Time Machine: 1/11/85, Part 3

The final part of our travel through time.

First comes Tube Game, the last game of the day. Then comes the Time Capsule round, where the champ is decided. Finally, the Jackpot round, where over $22K hangs in the balance!

Terrible images...unwatchable

@MPL029

I know it's not the best VQ, but I thought I'd share it anyway. I wanted the show's fans to see it, and the chances of this show ever airing again are beyond slim.

And believe it or not, I have some stuff that looks far worse!

So what do they do with the extra time at the end of the show if the niether contestant gets the year on the nose?

[supersaver87]

No clue, sadly...only two episodes with that bonus round are on the circuit, and both have a contestant hit it on the nose.

@supersaver87 Nobody asked him anyway; for being original broadcast (and also 25 years old) it's great condition.

Until the 1990's, networks could not produce their own shows and had no control over them. Tube Game was possible because of that rule. NBC only aired the show, the independent company produced them.

I'll take that over squeezed credits that we have nowadays...

Scott looks kinda like Billy Joel

Same here.

OOPS, I meant a Time Machine watch.

[RolandTaylorJr]

I think I know. There was a sweepstakes in TV Guide during their premiere week where you could win a TV Guide watch. On one episde without the bonus round, they just revealed one of the sweepstakes answers.

I think the snowy picture that used to be seen behind the wrong tube game answers used to spook me.
