Awesome! Good for her!

[TonyDuMont]

At this point in the run, the pitfalls lit up twice and the safe sections lit up once, right? When in the run did this rule change?

[PatrioticLionLeo]

It was always like that.

[TonyDuMont]

Actually, late in the run, the rule changed so that safe sections lit twice and pitfalls lit once.

[PatrioticLionLeo]

Oops, sorry.

[mannysdaman]

sorry, your incorrect. the pitfalls always lit up twice

I wish the Canadian Game TV picked up Pitfall reruns.

[bluebear1985]

@heine71 So do I. As good of a show as it is, I'm starting to get tired of "The Mad Dash".

[WhatsAYak]

@bluebear1985 - And the fact that only a dozen eps of TMD survive (shame, considering what a great show it was) doesn't help, either.

@heine71 I've seen Pitfall reruns in 1985-86 on the Los Angeles station KHJ Ch.9 (now KCAL).

[heine71]

@tvtimetravel Odd!

[tvtimetravel]

@heine71 Oh, not really odd. Several TV stations (mostly independent non-network affiliates) reran game shows in the mid 80s. There are several mid-70s episoded of the Bill Cullen-hosted $25,000 Pyramid that were reran in 1985 on a Buffalo station I think. Plus, a decade earlier several stations reran the CBS episodes of The Joker's Wild before they started their first-run syndication in 1977.

@tvtimetravel Long before GSN/Game Show Network.
