An upside-down trickery in Squeeze Play, am exacta in OneAway, and a $26 showcase overbid.

Do you have Family Feud and Now You See It (one of my favorite shows) taped, too?

@McBearNB

I have two Chuck Henry episodes, but for now, I haven't either that or Family Feud on tap for a while.

Thanks for the upload TVLubber!  I wish they would bring back $uper $aver.

I agree, only make it a little harder, adding one more higher-priced-than-usual product (one at least 40 cents off, the other up to 20 cents off, or both 30 cents off), and have one product 10 cents lower than the original price, but one product marked 80 cents lower, to back the player up.

All in all, it seemed too easy during its time. But I agree, they *should* bring it back.

Squeeze Play's motor must have deteriorated by this point. By 1990, they had a stagehand move the squeezing mechanism (which still happens today).

I remember some of those commercials from my childhood. I completely forgot about $uper $aver because I only saw it played a few times.

Fun fact: I had my fifth birthday three weeks after this episode aired.

It was mathematically possible to win the game; The eyedrops, polish, and sizing would have totaled $1.20, and if she did pick the soap, she would still win the game with $1.00 in the bank.

@TVLubber That's okay, because I'd love to see those word-search episdoes. I've never seen them since I was in school. Are there the episdoe that haven't been shown here? Some were.
