Awesome video with the pros! Thanks a lot!

Thanks for this! I wanted to attend but wasn't able to.

Its nice to see a variety of commercials. Unlike today its cell phone commercials, new cars and freakin car insurance commercials in 2025. I cut cable in 2012 I don't miss what is has become. I miss what it was. Awesome telecast

I do not remember Jimmy Stewart selling Firestone tires but kind of funny to see.

This was uploaded by myself years ago almost 10 years ago and got this show from Larry himself years Ago

Real bowling...before the Rodney Dangerfield bowling balls which have made a mockery of this sport.

Despite the apparent good shots on the outside part of the lanes (on both shows), Roth rarely deviated much off the 3rd arrow. Obviously that worked a lot.

I like the fact that Pete followed in his dad's footsteps 👣 & surpassed him, BIG TIME. Reminds me of my dad & I bowling 🎳 our respective leagues. All said and done, I surpassed my dad. High Game, we tied at 254. I got him on series, 652-633, comprised of games of: 223/203/226. I brought home 3 trophies in 8th grade: 🏆 3rd place team 🏆HS: 543 (181 avg. for those 3 games). 🏆HG: 231 (for which I received honorable mention in the Waukegan, IL newspaper in Feb. 1985). High School league ended with me bringing home another 3 trophies within those 4 years: 🏆League Champ (Junior year) & 🏆3rd Place team🏆 HS: 589 (both Senior year) My swan song came in my 1st adult league (1994-1995 season) of 2, I would have. The 1st, I bowled a 254 game, I mentioned earlier, which would be my final trophy 🏆 highlighted by a 7-bagger (XXXXXXX) for the first 7 frames & double (XX) in the 10th. 9 of 12 possible strikes (75%). The 2nd (1996-1997) would produce the 652, mentioned earlier. No trophy for, as it was only 3rd highest in the league. The highest went to my teammate, Steve Leahy, a southpaw, with the mark of the devil 😈 666. That middle game of 203, although a good game, killed me. I needed a 218 game to beat him by 1. Still a good season.

Always loved Marshall but I grew up in the 80s and didn’t start watching the PBA until 1986 so I never saw him with hair. This is awesome seeing him so young with a massive head of moss! My dad had the same hair style in 1976, and was also going bald by 1986 😂

This is an open challenge to pba Tommy Mop. We must have a friendly Match!!! 3 games, Total series. Lower must buy a coffee/ Tea.

1:00:27 The blonde on the right...

38:31 loudest 7-10 split ever recorded

The doomsday stroking machine... Vintage Anthony

Johnson was bowling like his life literally depended on it...his wife and the woman behind her were in agony..😅

The contestants bowled well in the 1989 Firestone Tournament Of Champion on Alleys 27 & 28.

1 Great legend of the game 🎳🎳🎳

King pin!

3 years prior to Mark Roth's conversion of the 7-10 split. Same bowling alley. Same television pair.

The contestants bowled well in the 1998 Showboat PBA Senior Tour Sebring Open on Alleys 11 & 12.

Harry Sullins was the first one to wear sunglasses on TV...not Pete 👍👍

The contestants bowled well in the 1971 Brunswick World Open.

The contestants bowled well in the 1980 PBA Long Island Open Complete ABC SHOW---Pete Weber Debut As well as...

The contestants bowled well in the 1966 Toledo open on Alleys 21& 22.

Dick Clark died a long time ago

The contestants bowled well in the 1982 City Of Roses Open Complete ABC Show on Alleys 33 & 34.

The Rolaids Tip of the Week was very helpful.

I live in an apartment building with some people and we used to go to a Warren mi bowling alley and I’d watch them bowl on Saturdays it was so fun to watch them. I used to bowl when I was younger and my highest score was 160 a couple of times.

24:29 I'm Changing My Name To Fling!

I used to bowl pot games against weak Jewish Boys!! I always Won!! Patsies!! 😂😂😂😂😎

Eight years old, I watched the 16 bowlers Friday night try and qualify for the finals. PBA bowlers were very good to the fans. My program was filled with autographs. I was a very excited kid who bowled at that center from 1967-1972.

I was 14th that year

Hey there Mike, thanks for the video & I’m glad that you meet Norm Duke in person. I remember meeting Norm & he sat right next to me at a lunch during the clinic at Spins Bowl in Carmel, New York. He likes my Barbecue Mac & Cheese & he really like the way I had with Pork & Chicken tender strips. Way to go! 👍🎳

Revs300, Nelson Burton Jr was one of the best in both Bowling and doing the Color Commentary on the Pba Tour. Also, Do you have any telecast from 1982 that features Nelson Burton Jr in the Stepladder Finals?

Glad Mccune lost. He was a cheater…

Doles was a rotten person. Making fun of Henry Gonzales’s weight. He also sucked at announcing bowling.

That looked like David Letterman on the Firestone 721 tire commercials.

Revs300, Do you have the Stepladder Finals of the 1980 Fair Lanes Open, and the 1985 Showboat Invitational?

If resin had never been introduced and they had never gone beyond urethane, Pete would have 80 titles by now, that his how dominant he was with urethane.

Awesome! I was the editor on this video, fun to see it on KZbin

At this point in time Earl had 13 years on tour and including that win - had 38 titles. 38 titles in 13 years. JESUS.

The contestants bowled well in the 1981 True Value Open.

Yes. Where is the title match? I drove up to Overland Park, KS to watch Marshall Holman bowl. And Wayne Webb too. Holman was tremendously excited all week. Led the tournament with a 20-4 match play record. Won against Webb by a single pin if I recall correctly. Bo Burton finished in 13th that week. It was great to see him bowling well too.

Great Classic and sports show each weekend 😂❤
