Bring this show back!

[@dreman1970]

Very underrated game show!!!!

[@Quazi-moto]

A 6-hour drive kept that brother and sister from seeing each other for 8 years. And that's WITH automobiles. Imagine what it was like when horses and your feet were the main modes of transport; family members only 50 miles apart would likely go several years at a time without seeing one another. Nowadays it's hard to imagine that kind of life since the internet connects all, over the vastest of distances, almost instantaneously. Just something that struck me while watching. Carry on. . . . . .

[@gammastation]

Always loved Bill Cullen hosted game shows.

[@Quazi-moto]

Yeah, he and Allen Ludden seemed like legitimately nice people.

[@rmelin13231]

He was the king.

Russ coming up with such clutch answers like jailbait and Sodom.

AHOOOOO MYYYYY GAHHHHH!!! I recall me ma saying that about Bolivia when I was very young (70s) and I’ve remembered it all this time (2019). I almost figured I was the only one who knew that these days.

Pat missed 2.

[@marcomacias3960]

I wonder if the LMAD is Let's Make a Deal

[@jonathanashbeck3740]

Probably.

[@vincentsorletti6017]

Could very well be

[@dratheart]

Wait now why did one side have 2 people against the one girl? That's twice the chance to come up with the answer and seems really unfair....

[@yabbaguy]

Two handicaps in the solo players' favor: - they have the easier objective of going vertically across the board. For starters, its shortest path is 4 compared to the family pair's 5+ horizontal path. - the pair has to think through buzzing in too soon and locking out their partner who may know. A solo player isn't inhibited in this way, so they may be quicker to press. Worst case, they're wrong and the pair hears the whole question anyway. The win rate actually turned out to be approximately 50-50, if I recall.

[@lynettepalecek3141]

@@yabbaguy You're exactly correct. Bill Cullen pointed out that the winning percentage is about the same. He said that in this episode.

[@peterwilliamskelhorn6675]

@@yabbaguy most times the single players win and sometimes the pair do. Its like that on the UK version as well (White for single player and blue for pair on UK version)
