Me: This is @ The Buzzr, your trusted source about Buzzr.

Today....the first lady of game shows.


Nobody can do game shows better than the one & only Betty White when it comes to being a panelist and I'll tell you about it when I return.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dC6GtKraxKE

We told you which version of Password do you like better, and it was Password Plus in a close margin. We'll have another one after I tell you more about Betty White.


(song stops)


Betty was an actress and operatically-trained singer who had her own sitcome in the early days of TV. She was known for playing one of the Golden Girls.

She even tried hosting in 1983's Just Men!

But she's known for a panelist on game shows like.....

Match Game.

Password Plus.

Trivia Trap.

To Tell The Truth.

And this year, she did the latter with Anthony Anderson.

So here's a Buzzr Beater question. What's the one best thing about Betty White. You have 2 weeks to think it over.

Me: This is @ The Buzzr, your trusted source about Buzzr.

Today....passwords.

With Bob Stewart creating The Price Is Right....he decided to make a word game to the company.......and it was........Password. More on that when I come back.


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dC6GtKraxKE


Now the Buzzr Beater question. What was your favorite Child's Play Bonus game? By a slight margin, it was Turnabout over Triple play. I have another one for you after I tell you more about Password.

Contesants try to convey their partners to use one-word clues one at a time alternately. Points decrese in value from 10 to 1 in order to figure out what it is. Allen Ludden did that in the sixties and seventies and later returned to Password Plus in 1979.

When Allen died, Tom Kennedy took it over until 1982.

Then from 1984 until 1989, it was Super Password as Bert Convy. Both of which involved 5 words that add up to a puzzle.

The latter had a Cashword segment and a bonus game in which started at $5000 and increased the same value each time it's not won.  Then it was Million Dollar Password with Regis Philbin.....

It was like the Cashword round, but against the clock and within the limit. It ran for 2 seasons on CBS. But the Buzzr Youtube channel revived it under Steve Zaragoza.

These days, Jimmy Fallon brought back the orginal vibe on his late night talk show.

And that is how Password works. Now the buzzr Beater question, Of Super Password, The original Password or Password Plus, which is your favorite? You have 2 weeks to decipher it.

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.



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

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.

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.

Bill Carruthers did something in 1977 and it was short-lived. The result.....

So Bill decided in 1983 to recreate it as a new game show, and we'll tell you about it after I return.

Now we get the answer to the Buzzr Beater question. Which did you prefer, GSN or Buzzr? Honestly, you chose both. Good for you.....is you are a fan of Steve and Richard on both channels. Now on to PYL.....

The aim is to earn spins by answering trivia questions. 3 will give you a correct buzz-in answer and 1 for multiple choice. After 4 the podium spins around to the big board to earn cash & prizes.....but there's this.....

1 will wipe away your money. Get 4 and you're gone. No questions asked. If you have a fear of the whammy, you can pass your spins and the opponent must take each one unless a whammy happens. For at least 3 years, it was an integral part of the CBS daytime schedule. And on July 31st.....

History will be shown on Buzzr,


But this Buzzr Beater question will be asked before we're history. Which do you prefer? PYL or Whammy! Pick one in 2 weeks from now.
