This was my family. The Sparks family. My parents and Uncle and aunts. They went on to win 5 shows in a row. Richard Dawson came out to the audience and kissed all of the female family members right on the lips! Kinda yucky for us teenage girls. Yes The Telles family were quite forthcoming that they partied in their limo before each game...Lol ...They were smashed! We all had the most wonderful time! My beautiful Mom (the irish one) is still alive and in her 90's, feisty as ever!

If you remember, there was a release form that asked if you preferred for to not be kissed. Or kissed on the cheek or on kissed on the lips. and Dawson always respected that.

Richard is still with is through these reruns. As he used to say, "God bless the little children everywhere. "

about 2mins into this vid, i said to myself, 'omg, the hair!'....30secs later, dawson mentions their hair salon business.

[@RepentfollowJesus]

I love their hair! I was a teen in 77. 😊 And the bell bottom slacks. They look great!

[@markheying2830]

My guess for the Football Team Position Question presumably would have been 1 of the following 3. 1: Quarterback 2: Wide Receiver 3: Linebacker

Having lived in Italy, I'm floored by those answers. #4 is the only one of those I thought would be up there.

[@toddinthemiddle]

you must be from the future or distant past

[@TheEggplantThatAteChicago]

@@toddinthemiddle "Venice" is a stupid answer.

[@pikestance8851]

It was a terrible question. Very ambiguous made worse by the fact that it was reduced to the top four answers.

[@jamesffxl]

Do you have the episode where Terry from the Telles family got 0 points on Fast Money?

[@YouCantHoldOnTooLong]

That sounds like a trip! Terry certainly had a distinctively gravelly voice! ~Dutch

[@benetta8275]

I would love to see that one! It was right before this one The Sparks family who are my family. We were in the audience watching!

[@sureshmukhi2316]

I know this was 46 years ago but I believe they should have counted Gondolas for Venice. After all, what is Venice known for? Like would Rome or Naples have been considered answers? Those are cities.

[@paullarue2010]

The Big Money have been won.

[@JaxenRossisback]

Perfect 200

[@paullarue2010]

I hope that "clown" word, might scare Matt.

[@loribelden1846]

Paul LaRue and

[@VynceMontgomery]

Are the Telles family actually drunk? it seems possible...

[@benetta8275]

Yes! They used to party in thier limo in the studio parking lot right before each episode was filmed. I know because my sisters and I were there to support our parents the SPARKS FAMILY. Richard Dawson would kiss all the female contestants and he also introduced himself to the family members in the audience and we three teenage girls had to endure a wet mushy kiss by Richard too. Now I look back in fondness and remember what a great time it was before Covid and AIDS! We had a lovely time and our family went on to win a total of 5 times! RIP Richard Dawson😇🥰

jdbankshot He's just a throwback to a earlier ancestor.....Maybe a grandparent or a great grand....
