- Today Perry & Marcia try to take their final step towards television's richest prize $1,000,000. Can they do it? take a look.
I do not own any rights to this show, this is uploaded for entertainment and nostalgic purposes.
It's so cool to see my Dad on the show.
"I know, Perry, you're such a calm person." He was kidding, of course!
This is so cool to see my dad when he was younger.
@@prestonjohnson7385 I see, you’re Marcia & Perry’s son.
@@ScottNapolitan Nah just Perry's not marcia
@@prestonjohnson7385 I see. To be honest, I did have a feeling that was the case otherwise you most likely would have said "my parents" instead of just "my dad."
It’s not a fucking blue jay, Perry! I hope they used what they won to correct that unfortunate overbite. Yeesh. 😳
In other words, it probably would have been commercial-free between rounds one and two, but had commercials on every other break.
12:20 Sometimes I feel the same way about cold cereal for breakfast!😂🤣
28:22 is the prototype L-T “Tower” logo which was superimposed with the “Line of Doom” and the “Roller Coaster” with the fanfare completely. Unfortunately that didn’t last long until it was replaced by the L-T “Crashing Comets” logo where it remained until 1989 when it became WB Television.
11:50 I think Michael was just as surprised by Karen's decision as I was.
The $1,000,000 chance of lifetime. On Air Date-Wednesday February 26th 1986. Perry & Marcia on their 3rd day looking to win grand prize million dollars!! Taking final step in Bonus Round. Ran out of time on last word.
28:30
Pat: I'm Pat Sajak.
Vanna: And I'm Vanna White.
Pat: And we'd be happy to help that couple on the show you just saw make up for that tragic $1,000,000 loss by suggesting that one of those two should try out for our show, Wheel of Fortune. We have a million dollar space on our wheel so he or she would get a second chance to try for a million if the wheel lands on that space and he or she guesses a letter and it's in the puzzle and he or she picks up that wedge and he or she makes it to the bonus round with that wedge still intact. We're good people that way and we also show our contestants that there are no hard feelings if they don't win the million on our show either, especially since we still guarantee them at least $1,000 if they didn't score at all in the main game.
Of course, that's not what he really said in that promo, but since it came on right after Chance of a Lifetime was over, I thought it would sound quite fitting.
I always liked this game show. I wish it could of been on as long as Price Is Right and Jeopardy
Same here. I think a show like $1,000,000 Chance of a Lifetime is just like "Love Boat" and a film like "Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory": They basically give us something to dream about.
@@alexbarnes4900 Who wants to be a millionaire was the same but no money was on display though
@@danielr4640 Right. I was about to start senior year of high school when Who Wants To Be A Millionaire premiered on ABC
@@alexbarnes4900 I always admired Regis on that show. A good host
@@danielr4640 Right on. I have an autographed copy of his book, myself
Gotta hurry and get those Big Band Classics! LOL
Ah... KRON... how I miss the days when you were an NBC station when I grew up in San Jose and Santa Rosa...
That being said, it's a shame no cable channel aired MDCOAL in reruns.
Andrew Schroy As for the jingle, it used a variation of the Viacom "V of Doom" theme without hitting the last note.
This show was aired on Wednesday, February 26, 1986 (first-run); Friday, September 5, 1986 (reruns).
My 5th birthday was two days later. Go figure.
If Michael Tiller's copy of this episode, which never got uploaded to the GST Archives, was the same as this one, he most likely would have included all the commercial content, with the exception of that long infomercial for music CD's between rounds one and two. I remember one of his Community posts saying he planned to refrain from sharing commercials that included a bunch of copyrighted music.
OMG, I was just browsing through Jason Cranmer's list of episodes that he has of this show, each of which has an airdate listed, and given the fact that this aired on February 26, 1986, it aired exactly one week after Kim & George Britton's win, which aired exactly a week after that of Connie & Steve Rutenbar. Had Marcia & Perry won, that would have been three $1 million wins on three Wednesdays in a row. It still is, however, three $1 million attempts on three Wednesdays in a row, which means each couple's first day was on a Monday, thus kicking off a week. (And according to the list all three started off on a day on which both couples were new, unlike Cheryl & Bill Gilmore, who started off as challengers against returning champions Marci & Rudy Vulner, back for their second day.
If this show were to be revived, I think FOX should carry this show. But this time, instead of 3 bonus round wins, it would take only one. So, I came up with this idea for the bonus round money tree should the show ever be revived:
$1
$10
$100
$1,000
$10,000
$100,000
$1,000,000
So, it would take seven words within 60 seconds to win the million.
Well $6,025 is still a nice hunk of change though.
I remember this program very well. Why didn't USA network rerun this show? In fact, after it went off I don't think it ever came back in reruns.
seriously though the show was if i recall a weekly show. The fact that it only had a handfull of weekly episodes( even a short run daily series like Hot Potato had more than 65 shows thus it could be reran daily) made it difficult for USA to pick it up as an daily offering on its block. also as for the original run The market was already crowded with TV games and being a weekly as opposed to weekday series and the lack of clearance and resulting low ratings caused its demise, the Omnipotence of Jeopardy and Wheel the rise of new upcoming star-backed games like WLOD and a proposed Match Game (that obviously never panned out) and the rumor of a ultimate revival of Feud also stymied potential success so the producers decided to call it quits after season 2.

This show was NOT a weekly series. It was daily.
You know what I make of this? That each day, it may not be the categories themselves necessarily that become more difficult, but more the chosen items. I’d never even heard of sapsucker nor cockatoo until I watched this for the first time.
Looking at Perry's face when the categories showed up, I don't blame him. Jim does warn the winning couples that each successful bonus victory the categories get more difficult. This was supposed to be the most difficult of answers.
26:29 - (The Gauntlet of Villains from “Whew”): “TIME’S UP!”
AAAWWWWWW!!!!!!! What a terribly close loss!!!
Just 1 word away.
A few seconds more...
The 4th and 5th words really were the stinkers.
A heartbreaking loss!! 😭💔
Craig Foye But a heart-lifting last laugh for Karen and Michael!
A few seconds more and they would've guessed "Pelican" and won the $1 Million ($40,000 a year for 25 years). The fireworks and pyrotechnics would've gone off, but that was not to be. Oh, well...
It sure was. It really hurt to see them fall short.
@@ThunderFist1978 The fourth and fifth words scream, "Yeah you ain't winning the money!!!!"
For my Dad
This game show was like a cross between Wheel Of Fortune and Scrabble to me.
The KRON-TV ident at 0:00 sounded a lot like the Viacom “V of Doom” without the final chord.
Marcia didn't have much passion or excitement in her voice when she solved at 11:13
Karen blurted the puzzle answer out.
I wonder if "The Sting" was among the items for Paul Newman Films on their first day.
Prior on hosting $1,000,00 Chance of a Lifetime, the late Jim Lange hosted game shows like, The Dating Game, Spin-Off, The Hollywood Connection, and Bullseye.
also the 100,000 name that tune
What a stinker in the bonus round...the fourth and fifth words were the killer words. UGH I have not heard of those birds.
Wow . Do you have any other Perry & Marcia episodes . I think I remember this episode from the late '80s . Thank you !
If so, I know from reading a hobby site that on their first day, their opponents (both couples are brand new) are Pat & John, and on their second day, their challengers are Jill & Glenn.
Brian, I understand you were Michael Tiller's biggest trader, so it's a safe bet you've heard the tragic news. Our deepest sympathies should extend to his loved ones. He'll be missed in the game show community.
Michael's trading coliseum says this episode was in his collection, but it never went up. I'm just curious, did he get it in a trade with you?
Do you have any more of these episodes? My parents were in an episode I'm trying to find. Don & Loretta vs Lyn & John.
I do have that episode.
@@BriSchwa82 oh wow! It would mean a lot to me if youre able to share it. My mom passed when I was 18 and I don't have any videos of her, just photos.
@@ksgillen Here it is. th-cam.com/video/E6paJQsceC4/w-d-xo.html
There's also Perry Como and Perry King. (As in guys with Perry as a first name.)
This was uploaded on my nephew's 6th birthday!
I wonder what it would have been like (I know it didn't actually happen, but still...) if Johnny Gilbert had been on Bullseye, another Jim Lange show.
There is one other Jim Lange-hosted show I can think of Johnny Gilbert announced-- The Hollywood Connection.
I remember when I was a kid, I was jumping and reacting to the TV where contestants are trying to win a million dollars, but I was heartbroken when they lost it and ended up with over $6,000 instead of a million. That brings back memories.
That's the risk you take when attempting to be as Robin Leach once put it in the mid-1980s, "the rich and famous".
This category list for the third and final step was supposed to be the most difficult of them answers. I looked up Boxing Terms, there's a lot of unusual words. American Composers there's a lot of them and some I have not heard of. The answers were really stacked against Perry and Marcia.
@@richardhernandez4490 Its so cool to see my dad when he was younger this is awsome.
0:01 to 0:00 she was about to say 'pelic.a..' but it was too late.
So close..... Only if they had more time!!! Some words they took so long for took away some time!!!
Short
It’s NOT “BLUE JAY”!!!!!! 😂😂😂
Sourced from then-NBC affiliate KRON-TV in San Francisco.
And from WOR-TV (channel 9).
If I had been on this episode, I would have gone with boxing terms for the bonus round.
Me too. Either that or American Composers, since I'm a Music fan, myself
@@alexbarnes4900 I looked up both of those categories: they had some unusual names and terms...Day three the categories are the most difficult.
02:23 I is 1, V is 5 and X is 10 in Roman Numerals.
Why did your tv get old
Ouch.
Long time no see
The Grammys happens every year.
BLUE JAY!!!!!!!!!
The Granmy Awards happens every year.

Okay, I take it you're very bust right now. You haven't responded to a single one of my comments. I've seen you respond to other people, but that's most likely when you're not as busy. I'm not trying to rush this, but I'm also not trolling or spamming, I'm just asking some friendly questions and trying to bring one or more episodes of this show to your attention that I'm hoping to find again.
NOPE DID NOT DO IT
I've been to Hearst Castle.
