If you listen closely to Don Gillis you can still hear a bit of his Nova Scotian accent. Loved this showed watched it with my Dad all the time. Actually went to a few tapings at Sammy White's back in the day.
I always wanted to watch cartoons when it was on but my father wouldn't let me because he wanted to sleep through it. If I changed the channel he would wake up and yell at me and say "I was watching that" and make me turn it back. The trick was to lower the volume then change the channel and put the volume back really low. I do have a lot of memories of the show as a kid.
Tom Olszta is easily the greatest candlepin bowler I've ever seen. I watched this show religiously growing up and saw them all but Tommy was clearly better than the rest
Good to see the old days on here, i worked with brians dad at leda lanes in nashua years ago and went to school with brian, great guy, but tommy olsta is the legend of bowling in New England
If it was allowed I would have forfeited the rolloff for the#4 seed and took the #5 seed. Why waste an 180+ game like Holbrook did for the right to bowl last??
keeping the head down allows the bowler to look at the dots on the foul line, which is an excellent way to line up your shot. Almost all 10 pin bowlers "spot" bowl.
I play spots. I tried learning to play the pins with my head up but couldn't get used to it and have been bowling candlepin for decades. Granted, my head is not as far down as McKinleys but it works for me.
@@markabraham2367 I use it too. My grandfather showed me how to do it and I found that better than keeping my eyes on the pins when approaching for my shot. Anytime I make a mark I point to the sky in honor of him.
Yes it's a real sport. Same lanes and almost the same rules as regular 10 pin bowling. But it's just mainly in the northeastern United States. Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire mainly.

Old commercials are amazing
My dad was a camera guy for this show. Loved it when I was a kid
Tom Olszta is easily the greatest candlepin bowler I've ever seen. I watched this show religiously growing up and saw them all but Tommy was clearly better than the rest
Dan Murphy is right up there with Olszta as well.
@@williambarnard1763 not even close.
@@bigbadbruins1 I disagree but we can both have our opinions.
Mr Holbrook is still going strong at age 63
I miss these days
I just watched a video with these Johnson and Holbrook teaming together from this year. Both were still really good too. Amazing!
Good to see the old days on here, i worked with brians dad at leda lanes in nashua years ago and went to school with brian, great guy, but tommy olsta is the legend of bowling in New England
I wish more places had candlepin bowling. So awesome
Marijauna didn’t bring me here, but it sure kept me here haha
Olzsta was the best.No one is even close.
What a nail biter of a game on the Johnson/McKinley match
1:22:19 That is SICK.
my grandfather winning another 10k lol not suprised
You have any proof of that claim?

Odd that the 2nd best player would lose to the best player by THAT MUCH.
So they wipe their ball, their shoes, and their face with the same towel???
Yup. No germ worries back then. Built up our own immunity. Not like wimpy 21st century .
Oleszta had a 3 fill on that spare in the second box against McKinley not a 4
If it was allowed I would have forfeited the rolloff for the#4 seed and took the #5 seed. Why waste an 180+ game like Holbrook did for the right to bowl last??

mckinley head down poor approach
keeping the head down allows the bowler to look at the dots on the foul line, which is an excellent way to line up your shot. Almost all 10 pin bowlers "spot" bowl.
@@Pronzini1 yes but this game is different trust me lol

Olzsta is good, real good, but Gary Carrington is LEGEND!
olzsta is one of a kind amazing bowler
Carrington is only a legend in his own mind.
Yeah this guy is on crack. It's Olszta and the rest.
Slow the F down.
Is this a real sport? I must have been in hibernation during this time... OK.
