Me; It's @ The buzzr, the only blog giving you what Buzzr is giving it to you. Today...



Kids stuff.

CBS Daytime in 1982 was only airing reruns of recent sitcoms and The New $25,000 Pyramid was the first show to air and what came between that and The Price is Right is Child's Play. I'll tell you more on that as I return.

We asked you which charade show is better and Body Language is the winner by a landslide. We'll have another one after I tell you more about Child's Play.

Kids describe what the words are to conestants and they're pre-recorded because the contestants earn points for it. Fast Play has children define words in a jump-in format and whoever is ahead got to either play Triple Play to guess words from children from A B or C or Turnabout where the winner got to describe words to kids for $5000. Even Masi Oka and Tara Reid were on the show before they became big. By 1983....it was PYL who got the spot. The rest is history.

Now the Buzzr beater question: What was your favorite Child's Play bonus game? You have 2 weeks to think it over.

Charades.


By 1984, CBS wanted a new show and it filled the afternoon schedule. Body Language is a game of charades and we'll tell you more about it as I return.




https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_n-1BuWSXVE

We told you about Michael Larsen. Is he controversial? You guys went with no. If I were him ,he would've fought the pattern, but that's the way it goes. Back to Body Language.

Players act out words using only body language, no talking. All the words collected were up to a puzzle of 7 words. 5 words was the maximum to it. They had to solve for $100 for a team's first go round, and $200 in their second. First to $500 wins. If neither gets to $500, a playoff is implemented. After this the winning team gets $100 for every word acted out for 10 times whatever they earned in the first part for up to $10,000 by acting out 3 words in 20 seconds. Hosted by Tom Kennedy until 1986, the show proved fun in all ways.


Now the Buzzr beater question, Of Showoffs, Body Language or Body Talk, which charade show is better? You have 2 weeks to decide on it.

Now here he is, the master of everything buzz, and a man who would never cheat on tests....Pierre....KELLY!

Me: This is @ The Buzzr. It's a program where you know everything about Buzzr. This week.....




Fighting the System. 2 weeks ago we told you about Press Your Luck, but one man in 1984 came in and took on the board the way he could. I'll tell you about it after I give you the results of the poll.



https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_n-1BuWSXVE

We told you of Whammy! or PYL, which is better? PYL, of course. We'll have another one after we tell you the legend of this man.


(song stops)

When PYL premiered, Michael started recording the episodes at the time he was an ice cream truck driver. While watching, he had noticed that the randomizer that moved the light indicator around the eighteen square "Big Board" had five patterns it followed. Larson began trying to memorize these patterns, as he believed he could predict when and where the randomizer would land.  Furthermore, he discovered that the fourth and eighth squares (when numbered beginning at #1 in the top left hand corner and then moving clockwise along the board) always contained cash and never had a Whammy in them. In addition, square #4 always had the top dollar values in it and in the second round, both squares rewarded contestants with an additional spin if they were hit ($500, $750, or $1,000 in square #8 and $3,000, $4,000, or $5,000 in square #4). This proved crucial to Larson's theory, as he could retain control of the board in the second round for as long as he saw fit if he kept true to following the patterns.

In May 1984, Larson used most of his savings to buy a plane ticket and flew to California to audition for Press Your Luck. Contestant supervisor Bobby Edwards was suspicious of Larson's motives when he interviewed him on May 19 and was unwilling to allow him to be on the show, but executive producer Bill Carruthers overruled him (a move he said he later regretted from that day on). 

As far as the game play was concerned, On his first spin, he hit a Whammy; however, on his next two, he hit square #4 for $1,250 and finished the round with $2,500. Long and Litras finished the round without a Whammy and won $4,080 and $4,608, respectively, putting Larson in last place.

As the second round began, He took a sailboat and a trip to Kauai. But he hit target spaces as his cash piled up. Peter Tomarken told the audience to stop....and he finally did at  $102,851. Janie Litras, who was a dental assistant, passed to Michael. With the last spin he stopped the board early and won a trip to The Bahamas worth $2,636. Now at $110,237, Larson passed his two spins to Litras, who failed to earn any additional spins with them.

But let's figure out why he did. The program's producers and Brockman met to review the videotape. They noticed that Larson would immediately celebrate after many of his spins instead of waiting the fraction of a second it would take for a contestant to see and respond to the space he or she had stopped on, effectively showing he knew he was going to get something good. It was also noticed that Larson had an unusual reaction to his early prize of a Kauai trip, which was out of his pattern – he initially looked puzzled and upset, but then recovered and celebrated after a pause. At first, CBS refused to pay Larson, considering him a cheater. However, Brockman and the producers could not find a clause in the game's rules with which to disqualify him (largely because the board had been constructed with these patterns from the beginning of the series), and the network complied.
 after Michael Larson's $110K+ run on "Press Your Luck", the board patterns were replaced for the rest of June 1984, which were themselves replaced in July, then August saw the introduction of a program which could generate 32 random patterns.


That changed the show and game show history. So I have a question for you: Was Michael Larson a cheater? We'll give you 2 weeks to do it.
