I don't know where these are coming from, either but, it's so wonderful, again, to be able to see them. I was an early teen and, a car nut. I remember being excited, when possible prizes would be previewed and, one would be a new Cadillac(or, if-as I saw, once-somebody WON a Caddy)! I ask, again, am I the only one who found the 'close' memorable? Talking, about the music and, Mr. Edwards' exit and, finally, the studio, going dark.
AIR DATE, January 28, 1975. KNXT 2 I have access to newspaper archives and looked up the Charlie Brown Special 7:30 The New Treasure Hunt 8:00 Charlie Brown Valentine 9:30 Benjamin Franklin - Statesman Melvyn Douglas
Seen Monday nights at 7-30 on CBS 2 WCBS-TV New York. And at 10:55...that was the car that caused the woman to faint. That episode was seen on GSN a few years ago
NEPatriot Same too! It was on WCBS-TV (channel 2) until the mid 1970's, but the show returned in 1981 as "Treasure Hunt" when it was on WOR-TV (channel 9) where it has the same game as this one.
By the way, I live in CT, but in the NYC market. I saw a Game Show Wikia about The New Treasure Hunt including some old ads from TV trade magazines. It was seen in the Hartford/New Haven market on WHNB-TV Channel 30. The station now goes by WVIT, NBC CT.
22:17--Longtime Los Angeles television newsman Joseph Benti. He was among those on the air for CBS News in the immediate hours after Robert Kennedy was shot in June 1968.
wow...where are you finding all these(?) - are these mostly quad reels or Umatic tapes(?) - eventually you are going to turn up something real rare/desirable - like some appearance of some band that has been missing...or some missing episode of something.....
CBN showed most of the run of 70s Treasure Hunt circa 1983-84. GSN only aired a few episodes of the 70s version and about 60 of the 90 episodes of the 1981-82 version.
Whoa!! A 1937 Rolls Royce phantom 3 & a Mercedes Benz?! They were considered cheap because today?! OMG!! Do you how much a Rolls Royce & a Benz together would be now?! At least a couple of million dollars!!
By that point that Rolls Royce Phantom was nearly 40 years old. You can buy a 40 year old Rolls Royce now for under $50k. A new Rolls Royce now goes for around $300k. A good new Mercedes is just over $100k. So not quite a couple of million.
I've been waiting a long time 2 C other episodes of The New Treasure Hunt that I haven't seen since I was a kid. R U going 2 air other episodes of this show anytime soon?
KNXT (and now KCBS-TV CBS 2) L.A. & Southern California Airs "THE NEW TREASURE HUNT-A Chuck Barris Production (SONY PICTURES TELEVISION)" at 7:30PM PST Starring The Late Geoff Edwards & The Expired Johnny Jacobs as the Announcer on January 27-February 2, 1975 in Color.
Geoff Edwards and Chuck Barris, along with Mark Summers on Double Dare and What Would You Do, actually ripped off Soupy Sales' brand of jokes, puns and slapstick humor for these game shows of the '70s and '80s.
The late Geoff Edwards walking off stage while the theme music plays & the studio going dark was also somewhat memorable for me too even though I was like 2 or 3 years old when this was on tv.RIP GEOFF EDWARDS EMILE AUTOURI JOHNNY JACOBS CHUCK BARRIS NAOMI DEVARGOS & JAN MURRAY(host of the original 1950.s version)
Never saw this one, gonna love the closing music, because it was the instrumental version of the "Winner's Theme" from "True Grit" with John Wayne. I have not seen "True Grit" when this song was played. That closing music was from 1973 until 1977, but it was replaced by a different closing theme from the revived "Treasure Hunt" in 1981.
