Rip Taylor is great at making us laugh!

I looked up elizabeth moorehead on google for a lark and there is a young girl on facebook that looks just like her. So weird

Jim Victory Television was a division of Goodson-Todman, so it stands to reason that they owned the show, and the syndication rights.

[palmercomm]

What was Jim Victory Television, and how did they get the syndication rights to all these Goodson-Todman shows?

[promontorium]

lol, cassettes didn't make it out of the 90s, but those same Lens Express commercials never went away.

[Hondo20132]

Of course!

[Hondo20132]

That's a no-brainer!

Was this before GSN was in their dark period when their contract for the Goodson-Todman library expired?

[chrisivision07]

Yes, mere weeks before in fact, around Oct. of '97. I had just gotten GSN via DirecTV a few months before the transition so I was pretty p'ed off at the time.

[uwtitanfan]

I feel your pain, my parents had C-band so I was able to see GSN from the start. The diamond head game was one of the worst things I've seen on that channel

[Fartingbellybutton]

@chrisivision07 I was Mad too at the Time.

contestant Jim Bontempo later went on to win big on Tom Bergeron's "Hollywood Squares" and also Rip Taylor would also "rip" off his toup again on Tom Bergeron's "Hollywood Squares."

[Hondo20132]

No wonder they called him 'Rip' Taylor!
