I was just going to remark about this. I have this episode too and it also only has the take #2 opening too.

Too Funny. Rita Moreno and Robert Walden now play

husband and wife on Fran Dreschers new show, Happily Divorced.

GSN did *not* air this episode during the brief time in 1997-98 when reruns of $20,000 Pyramid were part of the regular schedule. Incredibly they aired the week before this (featuring the first appearances of the returning champ Ronnie) and then skipped this week altogether and went to the next week. Fortunately this Monday show from the week surfaced on the collectors circuit.

That was Michael McKean in the clip right after Sandy Duncan.

I assume its 260 episodes from the year 1978 alone.

So the numbers went back to # 1 when the show moved to ABC in 1974? Thanks for that info. Didn't know that before.
