    It's a running tv game show, so if you watch the next episode they will start with these same contestants.

Tex unseated the previous day's champion in the completion of the previous day's match at the start of the program.

    Without googling it or checking further. I would guess that the Sunsett Ad would be from between 2007-2012. I only say this because I'm English and have been going to America with my family each year since I was 1 till my current age (22) and I remember seeing that exact advert on TV when I went. And just from memory/nostalgia I would guess I was somewhere between 9 and 13 when I saw it. I might be slightly off though. It's so funny because I never would've remembered that I had seen that ad just from my memory, but to actually watch it, I suddenly could remember every word and expression perfectly, and a crazy wave of nostalgia hit me and I felt like I was a little kid again in Florida ahaha.

    The match's winner was determined on the next show.
    With the straddled format, matches were interrupted due to the show not having enough time to resolve the game.
    The target score to advance to Alphabetics was $300 at this point in _Password Plus_ (as this was a 1979 episode). Later in the run, (its final season of 1981-82, to be exact,) the target was increased to $500, which remained through the entirety of the run on _Super Password._
    When time ran out on this episode, the _TV Guide_ puzzle was left unsolved by the contestants, and thus, no one had scored any money. Even if a contestant _had_ identified the puzzle, the match would still not be resolved until the next program as this was the first puzzle of the match and was worth $100. Tex was going for his third win.

    Allen Ludden (the host) hosted most versions of "Password" until the early 80s. The original version aired on CBS from 1961 to 1967, and again on ABC from 1971 to 1975. This version was hosted by Ludden on NBC from January 1979 to October 1980, but he had to quit due to health problems. Tom Kennedy took over until its cancellation in March 1982.
    The show would return as Super Password in 1984, and Bert Convy, formerly from Tattle Tales, would host it for its entire five year run.

    I remember that sunsetter retractable awning commercial vividly from maybe 10 years ago.

    The sun setter ad was originally recorded in 2004 and was still running at least as recently as 2018 according to an article in the Boston Globe.

    No “Stuffed Cheeks” jokes was a real missed opportunity

    I remember seeing that sunsetter commercial on crappy local tv circa 2004, it's at least that old if not longer.

    That March of dimes commercial was worse than the Sarah McLachlan animal cruelty ones! Goddammit I couldn't stop laughing!

    I believe that the background behind the sun setter having a voice over is because the commercial is originally from the 90s and the price increased. So the had the voice over actor redo the lines with the new price.

    Do What's My Line? Someone has posted nearly all existing episodes on UA-cam. Go back to the 50s. There are quite a few ball players in episodes.

    Terry Savales was _Kojak_ and was absolutely classic. Wesley probably felt so bad after that one he brought Tom Hanks in the back for a line and a fuck.
