Candlepins for Cash - Part 2 

Candlepins for cash was without a doubt one of the funniest show ever on local TV. Anyone remember the guy who lost the ball bringing it back and it went into the audiience. Gramire could not stop laughing and neither could everyone at home.

The old 25 logo looked like it was in the style of the current, long time ESPN logo

Never grew up in the Boston area but looking at these shows brings back memories of how television was with real people.

Too bad Bob Gamere got into trouble in recent years, but this was classic for him.

9:50....Those glasses! That hair!

Glad to see candlepins

love those mom jeans

Christmas is coming up again soon, right? bahahahhaha Great question.

This isn't interviewing, it is interrogation! I used to play candle pins at the Lucky Strike Lanes in Dorchester about 40 years ago, used to go on saturday mornings, I think it was like .75 a set then. I watched this program alot also. The Johnson guy had a wicked baw-stun accent, haven't heard that in a while.

Why would he ask, "What was your single name?" Very weird looking back at it.

😂

what a waste of time made $9.00. cheapest pay out in a game show.

I had the worst crush on Bob "Two Beer" Gamere... The poor guy was in the news a few times for getting beaten up after having a few drinks and propositioning straight guys. We hooked up one night in the Fenway... end of crush. A drunken mess.

6:05--What's so funny about "Dingwell?" Obviously Bob had a few before the show ;-)
