Scrabble (March 19, 1990): Mary vs Zak

[@agmack886]

Scrabble was entering it's final week on NBC back in March 1990 while Chuck's other show Love Connection was already in its 7th Season in Syndication.

[@jamesrobinson9642]

Yes, back then, on Monday, March 19, 1990, this "Scrabble" game show had Mr. Charles "Chuck" H. Woolery as its previous host just as his former announcer there was Mr. Arthur W. Ferguson [also professionally known as "Charlie Tuna"!

3:01: I just love the sarcasm in that.

If the game was how fast can you find the stoppers then they did great

[@whammy3323]

Mary was on Press Your Luck #459 Steve/Mary/Randy :-)

[@richardhernandez4490]

That first crossword game to describe in a nutshell: STOPPER-PALOOZA.

[@richardhernandez4490]

I gotta wonder what is the highest number of stoppers hit in one Crossword round?

[@AldenRDavis]

15:43 - 1..2..3..4..5..6..7..8..9..$1,000

[@grievousangel09]

Did Terry really beat Zak in the Sprint round? Technically speaking it did not sound to me as if Terry got the last work correct.

South King County represent!

4:25 Uh-oh...

[@rickmarone2382]

Lmafo omg small world Mary has my last name no joke

[@VahanNisanian]

This show would make a great fit for Buzzr (last seen on USA Network 20 years ago on October 13). And I couldn't care less about Chuck's politics. I just wanna see this show on TV again.

[@RoboScreech]

***** Agreed! Totally disagree with his politics but who cares - he is/was a great host! Always a treat. And I enjoy the gameplay in Scrabble.

[@zacharydunlap-tunnage2220]

The Fun & Games Channel Won't Fremantle--or their clients, at least--take it off of KZbin as soon as they show it on Buzzr, though?

[@VahanNisanian]

The Fun & Games Channel Well, Fremantle seems to have left the "What's My Line?" channel alone. They have taken no further action.

[@zacharydunlap-tunnage2220]

***** For now...

I've heard rumors that legal hangups with Hasbro are what's preventing reruns of this show (plus Scattergories, by the same issue).
