90s "Sweep" every night until its cancellation in '02. I never knew ABC actually aired this show at all, but for some strange reason, I can picture "Sweep" making a return to ABC. They just need to find the right host, find the right studio, and air it in DAYTIME. This is probably why Pax (now ion) canceled the show. No one wants to watch shopping game shows anymore, unfortunately. "Shop Til You Drop" was canceled as well; it aired at 6:30 on Pax.

[DrSurprise]

david ruprecht should and if it returns will be the host once again so shut up! no other host can host this show!

[pooka5472]

Actually, the ABC version DID air in daytime. In fact, for much of its run, it was used as the lead-in program for ABC's morning schedule. All other programs that aired before it were either local or syndicated programming.

[ben1245689]

The difference between the abc and pax supermarket sweep is that the abc version had returning champions

[GCRams2]

SuperMarket Sweep was oringaly on Lifetime during the first running then it moved to a new network when it came back for 3 years. I never seen the newer shows but, I love that show when it was on.

[bellaismycat]

could you tell me where i could find episodes of supermarket sweep for youtube

[bellaismycat]

do you have any more episodes of supermarket sweep

[TVLubber]

He don't.

[the69chevykid]

"This is Johnny Gilbert for 'Supermarket Sweep'. 'Supermarket Sweep' has been an Al Howard Production."

I miss that show so badly!!!

[LARDLOGO]

Me too i used to watch it when i was a baby then i cried when it went off the air i used to wake my sleeping grampa up and show it when it came on and my Grandma missed C.O.P.S. for this but a few years later i might start a T.V. Station and i will run this show.

[barber747]

Sweet! Do u have the sweep/mini-sweep themes from 1991-93 and 1993-98, or whenever it was?

[InLove1006]

I loved that game show. :)
