  • As a tribute to Jessy Leppert, who is going through a tough time in his family, I've decided to upload an episode of his favorite game show. Prayers and thoughts are with you, Jess!
    In this 1989 episode of Classic Concentration, champion Athelia Hurley is back for another shot at solving puzzles, after winning over $11,000 in cash and prizes. Her opponent and challenger is Carlton Green. The winner has 55 seconds to win a car in the bonus round.
    Featured prizes in game 1:
    An electric range, a $500 Cash Pot, and a trip to Costa Rica.
    Game 2:
    Tennis equipment and a trip to St. John, Virgin Islands.
    Original commercials and a time-consuming contestant plug are included.

    The set of Classic Concentration had many notable changes as fall gave way to winter that year. First, the Halloween pumpkins were removed. Soon afterwards, the trees with fall foliage on them were stripped, with something Thanksgiving related in its place. After Thanksgiving, the evergreen trees were added into place. Even after that, snowflakes replaced the palm trees. Finally, the Christmas angels appeared just before Santa came to town. Its interesting rewatching the BUZZR reruns and seeing some of the ancillary details, in addition to a lot of the references/symbols you couldn't get as a kid, such as what quotation marks on a letter means, what a "rain", "awl", or "ewe" is.

      Every 5 year old child should know what it means when the quotation marks are around the words "rain," "awl," and "ewe" mean. Don't underestimate the intelligence of young children.

    Why waste airtime doing that contestant plug when there's more than enough time for an audience game?

    A holiday in St. John in the Virgin Islands would likely be better than one in St. John, New Brunswick, Canada. I'm not sure if anyone from that city will watch this, but if they do, I'm sorry.

      Plus, my father used to record Classic Concentration quite often on videotape when I was a child, & this was one of the episodes he taped; I just found the tape two weeks ago in my garage with the OAD on the tape label (thx Dad!). Unfortunately, the VCR decided to have it for lunch 😡🤬 And furthermore, 12/6/89 was a Wednesday, & all the NBC programs mentioned in the voiceover @ the end aired on Wednesday.

      @@NickCMedia Since BUZZR began airing Classic Concentration in Fall 2018, reliable information about Classic Concentration had become more readily available. In fact, it appears that BUZZR is airing the two episodes immediately before after this one on Monday Feb. 28, 2022 at 1 & 1:30 PM ET, (but is skipping this one, which is likely # 653).
      Personally, I don't like the presentation of all of the information on the fandom site, but I have found it to be generally reliable with respect to air dates of specific episode #'s.

    Really nice upload! Thank you very much! One comment though (not about the uploader of the video), it really got annoying the way Athelia kept on "thanking" Carlton. He didn't help her on purpose and it was like she was rubbing it in. I dunno. Maybe that's just me or did anyone else notice or agree/disagree?

    Marjorie totally blew a lot of airtime with that contestant plug.
    I think it was better when Gene did the plugs from mid-to-late-1987.

    • @NickCMedia
      @NickCMedia  5 років тому +5

      The match ended in two quick solves by the same contestant. And instead of playing an audience game (which is only a maximum of 60 seconds long) after the Car Round, they blow the extra airtime on a time-consuming contestant plug and describing the cars (which they stopped doing regularly after '87) BEFORE the Car Round.

      I almost fell asleep just watching Marjorie Goodson doing the contestant plug in this episode of CC. But she made a terrifically superb model on the show anyhow. They should've let Gene Wood do the contestant plug throughout the show's entire run because he was the announcer and that was his job after all.

    They could have used the extra time better for an audience game instead of that time-consuming contestant plug.
