Online Pick of the Week (1/1) - The $100,000 Pyramid

Happy New Year! Here is an episode of Mr. New Years Eve (who I think needs to retire) Dick Clark, hosting The $100,000 Pyramid. Here is a 1985 episode. Enjoy

My Tribute to Grandpa #2

As another tribute to my Great Grandfather, here is his 2nd favorite game show, The Price is Right with Bob Barker. By the time Carey started, he pretty much lost interest in the show. Not due to Barker's behavoir, just due to, he didn't want to watch it. But he loved it in the 80's as well. Here is a 1983 episode.

To the man who beat me in a mercy fight (where you interlock fingers and try to bend the others back) in September, to the guy who still lifted weights, and a cool 97 year old, I bid farewell, and will miss you in 2012. R.I.P. Sorry I can't attend your funeral tomorrow, but I'm glad I visited you when it mattered most.

My Tribute to Grandpa #1

My Great Grandfather Lawrence Lemmon passed away this morning at the age of 97. That is a picture of him at a Museum in Idaho. I got to see him over Labor Day Weekend.









He rarely watched TV, but he did have a few favorite shows. His favorite Game Show was Wheel of Fortune  in his honor, here is a 1986 episode.

I also take great comfort he is with family who passed on. His wife Lillie and his Son Gene, who died within a year of each other in the late 90's.

A Lot of Crap

Well, I have had better days for sure. This one I found out first. GSN is changing it's schedule in January. Starting January 23rd First, the ever popular Saturday night winners, Karn and O'Hurley on Family Feud will get Monday nights, with Karn at 7:00pm-9:30pm, and O'Hurley at 9:30pm-12:00am. OK. Tuesdays-Thursdays. Fridays,

Will now feature Karn Feud at 2:00pm, 3 hours of Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader 3:00pm. I can live with that. Then after that, I'm changing the channel. At 6:00pm-4:00am, is Dancing with the Stars. Yeah, I will not be watching. I absolutely hate this show with a passion, and now they're running it to hell. Freakin wow. On Saturday nights, it airs again from 6:00pm-4:00am. Yay, I no longer have to worry about Saturday night TV. At least last years Wheel of Fortune and Jeopardy! is on. Sometimes I hang with friends, so I don't have to worry if I'm DVRing something. Hey, I'll be dancing when the show premieres.

And it takes over 1:00pm-6:00pm on Sundays. Flashback Fridays are gone, which is now The $100,000 Pyramid for 5 hours.

After Christmas Pick

Here's a special 1984 episode of The Price is Right from Christmastime. This features something funny that happened, but what. This was also Johnny Olson's last Christmas.

Enjoy. BTW, I didn't upload this.

Online Pick of the Week (12/24) - Christmas Card Sharks

I have 2 episodes of Christmas Card Sharks for my online pick. The first episode is a Rafferty Christmas episode from December 1986. The episode features 10 Santa Clauses

The second one is an episode from Christmas 1978 (Which probably will be seen on GSN), which features a funny contestant Jorge from the Christmas 1978. He's hilarious. I love him. I enjoy seeing his run on Christmastime. Love him.

Merry Christmas. Card Sharks, My Online Picks of the Week

Moving On to Something Different

Well, Million Dollar Mondays just haven't worked out. So their gone. Apparently there are a lot of changes. Mondays will now be GSN original marathons.

All times 7:00pm-12:00am

Monday December 19th, Lingo (Engvall)
Monday December 26th, Chain Reacton
Monday January 2nd, Whammy!
Monday January 9th, Lingo (Woolery)
Monday January 16th, Catch-21

Also the Flashback Friday block is gone. Instead on those Friday nights, beginning December 23rd is The $100,000 Pyramid from 7:00pm-12:00am, at least til January 20th. So The $25,000 Pyramid is dead, almost.
