Hey Jay KY, educate me on this. I stumbled on this after bottoming-out on Bowing for Dollars. Are these folks Milwaukee's best bowlers or were these PBA regional types? A couple of these guys looked like they could have toured regionally.
Honestly they're mostly buddies from work that bowled in house leagues in the area. Their sponsors are often their employers. They applied to be on the show and I believe had to win "off air" tournaments to get on TV.
It's incredibly wild how back in the 80s we were just spouting out people's addresses and names like it was nothing. These days that'd get people shot lol
Wish I could find more of 82 season airings. My Aunt bowled that year. Trying to find her episode. Anyone have a clue where I can go to try to find it please let me know
I so loved the theme!🎼🎵🎶🎵🎙📺 So many memories, so many wonderful times, family, and so much fun! Thank you for these videos and reminders of what was! 1980's in Milwaukee was so amazing! Great video sir! Well done!
Thank you for posting this! I'm not from Milwaukee, but I can see how great this show was. The perfect example of how local TV should be- fun and entertaining.
+pborkstrom My dad was Dick Trommer. I was in the crowd for all the matches. If you see the goony little blonde boy goofing around in the first few rows, that's me.
+Jay WI These have been so wonderful to see! My mother was present (also my grandmother, aunts, cousins...) for most of the matches. She was pregnant with me at the time. She is in the front row in the first video holding one of my cousins--he is the one who found and shared your videos with me.
+pborkstrom I'm glad someone else has enjoyed these. I wish the quality was better but the tape I pulled them from was in rough condition. Just happy I could get all of the matches off of it. If I come across anything else with Al Straus in it I'll ping you. I'm sure we have tons of pictures laying around.
