Jim Perry Tribute: Card Sharks - $1 to Save the Show (10/12/81)

Show #8 in my Jim Perry tribute is the October 12, 1981 edition of "Card Sharks". In this episode, Jim gets a letter from a little boy who hopes that the dollar he sent will help keep the show on the air.

That boy probably would've wanted to be a Young People's Week contestant!

>Player's named John Holmes. Is his roommate named Sherlock Watson?

[@georgemaster1995]

I'm still a little upset that NO newspaper or TV newscast(albeit local or network)never reported Jim's death.

[@bluebear1985]

+George Master I believe I saw a link somewhere where it had an article on NBC's Facebook page reporting on it shortly after his death.

[@georgemaster1995]

Nice to know,but it still doesn't give me the satisfaction of actually reading the article itself in the L.A.Times, or even USA Today.Heck,the San Bernardino shooting is getting more coverage,although not a showbiz thing,the recent terrorist attack in San Bernardino (shooting) is no show by any means!

+George Master I just bought the USA Today special "2015 Passages", and it sadly omits Jim. :(

+Randy Hansen That's crazy. And dumb.

[@tvtimetravel]

TommygunNG Quite a few game show personalities (hosts, announcers) have been omitted from year end reviews of those who passed.
