To Say the Least Bonus Game 

The exact broadcast date of this show was February 23, 1978 (the end credits have a voiceover promoting the debut of "Quark" the next night). This is the only episode other than the premiere of the show from October 3, 1977 that's in the game show trading circuit (a third episode from March 17, 1978 can be seen at the Museum of TV/Radio in NY).

Interesting show.

Some of the sound effects used were from the following: the bell from "Wheel of Fortune", the buzzer from "The Gong Show", and the beep from "Scrabble"...all from NBC.

Jamie has always been one of the better Celeb players in game show history, doesn't surprise me!

Yes, he's alive and well at age 80.

Thanx,haven't seen or thought of in 30 YEARS! Is Tom Kennedy still with us?

the times up sound from scrabble 1985

Go Jamie Farr!

I mean time to decide if you wanted to solve, use a letter you have or take more tiles

I should mention that the jackpot actually started at $2,000 and went up by $1,000 for every failed attempt. Even in 1978, $2,000 wasn't much in bonus round prize money-- $5,000 would've been a better starting point for the jackpot.

He should not have purged the word "assistant". He was lucky this time.

motre like the sound meaning you need to pick on of the 2 leters, 2nd sound

Wouldn't you like to see Tom Kennedy back on TV for one last game show?

dude was *too* lucky. to say the least is another of those rare finds. i thought it would be stupid but look at the ending!!!!!

He also done "Name that Tune", "Break the Bank", "Whew!", and his best show "Body Language".

how the hell did he guess that

Its not hard. you just keep taking out words until you have just one left for 5K.

it is a bit arbitrary. what possible one word would you keep to guess "deputy"? it's more match game than anything.

I dont like the scoring format it makes the first 3 rounds pointless, If I were to revive it: 4 words: $500, 3 words: $1,000, 2 words: $2,000 1 word: $5,000, if you failed at a level you could try again with the next celebrity but you stayed at that level.
