Happy Thursday!
As of today, I have made this site much easier to follow. Just click the follow button at the bottom of this website (just above the two authors). There’s an option to follow on your account or follow via email.
I will add in a new section called Special Shows. These are recaps that are from special shows that either celebrate an anniversary. Mark Liotta at Net Game Central is also currently hosting a special episode for the shows 65th anniversary. Recap to come when that episode is complete.
Since this show is currently on a brief hiatus right now, I’ll give the rundown on the show’s rerun schedule for the 49th season. My fellow admins can add more on this once we get more info.
11/27/20: Aired 11/27/19 (before COVID). It’s the College Rivals special, so one person has to leave the front row if their rival wins the bid. 4 out of 6 PGs were won and both showcase players were PG winners.
12/25/20: Aired 12/20/18 (before COVID). All I can say is that both car games had pretty painful endings (the second was played for a Lexus IS) and Howard, who spun a dollar in the first SCSD, won a trip around the world in the Showcases.
12/28/20: Aired 11/20/20. Motown ACED Gas Money. As a rarity, no cars were offered in both showcases (though the smaller one had a pair of motorcycles).
12/29/20: Aired 12/7/20. This time, the car in Any # wins. Diana aced Shopping Spree and got the $500 bonus in the IUFB. Also, before the showcases, Kyle proposed to Alafia. She said yes.
12/30/20: Aired 12/10/20. All I can say is that our PG players played well today…except for the Clock Game one.
12/31/20: Aired 11/24/20. While we did have a perfect first half…Ronika passing the showcase bit her in the end.
1/1/21: Aired 12/1/20. 4 PGs were won (w/ a bailout) and the showcase winner (Jamie) lost a Toyota Corolla playing Card Game.
1/29/21: Aired 12/9/20. Like 12/1, 4 PGs were won and a PG loser won the showcase. A VW Jetta was won in Pocket Change.
3/19/21: Aired 2/8/21. Just 2 of the 6 PGs were won here (incl. Any Number) and the Dollar spinner won her showcase.
3/22/21: Aired 2/10/21. 3 PGs were won here (w/ 1 bailout), but the Rat Race heartbreaker weighed it down a bit.
3/29/21: That 11/20/20 episode.
