"Name That Tune" (Music Trivia Game Show) Full Episode 1/1/79 w/Commercials (1 of 2)

[@learleywells4498]

Wow!! I used to watch this show every morning around 11am! I was seventeen years old at the time! I used to play along by guessing the tunes! 😃

[@historianKelly]

I'm a historian, also was a teen at the time of this show. I got nostalgic for game shows with public displays of intelligence; the pop culture quality of this show is so satisfying! I love the commercials, I remember the national ones. The imagery of the local ones is wonderfully representative of that period. It's ironic the theme to Welcome Back, Kotter was one song here, I was singing that to my pets earlier. I guess I miss the '70s tonight. Thanks for this.

[@tyhunter1960]

Very cool! 15 minutes of ACTUAL TV from the 1970's!!!!!! Complete with commercials!! AWESOME!!!

[@CarlScripter]

1:20 HOLD THE PHONE... That guy totally got it backwards 😂😂😂

[@corataylor6532]

The new system is the best 🌟 version It

[@lukeg1968]

Great clip!,loved the commercials,god this is so.representative of how i remember my.childhood,nice job!

[@MsMUSIQMAKER]

Better than awesome, the commercials alone were just fantastic!!

[@NEPatriot]

Anyone notice how as Tom was paying off the $500 the stagehands in the rotating cube were moving the outer wheel into a position to remove the *CAR* plexiglass section and then close it up to move it to the nearest DOUBLE?

[@EvelynJFrierson]

They robbed dude on the "he ain't heavy he's my brother"....Tom said it had to be exact and she didn't say it right either. Hope that got audited later.

[@shakatak0128]

Also, she said "Saturday Night Fever" instead of "Night Fever" on the song before

[@KiddBloo86]

"My" and "your" are totally different words.

[@edwincancelii2917]

Oh, those late ‘70’s. I was 6 and a half years old at the time.

[@vjm007]

I worked at Waldbaums!

[@MrRemark21]

This show was aired on Los Angeles TV Station KABC-TV Channel 7 on Wednesday, January 31, 1979 at 7:30 pm, opposite Los Angeles TV Station KHJ-TV Channel 9's "Tic Tac Dough" starring Wink Martindale.

car space best part of the show,and tom handing out the money and car keys

[@usa02]

The "Makin' It", "What's Happening!!" and "Heroes of Rock N' Roll" promos were v/o by Veteran ABC East Coast announcer and former ABC News World News Tonight announcer, Bill Rice.

[@ericandy88]

And "Makin' It" was gone after just a few episodes. I think the time slot change might have hurt "What's Happening"'s ratings.

[@hempelchamp]

I was 18 years old at that time!

[@jorgefigueroa4437]

Near 7:00 a person moves the melody roulette replacing the car space

[@ChuckD79]

I caught that, too...you'd think they would've told the prop man to wait until the camera was away from the wheel before removing the car space!

[@yaywhewclips242]

Makin it, Ive got the time Im taking it no more no more makin it!! I had the 45

[@rodney1279TheFlip]

This was exactly 1 day before I was born.

[@whirliebird74]

And the stepson of the late "$64,000 Question" host, Hal March. He performs big-band and yesteryear concerts today under the name 'Steve March Torme'.

[@blozier2006]

Couldn't here, seeing as how this was taped sometime in 1978.

[@dagdogg]

The lady got the second tune wrong, but they said she was right. The song is called "Night Fever", not "Saturday Night Fever"(the movie it is from).

[@FrankNelsonNet]

In this version of the show, as long as you included the title in what you said, they accepted it. It was only in the mystery tune, which they weren't doing anymore by this time, that you had to be completely exact.

[@mysteryrgo]

that car

[@Tubewings]

I believe runners-up of the $100,000 Tournament Finals won another new car.

[@michaelgiannettojr.1056]

were did this air in baltimore md

[@michaelgiannettojr.1056]

datsun 200 sx my favorite car on the show and what did they give away if you didnt win the $100000

[@valomilk]

[@juanmatos2623]

Yes he is an excellent guy to talk to

[@blind_t2]

Jeez Louise! That drummer in the band is craaaaaaazy! Take note at the end of the theme as the host came out! Did he go ham or what! Who is he/she!

[@2005dave]

Frank Capp on drums.

[@blind_t2]

2005dave dude’s sick! Woooooooowww! Nice choice!

[@corataylor6532]

[@wandamcdonaldowen6581]

[@amys1885]

the host's pants...............lol they were the style then

[@groundpenguinproductions5912]

Amy S yep

[@juanmatos2623]

They sure are

[@DarthTaz]

How?

[@maxie2go]

The title must be exact - Wasn't that Bee Gees tune Just "Night Fever"? She said Saturday Night Fever... didn't she???

[@disneyfan8178]

I guess they gave it to her because the words "Night Fever" were in the title she gave .

[@Iloveyoulesbians]

someone pls tell me the name of the gameshoe used to come in 1990's where participants used to go in some cave type area and then enter the game room and paly the game and they get a small metal ball and at the end of the game thee was a big ball of crystal glass in which the lastparticipant used to go inside and collect money blown in air with fans and the money they collect was there winning price the host of the show was bald

[@flclfan85]

The Crystal Maze

[@Iloveyoulesbians]

Damn .............. Fuck u r awesome .... god bless u thousands lakhs and crores of times man .... u dont know how much i missed tht programe and u made my day dude thanks a lot ................ god bless this guy/girl by fulfilling his all wishes

[@voodoo49]

I thought Kathy Lee Johnson,later Gifford, sang on this show or was that later or with a different host?

[@c3po626]

It was around 78 and less, this new version was 1979, and they needed a new girl.

[@voodoo49]

@@c3po626 oh ok, thanks.

[@KiddBloo86]

Then again, if they accepted lyrics, it would be way too easy. On PIR, in the 'Bullseye I" game, someone was off by the price of a car by $1, rules are rules. =/

[@zachhoran]

Jerri Fiala was known as the co-host of Cross-Wits, also a Ralph Edwards Production, at this time.

[@zachhoran]

Makin It premiered on 2/1/79 so this might be from Thursday 2/1.

[@zachhoran]

The girl didn't give the exact title of the third tune in Melody Roulette either.
