The Bowling Game television show, Milwaukee WI, 9-1-1981 

I was 13 in 1981 and I loved this show. watching it with my parents. the good old days in Milwaukee

Thank you for this. It blows me away to see this tv show again after so many years. What a great slice of old Milwaukee!

Born in Cudahy, I grew up in Franklin, moved to Milwaukee/Greenfield off Ramsey Ave. off 27th street, then moved to Greenfield off Edgerton Ave. off 51st street. For 30 years I lived in this city and while I made some BAD friend choices, I loved the city itself. The Brewers, Bucks, the Admirals. I lived across from a player who back in the 70's kicked butt! Got to go back into the locker room after they won! It was epic! My grandparents moved across the street from us when I was 3 or 4. It was such a great life. TV was a huge part even then. The AWA All-Star Wrestling on Saturday mornings followed by this show if I remember correctly? It was a blast. I was 7 or 8 playing Hot Wheels on the floor or with my Mego Superheroes figures and this 🎶music🎵 came on! Again EPIC! Thanks for the great memories!

Wow! Talk about memories... My family watched this show all of the time. Bowling was such a big deal back then. And Milwaukee was a family town. I was fifteen in 81. Joined the Army and did 27 years on active duty. Upon retiring I returned to a very different city. To bad... Anyway, thanks for the memories.

Never thought I'd hear that theme again. Thanks for the upload!

This is the best. I remember watching this show when I was little.

Catch the Brewers action on TV18!! That commercial got me psyched up for Brewers baseball every time! Haha thanks for the memories!

At 29:40, the kids in the background start goofing off, the host then turns around and can be heard saying, "knock it off".

Suzie Petted, one of the competitors in this episode, worked in my grade school in West Allis, supervising us during lunch breaks. She was the sweetest woman.

Awesome memories! Very proudly born and raised Milwaukeean.

Grew up in Milwaukee watching this show. Fun to revisit those memories. And the commercials are fun to see too. Thanks!

I was only 7 but remember this show like yesterday, I remember Mash coming on right after on the old curtis mathis

Well guess like Press Your Luck wasn't the only show who got the "Sufferin Succotash" wrong. That is Sylvester the Cat not Daffy Duck.

It is back on the air in Milwaukee.

My dad & I always watched this show on WVTV Channel 18, (off 35th St.) especially when it wasn’t pre-emptied by Bucks or Brewers games.

God does this bring back the memories!

At 52:41, a savior appears and shares with mankind some wisdom about purchasing a van.

THis one of my favorite bowling shows.

i was 8 years old when this show was on i was a kid at the time

Talk about fun memories, I used to love this show, back in the '70's and early '80's bowling was very popular in Milwaukee and I was team captain bowler and big fan of the bowling game show.

I only recently became aware of The Bowling Game (via RU-vid), and am saddened I did not get the chance to watch each and every episode of this television program. Thankful for what I can view on RU-vid. (Wish it was still on television being a fan of bowling programs - particularly the older programs.)

I loved watching this show as a kid!!!

At the 36:00 mark, Lee says that your from Manistee Michigan one of the states on our cable network... anyone know what cable network Lee's referring to ir why the would be aired in Michigan? City

Wow. I grew up down the street. Milwaukee memories lol. The bowling game.

this was fun to watch

In Milwaukee, one of the promos have Saturday Night Live every day of the week on channel 18. Did WTMJ 4 air SNL on Saturday Nights? Unlike Detroit that WDIV (WWJ at the time) didn't air the first three seasons of SNL and aired it on WKBD 50, in Milwaukee the NBC morning game shows aired on WVTV instead of WTMJ. The other promos in this video featured were Barney Miller, The Muppet Show, Brewers Baseball, All In The Family, and Dance Fever. WVTV got the mirror ball presented by Bowser of Sha Na Na in the one commercial breaks which is in reference of Dancing With The Stars.

I love bowling but....only a 1-year use of a car for a 4-6 conversion??? (13:20). I mean, really... Prize should be a Rolls Royce to keep for good.

I don't get it. Why do they only bowl frames 7-10?

the lady in red was not a good bowler.

4-6-10 split conversion only gets you $20. Yet, if you just add the 7 pin to it, you win a prize in the thousands if converted.

@Ryan: That is the only episode I have. @deacon: That dude in the sunglasses is hilarious. haha

thanks i remember watching this hope they bring it back hopefully at holler house

the lady bowled a gutter ball on the first roll to start the show yikes

Wonderful memories. Thank you!!

Tom Kohl stole a ton of money and is now on trial.

This was a great show but most teams sucked.
