Thanks for uploading this episode. This is only the 4th episode I've come across on UA-cam that has a playing of the Dice Game under its original rules. Correction: This is the 5th episode I've come across on UA-cam that had the Dice Game with the original rules, one of which had a winner. Each of those playings had a digit in the price of the car that was a 7, 8, 9, or 0.
26:55 That music cue there is "Ralph". This music cue was rarely played. Along with Deja Vu, Robert, Tackless and Jive Walk from the 1976 package by Score Productions.
The 1976-1977 season is still quite vague. There aren't a lot of shows out there - Anitra would leave the show by the end of the year, and Janice would have a big haircut. 26:55 - Ralph (rare cue and version) I still love hearing 37:31 as a showcase cue!
24:22-- Picking one more card before freezing her bid was the right move, since (under the original ace rules) any card could have won it for her (I seriously doubt any contestant then and now would make an ace less than $100). The last card she drew just happened to add the highest amount she could ($1,000) without overbidding.
The Card Game was tricky in that time with the lower amounts to be within the actual price, as you can be short at one bid and go over if you draw again. Once the lower limit of $1,000 was established, you could no longer face that consequence.
Yeah, this is so much better without the annoying WIN TV squeeze back hogging the majority of the screen. Even all these years later i still can't imagine what in the ever loving hell GSN's execs were thinking with that. Thankfully it and some of the other garbage they did (Faux Pause, Kid's Zone.etc) was short lived. Also show wise it was definitely a wise decision to eventually change the rules to the current format where there are no zeros or numbers any higher than six. The game was definitely much more difficult to win back when there was a possibility of having zeros or seven through nine in the price.
I'm glad they changed the rules for the dice game. It makes it much more appropriate to use the dice.

When did the Dice Game create its current rules?
@@tyrese3745I believe it was in mid-1977 when the 1-6 rule was adopted.
Thanks For Sharing!
10:40 *”It’s time for the Family Feud!”*
10:55 Normally, the cue would start right there when a new car was introduced.

A Houstonian, Judith, set the record for lowest difference in "Card Game": $11.

I'm sure that GSN also aired this episode in full screen as well... most of what GSN aired on WIN-TV also was a full screen broadcast at first.
So 1/3/83 wasn't the first time on PIR that a pachinko machine was introduced with Family Feud music...
That's "Plinko"!
9:30 "Tune in tomorrow to see the next item up for bids."
This might've been the debut of BULLSEYE, too.
2 pair fives up winning Poker Game is really unexpected, although that was the Wolpert Era.
The original range of Bullseye was $9-$10, then it changed to $5-$6 sometime in late 1976 and then changed to $5-$6 in 1989.
$20-$21 on the latter part, you mean.

WinTV continued into the Rich Cronin era of GSN, but with Color To Tell The Truth and the ABC daytime Family Feud from 1980.
Rare to hear the 'Family Feud' cue music for a pricing game with multiple prizes other than for a new car.
Did GSN happen to rerun any episodes with Cliff Hangers from 1976? With its original cue, The Silly Song
They didn’t rerun the first playing, because I think that might have been a fur episode.
I can't believe we've only seen it in clips shown in one flashback to this day.
@@silentbob3208 In the 40th season premiere, to be exact.
