Brilliantly done by Tonya Crowe. Harem could have been fatal. And coming up with a list puzzle for Insurance was incredible

[@DBR00]

Rosella is adorable ❤

[@aschoenPERT]

Wow Tonya Crowe crushed this episode. A one clue puzzle solved, a $25k Alphabetics, and a one clue Cashword.

[@gerinja]

Tonya Crowe is so gorgeous. Wow!

[@dzanier]

She sure is,

[@jhzenor61481]

I used to watch the ALF cartoon when I was growing up, I remember winning an ALF doll from a Des Moines Burger King. Oh my, I loved ALF!

WHO-TV NBC 13 DES MOINES-AMES, IA IS NOW OWNED AND OPERATED BY THE NEXSTAR BROADCASTING COMPANY.

[@TommygunNG]

Tonya Crowe's list puzzle for "Insurance" was quick thinking.

[@njadakaboles9999]

Love it Clorox detergent! Great job 👍 love old commercials! Especially detergent commercials

[@scootover7]

Tonya's a pretty good password player. I loved her on Knots Landing.

[@Bigbadwhitecracker]

Never heard of either one of these D list "celebrities", but you're right, not a bad player. Rosella was much cuter than either one of them.

[@HealeyBrianT]

Not bad for someone who on this episode was only 17.

[@lindaroper2654]

Need to put these in order . I looked at one and couldn't find the second one.

[@juanitadavis2425]

oh check out the Gum commercial!! WOW the good ol' days, I missssss. Innocent and cute commercials

[@terranniet]

Man the Freud was rediculous

[@TommygunNG]

I remember "The Cavanaughs" was the answer to a puzzle once. No one got it, because no one really knew anything about the show. It was that big of a flop.

[@builttrainer]

that Alphabetics round felt a whole lot more like The $25000 Pyramid.

[@Bigbadwhitecracker]

yeah it does.

[@TommygunNG]

Doing a list puzzle for "Insurance" was brilliant.

[@TommygunNG]

@@GumbyPokey-c8w Uh, yeah. And?

[@TommygunNG]

Almost none of the commercials include the websites for the product. What if something a viewer wanted wasn't available on Amazon???

[@jmiller297]

EPIC episode!!! :-)

[@johniringan8460]

Nancy's premonition.

[@disneydanny2]

KNBC Los Angeles (which in reality was in Burbank) in the same complex where this show was recorded

[@tnawcwvictoria]

Tonya Crowe from Knots Landing & Mary Tanner from The Cavanaughs Olivia Cunningham vs. Mary Margaret Cavanaugh

[@evalehde3869]

Thank you. I was wondering who those girls were. They didn’t look familiar to me at all. I did watch Knots Landing. I do not remember the other show.

“Stay tuned for Scrabble next, on most of these NBC stations.”

[@erikpridemore3174]

From the original 1988 broadcast on Super Password, someone can win $25,000 with just 10 answers from a celebrity's one word clue in the end game on Super Password. And if someone can play the cashword right, someone can win $4,000. And as host Bert Convy was doing quite a show when he had Tonya Crowe and Mary Tanner play Super Password on NBC, he surely had a ball doing the show, as he did on Tattletales during its two incarnations on CBS. Both game shows now air on BUZZR.

[@Abletodoit675]

Let’s call Patrick The Game

[@lovelhezlove9568]

napasearch tuloy ako dhl sa RTIA.. ung name ng girl 🤔

[@juanitadavis2425]

James, what happened to your Alf? He get dissed to the attic?

[@disvids8754]

It worked this time, but why is "cat" always given for "jaguar"? "cougar"!

[@TommygunNG]

Because "cat" is generic for a feline, and the initial letter takes it from there.

[@evalehde3869]

I am unfamiliar with the two celebrities.

[@Nickrj3]

Rare to see to female stars on a game show.

[@matthaddock1817]

Or male stars like Pat Sajak and Nipsey Russell and two M*A*S*H stars Gary Burghoff and Jamie Farr.

[@luilang7002]

Sigmund fraud lol

[@trevorpanno5371]

That $4,000 cashword win put Rosella $100 shy of $30,000.

[@zachhoran]

Only other time two women were the celebs on regular weeks of the show were with Betty WHite and Vicki Lawrence in 1985 on week and another week with Betty WHite and Carol Channing. An all female celeb week happened in early 1987 with Lucille Ball, Betty WHite, Estelle Getty, and Ann Doosenberry of Lucy's then short-lived Life with Lucy. Tonya was 17 at this point and probably the youngest celebrity to appear on this show. Laurie Hendler of Gimme a Break was 20 when she made her first appeance.

[@zachhoran]

SOme stations aired SUper Password at different times of day. I suspect if it aired before Noon EST, as did on WPXI PIttsburgh(aired at 11AM in 1984-85 and for part of 1987 at 9AM), it aired on a day delay. It aired same day at 3:30PM on KYW from 9/16/85-9/2/88 then aired at 12:30PM for a bit in Fall 1988 and then at 10AM through 1/20/89.

[@zachhoran]

KYW then NBC in Philly, now CBS.

[@kambreesuncle2]

A forgotten sitcom called "The Cavanaughs".

[@SweptAway529]

Tonya played Olivia Cunningham on "Knots Landing" - she was great on that show, too!!

[@1987tvfreak]

What I've often wondered is why NBC scheduled it for noon in the first place. Seems like 10am (which was sitcom reruns at the time it debuted anyway) would've been a much better slot.

[@gilbertmartinez1504]

She should just admit that she doesn't know Fried was.

[@matthaddock1817]

Freud*

[@MrMatteNWk]

Notice that on the second go-around with that word, for the first time ever in an end game, Bert gives the answer away with some seconds left on the clock.

[@StatsRob1975]

she saw fraud not freud

[@TommygunNG]

@@MrMatteNWk No loss, as it would never have been gotten. Convy simply didn't think his action through.

[@TommygunNG]

She did know, as evidenced by her saying the last name on Convy's "Sigmund."
