I remember that theme in the first clip as well from the Buffalo NY edition. That was the main theme for the show. I've been looking for it for awhile after having it stuck in my head for like 30 years! Thanks for posting it. The second clip theme is "Keep the ball rolling" by Al Hirt I believe.

What ever happened to Diamond Lake Lanes?

First part of the clip... the "Bowling for Dollars" theme I recall very well from WOR TV(Channel 9) in New York City when Bob Kenney was the host, airing weeknights at 7.

Next two clips... the bumper music BfD used to air also on Channel 9 in NYC for commercial breaks.

The BfD show was usually taped at the bowling alley in Madison Square Garden.
