Blast from the past!!!! How did you keep your clips in such good condition? Thanks for saving so many of them. I was a model on the show for 5 years and loved every minute of it. I remember that last day of taping like it was yesterday.

@MsMulford Respond to this video...Hi Lou! These tapes have been sitting in air conditioning in a box at my parents house since they aired all those years ago, can you believe I could even get them to play?!...some of these episodes were just VHS tapes from the office, some I taped from my apt in LA, plus I have some really good software that transfers it to the YouTube well....btw old friends on Facebook would like to say hi to you, send me a private note....

This was a well done, very entertaining game show! What a shame for NBC to cut it from its lineup.

[mittdawson]

Agreed!

@tnawcwvictoria plus NBC would also can both Wheel of Fortune and the daytime version of Win, Lose or Draw later on in '89 as well. Wheel jumped ship to CBS, only to have a short-lived return to NBC in early 1991 and daytime WLoD stayed in syndication for 1 more season w/o Bert Convy at the helm.

@HomeoftheGoodGuys NBC reran the episodes of "Full House" from seasons 3 and 4 back around 1991. I also remember the promo for a rerun of "Full House" when it was on NBC daytime where they did a catchy rap song singing "'Full House' Is on NBC Daytime!"v That brings back some memories.

I didn't watched the final show since i was at PS 154 in Brooklyn, NY. It was really fun, a great way to end all game shows as so does "Super Password". NBC made a bunch of changes in the daytime lineup. I remember back in around 1990 or 1991, they had reruns of sitcoms during the daytime, by 1991, NBC had reruns of "Full House" in the daytime schedule, but it last for one summer until the show moved to syndication. "Full House" was a good show for NBC daytime and it was a rerun.

@TheKid965 That sux. It was the last show, they should have offered the car as the bonus prize regardless.

1989 was a sad year for NBC

$ale of the Century & Super Password were cancelled on March 24th and Card Sharks w/Bob Eubanks was cancelled a week later in favor of Now You See It w/Chuck Henry and plus, 1989 also saw the end of an era on The Today Show as Jane Pauley said goodbye to The Today Show after 13 years on the show, but found great success as Co-Anchor of Dateline NBC

Thanks for uploading this episode. When they aired this on WNBC-4 in NYC, the last half was pre-empted by a newsbreak. After 21 years, the wait is over!

Contractual obligation. Actually, they did have a contestant two days before who was in line to win that car, but he failed in the attempt.
