How exciting Mr. Belvedere and Ilene Graff! Ever since I was a little kid, I've loved the TV show Mr. Belvedere so much! Brings back so many childhood memories of watching it with my family when it was ABC.
I always loved when they explained the rules or reversed themselves. It made the game seemed more casual unlike the polished edited feel of other game shows.
I thought Karin was intentionally trying to get buzzed out on "THANKSGIVING". That's a bouncer (a password that's almost always going to take two clues), and she knew if she said anything, that Mike would get it. Maybe I'm giving her too much credit, but it looked that way. Or at the very least; she was trying to think of the perfect one-word clue, and didn't MIND if she got buzzed out for time. This was the one flaw in the Super Password era for me; if you didn't give a clue, your opponent should get 2 chances, to prevent stuff like that happening.
Ilene Graff mentioned on the 12/19/1988 episode of SP that she co-hosted one of the pilots for an unsold game show called 20 Questions(based on a then released board game, not the same as the 50s show) with Mike Jarrett. Dick WIlson, comedian, not the Mr. Whipple guy, hosted another pilot.
Not quite. She has also made the rounds of the following game shows: "Double Talk" "The New Crosswits" "Blackout" "Win, Lose, or Draw" (not sure which versions) "Hollywood Squares" (John Davidson version) "The Finish Line" (Unsold Bob Stewwart pilot) "Match Game '90 (First week)
Oh mighty sound effects person (& Bert), you hit the wrong sound effect. Although it would be funny for them to use the illegal clue sound as the form-of-the-word sound during the game.

They are on about 6 days a week on antenna TV Mon-Fri 4PM-5PM CST
+James Bonnen I LOVE.... Antenna TV! It's the best! If only GSN could be like it... -_-
Bert Convey was ADORABLE!! 🥰

I wish Freemantle would bring back a version of this show AND DON"T MESS WITH IT like they did Card Sharks, Match Game 98
The networks used to do game show episodes for every weekday of the year. They taped five shows per day.
I wonder if they ever took Summer off and ran reruns
The Price is Right did, once it expanded to an hour.
RIP Bert Convy
From the screen shot, I was expecting a mustached Bob Newhart...
The end of a great year and the start of the best year in modern history.
Back on Thursday
That first puzzle of the episode, the judges were very nitpicky.
"Allstate" is one word.
Back on Friday
Mr. Butterfinger, Lol

How is pea soup bubbling?

Or just restore the "pass or play" option.
This probably has to be Ilene Graff's only non-Pyramid or Bob Stewart game show appearance.
Nope. She did John Davidson's "Hollywood Squares," too...
She was also on the David Sparks version of Crosswits
Very funny from 19:05 to 19:49.
You can tell Bert Convy was a little jealous or flabbergasted by what the contestant said regarding his wife at 19:16.
Bert, you walked into that one, but you were a good sport about it.
The contest avenged Bert's wife for him announcing her traffic violation. ☺️

"Upba Loonz" was the name of his Filipino cabana boy.
