  • I remember back in the mid late 70's, Bowling for Dollars in Pittsburgh was hosted by a guy named Nick Perry, who went to prison because he helped to fix the PA Lottery daily number drawing in 1980.

  • Any chance for the opening theme of "Bowling for Dollars"? I recall 2 versions in 1978 or so.

  • Based on the "More for You" slogan, this promo would've doubtless been 1978-79.

  • @stooge81 Yes, but Larry Kinney, who was also a radio DJ for 1050 WHN at the time, was also a Very Good host.

  • @tyrese3745 There was no 79-80 season of BfD in New York. In fall 1979, Tic Tac Dough replaced BfD on channel 9.

  • "Bowling For Dollars" was franchised by the same people who franchised "Romper Room".

    Each station would produce it's own version.

    Here in Boston, where candlepin bowling is much bigger than tenpin bowling, a candlepin version of "bowling For Dollars", titled "Candlepins For Cash", was hugely popular in the mid-1970's.

  • Are you sure this promo was from 1977??? Looks more like the 1979-80 season to me.

  • Indeed...for those of you wondering, Floyd's spent the last several years hosting The Italian-American Serenade on WVIP-FM in New Rochelle...having worked there for 3 years now, I occasionally see him there, dropping off material for an upcoming show.

  • We had Bowling for Dollars in Dallas (WFAA-TV, ABC affiliate) and the host was Vern Lundquist! Obviously he moved on to much bigger and better things with a long, ongoing career as a top sportscaster.

  • Wow I had forgotten all about this show. I remember watching this when i was 6 years old, my God where has time gone!
