Man i was just a lil one back then. I wish i could time travel back to these days. I miss my family. 😔

[@LL-bl8hd]

I was about 40 days old! 😄 I can only imagine how my parents were feeling (their first child), maybe while watching this show! Even though I was too young to remember this still reminds me of my childhood.

[@rwboa22]

RIP Tom Kennedy.

[@georgemaster9271]

I thought Jim Lange did a good job of hosting the 1984 reboot.

[@jrjames99]

george master and Jeanne was on that one too, the first two weeks of that version featuring 14 $100,000 winners from the Tom Kennedy era. Jeanne was one of the 14.

3:48 - heh, Regis Philbin in 1978,

[@jrjames99]

This actually is July 1978, Jeanne has her appearances on her channel and it says July 1978, she also has her 1984 appearance with Jim Lange on her channel also.

[@ruckus9533]

Fun fact Jeanne Antrim is one of my brother teachers

[@LordChristopherOfMidway]

Interesting how the contestants switched from stick mics to lapel mics in the second round and then back. I gather that was because the producers didn't want those lav cables being torn up with all the excited jumping around. But they went with the lavs during "Bid-A-Note" because they picked up more subtleties in the contestants' voices.

[@doctorwho2014]

The disco dancers just sort of hovering above are what really make this.

[@citrusmixer1313]

27:17 That's some VERY energetic disco dancing, lol.

[@2005dave]

@@citrusmixer1313 Dennon Rawles was the choreographer and male dancer. The female dancer, Jerri Fiala, was also on The Cross-Wits at the time, pointing to the crossword letters. Cross-Wits was also a Ralph Edwards show.

[@morgan8757]

Jeanne antrim played in a tournament of 100,000 winners in 1984

[@LogoMan7777]

Spoiler!

[@KiddBloo86]

Greg Palmer In all fairness, that episode was posted here way before this one.

[@MrRemark21]

In this episode, Wednesday, July 12, 1978 was the tape date. When this show was taped, it was the third complete week of six of summer school for the non-SLDC version & school lunch menu courtesy of the Glendora Unified School District: Crushed Ground Beef and Gravy, Whipped Potatoes, Vegetable Dippers w/Peanut Butter, Hot Roll w/Butter, Orange Pieces. Vegetable Dippers are Celery Sticks.

[@BillGraper]

This aired about a week before my 7th birthday. I bet I didn't know these songs back then, but now I'm killing it! 🙂

[@jnadle1]

The more typical opening catchphrase used from 1978-1981: How many tunes can YOU name in 30 seconds? Two contestants will be playing for the right to win $100,000 in cash on Name That Tune!

Stocking clerk.

[@jeffreylong3963]

27:39 - You'll get a bang out of "The Gong Show." Tomorrow night at 7:30, join host Chuck Barris and the celebrity panel of Carl Valentine, Dorothy Lamour and Jamie Farr as they judge an array of amateur performers who want to entertain in the worst way, and many succeed in doing just that. "The Gong Show" tomorrow night at 7:30 on Channel 7.

[@dianec5382]

I'm surprised at the comments by folks thinking that it was Conrad Bain in the Safeway commercial. He looks NOTHING like Ray Bolger! Not to mention that Bain was only about 55 at the time, & Bolger was 76.

[@LL-bl8hd]

[Spoiler] Aw, Jean won her piano! I hope she enjoyed it!

[@codymerryman5605]

This was taped at Metro Media. The sweetening audience tracks from shows like: The Cross Wits and the Jack Nars version of: Concentration.

[@AstralPixie]

Regis and Meredith Baxter-Birney ;) The way he counts the money is such an audience pleaser. Really never knew that Ray Bolger had done commercials (that's the Scarecrow from Oz talking about Scotch Buy).

[@BillGraper]

One question, $1,000 + a car? Holy cow!!!

[@markheying2830]

Do you remember if you still have the Car?

[@nickellodeon55]

The ever-present "Laia Ladaia" (Pat Williams) as the theme from the Saturday Night Movie.

[@TheSaltydog07]

That looks like Ray Bolger.

[@christophercotton9048]

The San Fernando Valley vs. The San Joaquin Valley!! Let's get it on!!

Contestants appearing on this episode of "Name That Tune" will not be receiving Polyglycoat as it wasn't introduced until 1979.

[@matthewbaduria]

Classic 70's Game Show,it's been around for 3 generations and has left a huge legacy behind.

[@aaronarnold3803]

Tom's wrong about "Rhythm of the Rain," it was The Cascades.

[@TheMusiclegends56]

Thank you

[@aaronarnold3803]

@@TheMusiclegends56 BTW - I probably shouldn't point my finger at Tom (RIP), he was most likely fed false information. Not the only time I've caught errors on the part of the NAME THAT TUNE research department. I still loved the show for the most part back in the day.

[@blind_t2]

The $1000 song, I would’ve got it now. I would’ve had no idea had this ran in the 90’s.

[@rtrout57]

Ray Bolger in Safeway commercial!

[@LogoMan7777]

Oh.... good, I thought it was Conrad Bain.

[@corataylor6532]

😘

[@johnfenner5550]

They should've put another double in the car's place whenever it was won.

[@johnnyballenatl]

Or even better...a TRIPLE (meaning up to $3,000)!!!

[@tvtimetravel]

"You're a grocery clerk, huh? We'll 'check you out' during the show." Good pun, Tom!

[@fododude]

"My Bonnie Lies Over the Ocean." Jeanne could have guessed it if the pianist had played the correct rhythm!

[@bombyboo6335]

For real. It bugged me

[@LogoMan7777]

8:33 -- Mr. Drummond!??

[@bombyboo6335]

Um 👎 no

[@tourstagez101]

The intro to this show was just terrible. The black chick singing? Really? The dancers? Jesus Christ! TERRIBLE!

[@zacheryalderton8787]

Who is the announcer

[@danalong1237]

John Harlan, that’s who!

[@bluebear1985]

The one contestant in here, Jeanne, already posted this episode on KZbin I believe.

[@Tubewings]

2:24; Can't get any bigger than that.

[@bobz299]

Do you think July 12, 1978 may have been the record date when recorded at Metro Media Square?

[@jeanneantrim]

Bob z Yes, the show was taped on July, 12, 1978, with both Semifinals and the Final taped July 14, 1978.

[@johnnyballenatl]

Thomas Schofield Air dates of syndicated shows back then varied by market, as tapes were "bicycled" from station to station; some medium to smaller markets won't see the episodes until a few *_months_* after their initial broadcast (which explains the airdate on the slates being "TBA")! Even the national spots back then would've been seriously outdated, especially from retailers; who wanted to see a commercial for a Sears Christmas sale aired in *_FEBRUARY_* during Donahue (or Mike Douglas or Merv Griffin)??!!! That practice came to an end when the syndicators transitioned from air/ground distribution to satellite distribution in the 1980's.

[@danalong1237]

I remember this show when it aired on WKYT in Lexington every Tuesday night at 7:30 (the night before The Nighttime Price is Right and the night after Pop Goes the Country) and on WHAS in Louisville every Thursday night at 7:30 (opposite Let’s Make a Deal on WLKY).
