[@tnawcwvictoria]

Yes, and just so ya know: Bob Newhart, Betty White, Tom Kennedy and William Shatner have outlived Marcia Wallace and Fred Travalena

With that ticket plug music, viewers seeing this after 1987 probably realize that music is used as the theme to Classic Concentration.. IIRC, it was used on another show too.. but I can't recall.

Props to Score Productions for fair approximations of the hits of the day (at a time when other gameshows were stuck in the '70s, musically).

[@brothergaryii]

Tom Kennedy talked Johnny Olsen into doing the Ticket Plug that would also later be used as the theme to "Classic Concentration" for NBC @ 18:13.

Sam is handsome and I don't care much for Blonds

[@Naminski1a]

Mrs. Edna Krabappel-Flanders from The Simpsons did very well in Body Language.

[@MrMatteNWk]

Wait a minute, Marcia Wallace's character's named Krabappel? I've been calling her Crandall!

[@tnawcwvictoria]

She was also known as Carol Kester on The Bob Newhart Show back in the 70's

[@digiblader1]

Someone please bring Buzzr to Canada!

[@footofjuniper8212]

Sam Masarani, the muscle man, is a realtor in Burbank now.

[@edelric86]

Sadly, Buzzr is not in Oregon. I hope eventually it comes to my new hometown Hood River, OR when I move there.

[@VahanNisanian]

Ticket Plug FTW. There would also occasionally be a Contestant Plug, as well.

[@theuneditedfungameschannel7295]

***** It's cool to see, especially when you're conditioned not to. :D

[@VahanNisanian]

Rob Homa Only time will tell. That is literally all I can say about that.

[@VahanNisanian]

The "New" Fun & Games Channel So you're saying Buzzr is editing them out? Maybe some of the just never had one originally. I know for a fact that not every episode of "Press Your Luck" had a contestant or ticket plug originally.

[@VahanNisanian]

The "New" Fun & Games Channel Sorry if I got a little agitated. :)

[@AustinLaPlante]

Fred is not very good at this. He keeps pointing to himself, leading the contestant to go for verbs and adjectives instead of nouns. Sam, though... hot body, but kind of a himbo. 😕

[@mitchellries256]

Drew Conway Yeah. He named every member of the family except son.
