And I remember seeing the show on Louisville’s WHAS for its first season and Louisville’s WAVE for its second season and on Lexington’s WTVQ for its entire run! And I also remember seeing The Lange version of Name That Tune on WAVE every weeknight at 🕢 right after NBC Nightly News with Tom Brokaw.
Thanks so much for sharing this. I haven’t seen this show in decades. It seems the Sandy Frank shows must have a rights hang up as this show and Name That Tune have never been on GSN or Buzzr.
For those who make th remarks about the “crazy” contestants......I was one of them and they wanted the crazy antics. In fact one of the contestant coordinators came over to me during the taping and said I had more talent than anyone else, but I wasn’t being chosen because I wasn’t exuberant to Enough! Ron loved the banter! I know that because after my appearance I worked on the show as a music coordinator?
Thank you for the insight! I hear how that goes: long ago I tried out for a game show. Passed the written test and then played a run through against 2 other contestants. The contestant coordinator told us to really go after each other; be nasty! It didn't make sense to me, watching a guy I'd never met suddenly rip into a woman he also didn't know. We did 3 rounds - I got the right answer twice and a third round no one won. Needless to say, I wasn't picked because I was "too concerned with the game." The show lasted 2 months.
I'm wondering if Ron paying Tommy Oliver a dollar not to play the "Face The Music" theme a subtle joke that this possibly was the last show of the series, as it wasn't picked up for the fall of 1981, being replaced with Rich Little's "You Asked For It" and F. Lee Bailey's "Lie Detector," both of which were Sandy Frank Productions?
In the previous episode, the band had played a song (poorly in Ron's judgement) and made a joke about it. Throughout that episode in a slow moment, or in response to something Ron said, the band would play the song again. At one point, maybe after the third time, Ron looked into the camera and said "it just doesn't get any better!" The comment about not playing the song again was due to that.
@@deputay I loved the episode when Tommy played the clue song badly and Ron said "well some of the was band playing it, I don't know what the rest of them were playing."
It wasn't so much found as I finally transferred the tape - I recorded it decades ago and as you can see the quality was not what it once was... I did have part of another somewhere but I don't think it was complete. Tape might have run out (remember those days?!) - will look for it!
Just found another episode that the tape did run out after the start of the episode...opening pretty much the same and this time Ron doesn't give Tommy any grief. But...nothing really worth uploading unfortunately.
