Lingo 1987 First Episode, final 2 parts

perhaps someone will one day upload the British version of Lingo

good episode.

my brother was 4 days old when this premiered

Wow! KTMA! I had no idea they showed this... unfortunately, this version of Lingo had met a fate similar to that of its syndicating TV station... :(

Thank you for uploading this. I never saw the original until now. This is probably the worst production of Lingo I've ever seen-- they spent most of the airtime explaining and reiterating the rules, the production values are poor, and the hostess acts like she's on Quaaludes. The Dutch and US Chuck Woolery versions really improved the game by using a point/euro-based system and better production.

It was the first episode, of course the rules needed to be explained. Otherwise, the contestants and the audience would probably get confused.

I FEARED the No-Lingo round!

don't we all?

tell that to mr. 2&2 himself (Chuck Woolery)

That's different than the 2000s lingo.
