- Part 1 of an episode of the NBC game show "Sale Of The Century", hosted by Jim Perry and assisted by Sally Julian. Jay Stewart is the announcer.
This is the episode that has the opening segment elsewhere on my channel.
Audio should be in sync this time.
I grew up in the 80's and love Sale Of The Century. I still watch the reruns on GSN.
This is the first game show I got hooked on! I just loved the drum intro and that music, and that booming voice at the start. I sure miss game shows like this which aren't trying so damn hard to be smirky and sneering.
I have a theory as to why the prices are so low. Not only were they still finding themselves this month, but they were experimenting with the prices quite a bit during this year. Those prices were closer to the ones that had been available on the $ale of the ¢entury in 1973 or so, just a decade earlier. In fact, one of two clips online of $ale from that era was that of Bill Wendell announcing a trip to Paris for $279 and a car for $289; the couple were playing for both prizes at the time.
thanks you for you tubing this
ON the original "$ale" set in New York, a graceful curved staircase brought the champion to a huge grand prize floor on its main level.
Ilove this show my favorite. To watch.
Wow that the first time in sotc history they have 3 Male contestants
Nicholas held his own, but clearly it takes a great host to make sure a game like this moves along.
If you ever see Jim in the speed round, which to my understanding isn't in the Norwich, you'd understand.
Wish GSN would play these episodes, but they are taking this off for Shop Til You Drop
It was from the week of January 31st because I remember Swoosie Kurtz and Tinkerbell both being on the Fame Game board that week
All these years and I just realized that they spun around the fame game board and the Instant bargain were behind it!
My grandma would absolutely love those bird sculptures.
3 men are playing The new Sale Of The Century!
i love that sound effect
@5star555555555 Those were the shows toward the end of the series; NBC thought that re-making "$ale" as a couples game would boost ratings, and the revamped single level set was far less expensive than the original enormous bi-level department store-style set in Studio 8H. For the most part, "$ale of the Century" was originally played just like this version with three contestants and instant bargains, whose prices all ended with 95 cents. Jack Kelly of "Maverick" was its first host.
@ Joanna Smith: No disrespect to Sally at all but her sweet voice is throwing me off. I started watching in late 1984 or early 1985 as a seven year old and was used to Summer B.
And you've done an excellent job of keeping the tape in great condition... if I didn't know better, I'd swear this came from a studio master tape!
Umm, anybody else disturbed by the king sized brass crib at 0:19?
Agreed, and these three men were all playing for the win! Very aggressive gameplay from all of them.
I was a bit disappointed with this version, not because of the show itself and certainly not because of Jim Perry, one of the finest and classiest hosts ever to grace the airwaves. Usually the L.A.-transplanted versions of New York shows had really superior sets. That was not the case here. The original "$ale" was taped in Studio 8H (a.k.a., Peacock Theater) and had a monster two-floor set with the contestants and instant bargains on the top.
I never marked the airdate on the original tape, sorry.
Sally's voice is a bit too squeaky!
Sally's voice wasn't THAT bad! Got a co-worker, with the same squeaky voice.
I always loved that original display. Reminds me of a jukebox. As others have said, interesting to see three contestants all of the same gender.
The cue from 13:31 is pretty rad.
@Tubewings I taped it myself when it originally aired.
I love the music @ 3:50
Hey what year is this episode?
@Noveltooner I think another reason it switched to the couples format because at the time, Gambit, which was over on CBS, had couples competing, and it got fairly good ratings. I guess SOTC changed the format so they could compete.
April 1983 or earlier, since I've heard she was gone within the first four months
This is probably a Janary 1983 ep, cause Sally is still there, and there was no cash jackpot yet.
@estestim Which Sound Effect are you Talking about?
This must be from January or February, since Sally's still the hostess.
They should have never gotten rid of the famous faces on the Fame Game board.
At least they kept them during the entire Australian run.
You know, I'd like to hear some of those obscene limericks from Seth.
Just out of curiosity, va1k, did you tape this yourself, or did you get this in a trade?
This is a LOT better than that awful Temptation.. these players are actually wanting to conserve their money so they can buy the big prizes in the end game. At least they don't blow a $47 lead to buy something, like on one ep. of Temptation.
Fame Game Network Counter: ABC--1, CBS--4, NBC--4
around 1981
I don't remember Sally. Her voice is so annoying.
Not as good as the Nicholas Parsons version from Norwich.
