Scrabble - Christy/John, Linda/Stew (Early June 1993)

[@behemothbear]

I do love to see the occasional 1993 episodes of Scrabble. 💕

4:45 Is this "Des chiffres et des lettres" (Original Countdown) reference?

[@MatthewTheMattam]

It may as well have been. It definitely checks out.

@coldsnap5742 I’m sure he did if he was a potential host. Considering Scrabble was off the air March of that year.

1:50 - Where's the sound effect for when the board cube doors open?

[@richardhernandez4490]

12:25: No Chuck. LOL It's better for you to read it for the first time on the air. LOL

[@JZCRAZY]

Nice upload. Thanks!

[@richardhernandez4490]

"You guys are just dancing on a thin line of disaster." Ouch. LOL

Did this version have 90 episodes or only 89 episodes when factoring Bill Clinton's presidential inauguration? Since May 21, 1993 was the last first-run episode.

Oh that 2nd final sprint word was tough

[@richardhernandez4490]

I gotta wonder, is this the same Stew that participated in the short lived You Don't Know Jack game show with Paul Reubens (aka Troy Stevens) years later?

0:24; This was an independent TV station in Detroit. The following year, as part of the affiliation swap, it would become the CBS affiliate for Detroit (after FOX moved from WKBD to WJBK), and the year after that, CBS would buy the station outright as an O&O, changing its call letters to WWJ-TV.

Nostalgic beat when the big board emerges in

[@phen314]

Thought I had the second word right away like John did, but they weren't called servers back then. :facepalm:

[@lobstertexas]

So per my earlier comment on another Chad-posted Scrabblage (regarding a Sprint challenger bombing out of the entire thing from only one word and my presumption it likely never have happened more than one time), I stand corrected! (Is that what prompted this upload in particular?) 🙃

[@trevorpanno516]

I can’t beat 13.8 seconds.

[@richardhernandez4490]

12:17: Oh my. LOL
