Body Language (1984) PT. 1

"It's the game for the uninhibited!" Hi, again, gamers! Time for some more good stuff from the world of TV game shows. Body Language was the short-lived, charades-style game where words were acted out to help solve a puzzle. This episode is from the week of 7/9/84-7/13/84 and features special guests Mary Cadorette (from Three's A Crowd and the movie Stewardess School), and Jm J, Bullock (from Too Close for Comfort, the 1986-1989 run of Hollywood Squares, and Alf). Contestant Linda was on the show before, but wasn't too lucky. Soon after, due to a technicality, she got another go. Can she pantomime her way to riches? Let's check out part one!

What do you mean gameshowluvr, there are a few Body Language episode guides but the contestant guides didn't get beyond the July 5, 1984 episode though.

Hmmm... That's weird. They should put up the whole run.

[Ivoryface]

As a matter of fact, Linda Peace was on during the series premiere week with Vicki Lawrence and Jamie Farr as the first female/male celebrities of the series, she appeared on episodes #3 and #4 of the series. BTW what episode # of this week was this anybody?

[gameshowluvr86]

There's an episode guide that says that this was episode #26. Just look up 'Body Language episode guide 1984'. :)

This was, AFAIK, Mary's first game show appearance ever, predating her first appearance on "Pyramid" by 3 months.

....and as all game show enthusiasts know, Mary's biggest game show victory took place on The $100,000 Pyramid in the spring of 1986, when she lead Patty Geiger to the top of the big Pyramid for the one hundred grand. The clincher was "Precious Things", and Mary's reaction to the big win was EPIC. :)

Ah, no. Tom Kennedy is his stage name. His real name is Jim Narz, and he is the brother of the late great Jack Narz, though...

Well, Collyer's To Tell the Truth is still on. But I'm guessing it's eventually gonna be out of the question.

At 5:39, you hear the sound from The Price Is Right, which sometimes lose pricing games, went over $1.00 in the Showcase Showdown Round, and lose the Showcase.

What CBS stations didn't clear Body Language besides WJBK (early in the run), WTOL in Toledo, and WNEV in Boston?

I liked this game show. I used to watch it on GSN at 9:30 am in the summer before they moved GSN to digital cable. (bastards). I taped a lot of episodes so I'm good. I wish it lasted longer on CBS,but that 4:00 pm timeslot was a bitch. Still is.

MrBlackSW: the restaurant was already on Three's Company for the final two seasons. The restaurant carried over to Three's A Crowd. However, Jack and Vicky didn't move into the above-the-restaurant apartment until the final episode of Three's Company...which carried over to Three's A Crowd. Vicky's father also bought the restaurant and building on the final TC episode too.

I love this gameshow... Back in the day they had a lot of good games... Nowadays just does not compare...

Is Tom Kennnedy related to John,Robert,Ted ext. I heard he was a cousin.

[MrBlackSW]

Mary Cadorette was the love interest of John Ritter's character "Jack Tripper" on the Three's Company spinoff "Three's A Crowd". Just before TC got cancelled, they had Jack Tripper find a steady girlfriend when one of the girls was married of the show. They all moved out of the apartment and that was the end of TC. Jack moved in with the girlfriend and opened a resturant and a new apartment that was owned by the father of his new girlfriend. Hence, Three's a Crowd.

i must say that if Jm J Bullock was in the same room with me, he would be "Too Close for Comfort"
