Supermarket Sweep, December 1992 Act One

[sweethot56]

someone should try calling that phone number. i'd love to see supermarket sweep back on tv.

[MrAaronLadner]

The Letter Game is Similar to Scrabble.

[nextbarker]

Anyone have the $10,000 bonus sweep when they looked for $10,000?

[nextbarker]

Is this the last season before they changed the theme?

[djdc1985]

too blurry.

[matthew3alex]

What did she say at 1:44-1:45?

[tylertyler82]

Talk about product placement advertising...

[YalkOne]

The show would own prime time during this economy.

Barack Obama, supermarket sweep is the answer!!

[VikutaaChyaaruzu]

Why the show got cancelled, I don't know. I have watched this game since my childhood, and I feel very sad to see this show being cancelled.

[LeothePatrioticLion]

VikutaaChyaaruzu, I salute you! I watched this game all the time as well!

[VikutaaChyaaruzu]

In case you hadn't noticed, there were earlier comments made by me on this video when I was on an earlier account (which is now closed) -- the hint here is the pronunciation of my username. Can you guess what it is? :3

[LeothePatrioticLion]

I hate to admit it, but this time I'm really stumped!

[VikutaaChyaaruzu]

VictorGolfCharles was my previous username. I had to close it because someone threatened to hack into it, though I had an impossible password.

[LeothePatrioticLion]

What a hatious crime!

[VikutaaChyaaruzu]

What I don't understand is someone with the inevitable position of being in his position, right there, today... why he would risk humiliating himself in front of a hundred billion people is something that is totally beyond the two of us. That hacker that I speak of is an outrageous person. I had filed, before I opened up the account I am using right now, perhaps the biggest report ever sent to YouTube concerning a hacking crime.

[sgdp]

What in the hell are you talking about?

[VikutaaChyaaruzu]

Why did you have to be so freaking rude to me?

[sgdp]

You're libeling some random person for absolutely no reason in a manner that is completely inconsistent with the video and comments. You're essentially spamming somebody's video with three comments about it. So care to elaborate on this hacker?

[VikutaaChyaaruzu]

You have just proven to me that your attitude sucks.

[ExtremeBogom]

Who in the hell are you?

And what the fuck are you talking about?

[mindas1617]

i miss this show they should bring it back or at least reruns!

[drucee]

Ahh, David Ruprecht... crazy sweaters, weird delivery, hardcore libertarian politics. Has he been seen on TV since "Sweep"?

[VikutaaChyaaruzu]

Well, he's currently seen hosting the live casino versions of The Price Is Right. He hasn't left hosting duties -- not just yet.

[gameshowguy2000]

Yeah, he's a libertarian..if you try searching his name here on YouTube you'll come up with a Libertarian Party ad featuring him..and he was also executive director of Downsize DC.

[tylertyler82]

I remember his sweaters.

[MrAaronLadner]

@tylertyler82 Me Too. I miss David wearing those Sweaters. His Ties are good too.

[1985Nebraska]

Too bad that Supermarket Sweep isn't on anymore. I mean they could have the reruns aired on G.S.N., but they're not airing them.

Most common things I've seen people sweep out of the supermarkets into their carts on this game show were expencive meats, laundry detergent, cleaning products, diapers, home & garden equipment, and many other expensive stuff at any supermarket.

[LeothePatrioticLion]

I never missed a single episode of this.

[cllewis1]

at :56 there's a shot with the ceiling showing...fake ceiling illusion created by something attached to the camera?? or did they come up with a way for the hot lights to shine down through the apparent "light fixtures" visible in the shot?

[Ivilacutie15]

wow thats oooooldd!! more older than mee!!

[nextbarker]

Does anyone have the time when they ran for $10,000?

[nextbarker]

Has there ever been a time when no one got a mini sweep question right?

[gamshwfan]

This episode appears to be from the early Lifetime run. All the red is okay & the logo is okay as well. It also appears to be treated more seriously as if you were in a real supermarket ready to shop. 1992 looked like the year when they started to add the extras that made the show better. Things may seem bland now but they are about to get better.

[HomeoftheGoodGuys]

In the early 90's, Johnny Gilbert of "Jeopardy!" was the announcer, in the 2000's, Randy West was the announcer also.

[DizyMitchell]

Does anyone have a copy of Canadian Supermarket Sweep recorded in Hamilton ,Ontario in the year of 92 or 93? Is there another website to help ME find my episode of the show ??

[storrs19]

I always liked this show even though the host annoyed me to no end for some reason. Maybe because he seemed like a super flamer? Anyway, thanks for posting as I remember watching this show just about every night. Nice to see it again.

[skujath]

Anyone know how to get ahold of copies of this show? I was on it earlier in 1992, a week called "gourmet week". Any help would be appreciated.

[jeepthing98]

What I never understood was at the end of the show the audience area dissappears, so who's applauding? And does any of the food spoil because its nearly a fully stocked grocery store including produce and frozen foods.

[glickmam]

It's not real food. It's just props supplied by Al Howard Productions.

[LeothePatrioticLion]

GSN better start playing this show!

[Tran77Rail]

Yeah, who cares about Match Game and family Feud when we would care to see more of that classic show, I think if GSN were to air that show, I think they should go back to the very first show, and plus bring the host to GSNLive!!!

[TheCheezWizz]

GSN is too busy showing too many episodes daily of other things, and whoring chuck woolery in things that aren't even game shows. I don't know if they still do it but they WERE doing it. And why is there POKER on a GAME SHOW network?

[barber747]

I agree, cause they show way too much Match Game, which is boring to me now...i don't mind FF too much but it wouldn't be a bad idea for them to put Supermarket Sweep on GSN :D

[AaronBruceLadner]

@LeothePatrioticLion I TOTALLY AGREE!!! I WANT TO SEE SCRABBLE ON GSN, HOW ABOUT YOU?

[lilmissyishere]

oh my goodness I remember that show!!!!

[jchristsu]

Great show, good memories.

It's funny to think that 16 years later we'd have the opportunity to watch this episode on the internet. Very cool.

[SilentBob20]

If you called that phone number today, what would you get?

[the06bug]

Likely some boondock in Compton

[gameshowguy2000]

So it was around this time that getting the Mini-Sweep product back to David in under 20 seconds means $100 added to the Big Sweep total.

[knowuh]

who needs commercials when you can pay random people to win your products? gotta love the fashion though

[VictorGolfCharles]

(gahh... it was supposed to be BOUNCE... keyboard actin' up again...)

[VictorGolfCharles]

What makes a melon ball bouunce? The ice-tart taste of Sprite!

[Jnelson09Returns]

The theme's different. From what I can tell, the theme was changed to the better known version in 1993.

[TVLubber]

But I like the old versions of the music cues better.

[Jnelson09Returns]

I guess I was being selfish there. It was better known to me. And I do like the '93-'98 theme better.

[TVLubber]

But I wish I found the original cues SOMEWHERE on the Internet.

[barber747]

Maybe GSN93 himself can hopefully pull it up, cause although I'm used to the '93-'98 Sweep and Mini-sweep theme, this one sounds much more attractive and livelier, esp. w/ the xylophone or whatever it is you hear @ around 2:32 and 2:38 :P

[steve01659]

The 1992-93 season was also when some sound effects were updated.  Everything else wasn't updated until the start of the 1993-94 season.

[nextbarker]

I hope GSN gets the rights to this.

[TVLubber]

They'd better!

[lilwill2kold]

that's johnny gilbert

[MichalkaManiac]

QUESTION: How long did the Lifetime Television "L" logo at 6:20 last for?

[TVLubber]

Probably through 1994.

[ZambiaCastriote]

Actually, it's 1995.

[steve01659]

David wore sweaters in the first three seasons.

[Adamdude111]

Ah good old SS. This show I miss a lot. I used to watch all the time back in the 90's. David was a great host. I wish SS could come back.

[nextbarker]

I wish GSN got the rights to SS.

[TVLubber]

It had better.

[Subzero20044]

Do you got anymore episode?

[gsn93]

No.

[JBTHREAT]

Why Not?!?!?!

[TVLubber]

This is the only episode he's got as of now.

[nextbarker]

yy, but those women won $10,000 during a tournament in 1990.

[booboo900]

how did those women win $10,000? wasn't the grand prize $5000?

[TVLubber]

What are you talking about.

[Tubewings]

This show needs to be either revived or reran, though I would like to see more episodes. This was one of my favorites as a kid!

[Jnelson09Returns]

Mine too.

[chaingang316]

thanks for posting these...loved SS and miss seeing it on tv
