Scrabble - Champion/Carolee, Heidi/Mike (Sept. 11, 1989)

[@physicalnickels]

The promo for USA Live starting Monday means this aired on the last day of the game show block and was the last time Scrabble was on TV.

Unfortunately that is true as USA was making major changes. Not only the ending of the game show block, but also the ending of the USA Cartoon Express. I saw USA Live(later CAFE USA) and it was completely awful. USA’s old motto was “The Remote Stops Here,” well the remote stop working in 1995 cause now USA became the SVU channel

​@@Eminem200183I miss the OLD USA Network!! Great programming

Does this mean this was the last 1989 episode Christopher Ryan managed to upload previously?

[@thechadmosher]

There are more episodes with the “USA Live” plug to come. This was not the last time Scrabble aired on TV.

Nice way to end the work week before the holiday coming up.

3:24, Carolee thinks the letter that would've gotten her $500 is a stopper! OH NO! Well, when people are on gameshows, they get excited or nervous and forget or don't realize letters are up there. Happens a lot on Wheel of Fortune, too... the gameshow Chuck Woolery used to host.

What a final sprint!!

[@richardhernandez4490]

0:16: LOL! A home viewer clue roasts a certain someone. LOL!

[@richardhernandez4490]

3:24: Oh no Carolee!!!!!

[@alexanderpytko5394]

She thought it was a stopper but it wasn't and it would've gotten her $500!

[@richardhernandez4490]

5:03: Looks like Carolee has studied the writer's minds before appearing on the show. She knows how Chuck roasts the writing staff. LOL

[@richardhernandez4490]

5:25: The shot of one of Chuck's targets. LOL

[@richardhernandez4490]

I didn't blame Carolee for crying. She did great!

[@richardhernandez4490]

20:10: (yours truly's jaw drops!) That was very tough. Wow.

[@wschmrdr]

I know I didn't have it, but MAY have been able to make it up on word 2.

[@alexanderpytko5394]

Well, I heard this game is being rebooted by CW along with Trivial Pursuit. This game is better than Password and Pyramid because the audience at home doesn't know what the words are so they can play along too. With exception of the second player playing speed word since the same words are used.

[@richardhernandez4490]

3:59: I knew it. LOL

[@nextbarker2702]

@5:27, so that's what Jan looks like?

[@richardhernandez4490]

Yes.
