I remember this show! Today you couldn't by a shack for 40K! 😆

[@MrMenefrego1]

That $40,000 prize in 1968 is equivalent to about $341,160.00 today!

Never heard of this one; interesting concept. Have to wonder if they ever actually built a house...

[@sexymama1966]

Oh yes, TV guide published a scathing article about the show, which included the couple lost money because some of the homes weren't completed.

@@sexymama1966 TV Guide reported in 1969 that none of the houses won at that point had been built. So after that contestants could take $20,000 cash in lieu of the house. Since my parents bought their land and built their house in 1972 for $18,000, you could still build a house for $20,000.

I believe Reid and company ran into similar issues with the 1983 version of the show, which aired on NBC and was hosted by Bob Eubanks.

The days of when Daytime TV wasn't plagued by prescription drug commercials.

Hope you can find more episodes. This is a gem! Did the lights flash when someone won a house?

[@ronflatter1235]

9:46 Is that Elizabeth Ashley?

[@Wolfinger1935]

I think that is Joan Hotchkis. She played Oscar Madison's girlfriend, Dr. Nancy Cunningham on the Odd Couple TV series.

Where the heck did you find this? How the heck did you find this?

[@MoviecraftInc]

We were just lucky I guess. It was mixed in with some films we purchased for the archive. It's sort of fun to see what turns up in these film batches someone stored in their garage for years and years, and are finally cleaning up.

[@Cathy-SecretaryIKCA]

My parents were on this show - Dec 1969 I believe. Are there more episodes??

[@MoviecraftInc]

Really sorry but we have nothing from the year 1969.

[@Cathy-SecretaryIKCA]

@@MoviecraftInc whoops, I meant 1968!

@@Cathy-SecretaryIKCA Did they win anything? Did they enjoy doing the show?

[@ronflatter1235]

I stole this format for a sixth-grade project.

[@twistoffate4791]

I wonder whatever happened to these couples.

[@MoviecraftInc]

So do I. I always hope family will find the contestants when I post these shows.

[@drewdemien481]
