Scrabble - Jeff/Norma Jo, Joyce/Ron (Fall 1984)

I really enjoyed when Jay Stewart did the voiceover for the show. It’s such a shame he took his life.

[@seanjefferies9992]

Oh wow! I never knew he offed himself. I thought he died of natural causes.

It's interesting to me how drastically they changed the game throughout it's run.

As you try things out, there's nothing wrong with a show evolving. Most of the changes seemed to be for the better on this show.

@@wschmrdr One of the changes they had was the production company cheapened the payouts in early 1985, where 5 Sprint wins netted an additional $20,000 bonus became 5 Sprint wins augmented to a flat $20,000, with 10 Sprint wins went from over $55,000 to a flat $40,000, well the tournaments they had made up for the cheapened payouts, where they brought back players who won at least 5 Sprint rounds.

If there is one thing I miss about the USA Network reruns of this show (and The $25,000 Pyramid), it is the altered contestant and ticket plugs, which blur the original phone number and replace it with the disclaimer reading "Phone Number Not Active."
