Sale of the Century (Australia; July 21, 1995)

[@travisfurber1368]

This was the gold standard of game shows. Please bring it back

[@jaredjlinden]

It’s a great format - definitely worth a revival.

[@syc9675]

Really wish that we bring back this show. At least it’s a fun show to watch

[@waza987]

I think people are too stupid today, or at least the TV channels think so. They will only do shows based in blind luck these days.

[@edind533]

I miss these days. Reality tv, Netflix, Facebook and instagram have destroyed everything I have loved dearly What a time that was to be alive

[@AchtungBaby77]

It was revived as Temptation in 2005, which was relatively successful and lasted 4 years, but ultimately I believe the era of successful gameshows on at 7pm is over. Nowadays, everyone is glued to their phone. Watching TV as a family after dinner doesn't happen anymore.

[@andemaiar]

The sounds of this show bring back so many memories. The prizes were pretty good back then!

[@linnag1210]

I remember watching this show when I was a kid, good memories

[@anonleft]

Eek, the pokie game is on the nose

[@syc9675]

I remembered watching this show back in the days. It was fun to watch and that the host was friendly. I missed watching Sale more and more with every passing year.

[@AchtungBaby77]

​@@anonleftHow so?

[@anonleft]

@@AchtungBaby77 bc the pokies are a blight and this "fun family show" trying to make them seem enjoyable is pretty gross.

[@datwistyman]

Wish they would bring this show back I used to love it as a kid 😁

[@alitanicholas9579]

Yep. Even once a week, it would be GREAT!

[@morphix007]

the flow of the show is amazing, not boring at all

[@kyleadelaide]

I've been watching a lot of old Sale vids and I think Cameron is my favourite so far. Not afraid to buy the prizes and still crushes the opposition

[@stephenm4819]

Ed said Mercury was the smallest planet, now that Pluto is no longer a Planet he is correct and should be awarded the points.

[@tomcroydonfrommtthomas4719]

Nicky Buckley has a disability. She has one leg longer than the other

In that time, Pluto still the planet until 2006.

Body Builder was Sonny Schmidt who went on to win the 1995 Olympia. In 2000 he was arrested for importing cocaine from Mexico. He did 3 years jail. Sadly he would die of cancer in 2004, aged 50.

[@WorldPeace-AdamNeira]

I was a contestant on Sale of the Century in mid 1992. (Won one night, $1500 cash, dining table and a camera.). Glenn Ridge was the host. It would be fun to be able to access/buy? the episodes of the two shows I was on. Do you know if old tapes/records are available from the Australian version of SOTC?

[@xmanval2]

Nah I think Fremantlemedia has your episode maybe contact them and they might can find it

[@morphix007]

did they film 5 episodes in a day?

[@PN_48]

Nicky Buckley and the Sale girls. Lordy.

[@tomcroydonfrommtthomas4719]

A bit of trivia. Nicky Buckley has a disability. She has one leg longer than the other

[@GenoLoma]

Why am I watching these at 3am..?

[@kyleadelaide]

Because it's awesome

[@ksonchannel5261]

@ 7:23, If $ale of the Century Could've Stayed with the Famous Faces Format past 1984 (and the show didn't get cancelled past 1989), John Mahoney might be placed on the Fame Game Board in both the US and Australian Versions along with other Celebrities in the USA could pop up Down Under in the Fame Game Board of Aussie $ale.

[@dansog2256]

The 8 in the cash jackpot sign is upside down at 22:14

[@adrianabate2415]

I noticed that also hahaha

[@dansog2256]

@@adrianabate2415I would assume that the 8 would of been upside since changing it to $180,000, meaning that this error would of been at least 4 episodes.

[@adrianabate2415]

who else clicked on this and listened to it whilst reading the dialogue??? ;)

[@Droidzi]

OMG - the ads!

[@MrShieldsy100]

According to Wikipedia, Cameron would go on to win the lot on the 1st August 1995, totalling over $360,000. Would you happen to have this episode at all. If not, that's OK, I'm merely curious.

[@theguywiththegames1594]

I do not. Interesting bit of knowledge though.

[@MrShieldsy100]

The Guy with the Games Are any of the episodes that you have still to upload ones where the champion plays for the lot. I’m not asking you to upload them, just curious about your collection of episodes 😀

[@mitch1994ification]

Hey man. Im looking for a specific episode somewhere between 1994 and 1995. Do you have more episodes available?

At 16:12, Glenn calls Cameron "the champ" despite this being his first night on Sale.

[@Tubewings]

Well, he is sitting in the champ's traditional seat.

I said the same thing. But Glenn corrected himself after the break. He's was a champ though with the name Cameron.
