    Bill was still okay. He did get a clue on day one, and on days two and three, he tried to get one but missed. (Day 2, he probably confused Wintertime and Snowman. Day 3, it could have been "Shopping," but he just rang in too early. And yes, I know there was no sound during that round on these copies, but the late Michael Tiller of the Game Show Temple Archives has these three episodes separately, but in better quality, and thus no sound loss, as does Spencer Denison. That's how I know.)
    Which brings me to something else, did you notice in round two of day one, Bill would applaud for Marci each time she got a clue, but when he got one, he didn't even bother to applaud for himself? That does show humbleness, modesty, and good sportsmanship, doesn't it?

I think I also seen her on an episode of Wheel of Fortune later on. I wonder what happened with them and if they are living happily ever after. Congrats on the win!

    Chuck Donegan, a game show fan who uploads episodes on Dailymotion, has Andrea & Michael Foster’s three days in his collection. I know because his trading page lists it as “Three consecutive episodes from 1986 featuring Andrea & Michael Foster as they become millionaires.”
    What I’m getting at is that when the time comes that he uploads them, it'll be interesting to see if they are combined into one video like these or if each day is just an individual video, which is actually more common from what I've seen.

    I just realized something. Well, one of them I realized some time ago, but the other just now. Some time ago it occurred to me that Baton Rouge could have been one of the items for state capitals and it wouldn't have even been too many letters. Just now it occurred to me that the same thing is true with Carson City.

    The great thing about the nine couples that won $1,000,000 is that even though the show was cancelled in 1987 and Lorimar-Telepictures doesn't exist anymore, Warner Bros. (the company that currently owns all Lorimar-Telepictures and Lorimar Television shows) continued issuing the winning couples their annual checks.

    You know what's a little puzzling? (No pun intended.) On day two, Jim observed that Sandi got "Fight" with only one letter, but on day one, never pointed out that Cheryl got "Court" without any letters. Just an observation, that's all.

In fact, I'd see it every time I watched the intro to any Season 2 episode, showing the winning items from the previous season, with the exception of Andrea & Michael Foster winning with "Cycling." (They'd chosen Olympic Sports as their category.) I already knew that, but until recently, I never knew the name of the couple who won with "Cucumber."

    Sadly BIll and Cheryl divorced a few years after this show aired. Cheryl was on Wheel in 1989 and was still married to Bill then. Sometime after that, they divorced. Cheryl was interviewed by someone and she said that in reality, she wasn't a truck driver, she would just tag along with her husband and help him drive. She also said that they were told that the star key, which represented punctuation, was NEVER the stinger. Cheryl also said she hasn't talked to Bill in a very long time.

      Yes, I knew the star was never the stinger, and neither were the letters Q, X, or Z. I read about that on a fandom page talking about this show. (I understand about Q and X, but personally I don’t think Z would have been that bad a candidate, considering everything else that leaves, and not to mention by now, I have seen everything besides those four as the stinger at least once.)
