00:14And here's the star of Blockbusters, Bill Cullen.
00:20Bill Cullen!
00:22Thank you all, thank you.
00:24Thank you.
00:26Hello there.
00:27Thank you.
00:28Hi there again.
00:33Hello there.
00:34Thank you.
00:36What a nice...
00:39Please.
00:40You are very...
00:42Thank you very much.
00:43You're very kind and I'm going to spend the next 28 minutes
00:46proving that I do not deserve that applause.
00:48This is Blockbusters.
00:49You know what we do here.
00:50Solo player competes against a family pair
00:52to see whether two heads are really better than one.
00:54We're in the middle of a game when time was called
00:56and our solo player was leading.
00:58But first of all, let's re-meet our people.
01:00Ladies and gentlemen, our solo player thus far, $1,200,
01:05Carla Moss.
01:06Welcome back, Carla.
01:07Hello.
01:08How are you?
01:09I'm fine, thanks.
01:12Fill us in on a little Carla Moss lore, Carla.
01:16Well, my children are just about getting out of college
01:20and I went back also to UCLA
01:23and I'm in the landscape architecture program.
01:26You went back after being out for how long?
01:28Oh, we won't quite tell the years, but it's been a few.
01:31Well, I will tell you this, I admire you for going back
01:34and happy to have you back here with us, Carla.
01:35Thank you.
01:36Let's say hello to our family pair.
01:37They are a sister team, Valerie Fishman and Diana Fishman.
01:40Welcome you two.
01:44You're the captain, Valerie.
01:46Why don't you tell us about you?
01:48Okay.
01:49I'm a nurse and we're out here from Jackson, Michigan.
01:52And I've gotten into the California scene a little bit.
01:55I've come up with some of the activities, skating and jogging.
01:58And getting sun, I can see.
02:00Yeah, I can't go home without a tea.
02:02Not indeed.
02:03And how about you, Diana?
02:04Hi, I'm also from Jackson, Michigan.
02:05I'm a child development worker
02:07and I've also gotten into jogging
02:09and we're enjoying ourselves out here.
02:11Okay, let's pick it up where we started.
02:12Carla had one game won, $500.
02:14First team that wins two games, wins the match,
02:16goes on to our gold run board.
02:18Now, we're going to pick up right in the middle.
02:20There you see the configuration.
02:21Red is our solo player.
02:22White represents the family pair.
02:24We're going to take a C question
02:25because that's where we left off.
02:26Everybody ready?
02:27The moment you think you know, hit your buzzer.
02:29Question coming.
02:30What C is a kind of a restaurant or a...
02:33Yes, Diana?
02:35Cafe?
02:36Nope.
02:37I repeat the whole question now for Carla.
02:39Carla, what C is a kind of a restaurant
02:41or a Liza Minnelli hit?
02:44Cabaret.
02:45Cabaret is it.
02:46That was the second part.
02:49Congratulations, you have won the game.
02:52There you go, our solo player.
03:04Solo player picked up right where she left off.
03:07Carla, that didn't take long, did it?
03:08One question and that was it.
03:09Oh, it's a thrill.
03:11It is a thrill.
03:12That's your second game that you've won?
03:13Yes, thank you.
03:14Diana and Valerie, we thank you very kindly
03:16for coming by to Blockbusters.
03:17It was our pleasure.
03:18Thank you.
03:19Get some more of that sun
03:20and we have some very nice consolation prizes for you.
03:22Thank you.
03:23We'll be back here to give Carla
03:24our shot at our gold run board in a moment.
03:26But right now,
03:27cut to my life of a serious thing.
03:28Thank you.
03:37Well, Carla, when you get right down to it,
03:40this is really what it's all about.
03:42You picked up $1,000 in winning the game,
03:44which was pretty good,
03:45but now you're going to get a chance
03:46to add $5,000 to it.
03:47You ready to go?
03:48Oh, I sure am.
03:49All right, wait till I press my button.
03:50Come on over here,
03:51we're going to give you a chance
03:52to play Gold Run for $5,000.
03:53There you go.
03:55Good luck being fast.
04:00Carla, you know how the whole thing works.
04:01The idea is for you to answer the questions
04:03as we pose them.
04:04The initials are up there
04:05and it's up to you to make a path
04:07connecting the gold to the gold.
04:08There you see one right there.
04:09The moment you do that,
04:10if you do in 60 seconds,
04:11$5,000 is yours.
04:13If you miss, we throw a block up.
04:14You should be able to work your way around it.
04:16Okay, take a deep breath.
04:18Now the clock will begin
04:19when you tell me,
04:20you start at the left,
04:21work to the right,
04:22when you tell me where you want to start.
04:23There's the 60 seconds.

05:09I don't keep records in my head,
05:10or for that matter,
05:11much of anything else in my head.
05:13I do know, though,

08:51thereby, I am informed,
08:52pronounced Yama.
08:53The fellas, the llamas,

09:52Look at the family pair.
09:53They got white all over the board.
09:55Where are you going now, Vicki?
09:56We'll go back to T.
09:57Okay, the letter T.

10:41Good block.
10:42Where are you going, Carla?

11:00Chris and Tracy are the other two.
11:05Where to, Vicki?
11:06We'll go to the R.
11:07And if they get the R,

11:09because the connection will be complete.
11:11Carla, to block again.
11:12Question coming for the game.
11:14What R was the older daughter

11:41Chubby is the right answer,
11:42family.
11:43There it goes.
11:46Where to, Frankie?

11:51they win the game.
11:52Family pair going for a win.
11:54Carla again going to block.
11:56Here it comes.
11:57What N was originally
11:59thought to be caused
12:01by a weight pressing on someone
12:04as they slept?
12:07Carla?
12:08Neuralgia.
12:09Nope.
12:10I'll repeat it now.
12:11For either Frankie or Vicki,
12:12it could be a game-winning repeat.
12:13What N was originally thought
12:15to be caused by a weight,
12:17and please don't help,
12:18pressing on someone as they slept?
12:22Frankie, Captain?
12:24Time.
12:25The answer is nightmare.
12:27Nightmare.
12:28That was a long time ago,
12:29like 1947 or something.
12:32Come up with another N question,
12:33and with it again,
12:34the family pair can win it.

12:48What N gave the English
12:49a tough time in 1066?
12:53The Norseman?
12:54Nope.
12:55The answer,
12:56Normans.
12:57The Norseman came before,
12:59and Napoleon considerably after.
13:01Another N question.
13:03By golly,
13:04I'm not going to run out
13:05of N questions.
13:06Everybody ready?
13:07Again, the family pair could win it.
13:08What N is the fuzzy surface
13:10of some fabrics?
13:12Or Carla to block?
13:13Nap.
13:14A brief sleep.
13:15Nap is the answer,
13:16and you block.
13:19Look at that board,
13:20if you would.
13:22Well, Carla?
13:23G, please.
13:24If Carla gets it,
13:25she, after all this,
13:26will win the game.
13:27If the family pair gets it,
13:29they, after all this,
13:30will win the game.
13:31This has to be a winner.
13:33Question coming for the game.
13:35What G is a comic strip cat?
13:39Or our 20th president?
13:45Vicki's going to take a chance.
13:47Gallagher?
13:48No.
13:49I'm never good at history.
13:50He was our 24th president,
13:52I believe.
13:53Ike Gallagher.
13:56Coming to you, Carla,
13:57for the game.
13:58Carla, what G is a comic strip cat?
14:01Or our 20th president?
14:02For the game.
14:03Garfield?
14:04Correct.
14:05You have won the game.
14:15Our solo player pulled that out.
14:17After being way behind,
14:19you pulled it out,
14:20thanks to Gallagher.
14:21Carla, you won the first game,
14:23$500.
14:24And now, if you're ready,
14:25we're going to be getting
14:26into game two now.
14:27This will be it for you, Carla,
14:28if you want.
14:29I'll tell you what,
14:30give you a chance to rest.
14:31We will pause here
14:32because along about now,
14:33cash is getting short for us,
14:34so we'll go pick something.
14:44Okay.
14:46That was a good game.
14:48I like that game.
14:49Our family pair had it
14:50locked in there,
14:51and, Carla, you kept
14:52throwing blocks up,
14:53and you kept an opening.
14:54That's the reason
14:55we were so proud
14:56of that board of ours.
14:57It was a good win.
14:58$7,200.
14:59$500 for the game.
15:00You have $7,700 now,
15:01and Frankie and Vicki,
15:02you got the ideal.
15:03Let's see if you can't win this one.
15:04Ready to go?
15:05Game two.
15:06Going to begin with this one
15:07with the letter C.
15:09Here comes the question.
15:10What C was once
15:12Mrs. Xavier Cougar?
15:14Carla?
15:15Charro.
15:16Charro is right.
15:17You have Xavier, I guess.
15:18Let him do the exercise.
15:22So the C goes to the solo player.
15:24O, please.
15:25Letter O to make
15:26that top-to-bottom path.
15:27Question.
15:28What O has more people
15:30than any other Canadian province?
15:33Carla again.
15:34Ontario.
15:35Ontario is the right answer,
15:37and boy, you're on a run.
15:40S, please.
15:41Letter S.
15:42Question.
15:44What S was Lauren Bacall's
15:47to have and have not character
15:50or country singer Whitman?
15:57No one tries.
15:58Time is up.
15:59The answer is Slim.
16:00She played.
16:01Lauren played Slim
16:02and Slim Whitman, the singer.
16:03We come up with another S question
16:06for the taking.
16:08What S is a cocktail
16:10or an attachment for a motorcycle?
16:15Carla?
16:16Sidecar.
16:17Sidecar is the right answer, yes.
16:20Boy, did you go...
16:21Well, here you...
16:22What are you going to do now?
16:23R, please.
16:24Naturally, the letter R.
16:25I always let you name it,
16:26the player name it.
16:28This could be it
16:29unless Frankie and Vicki
16:30come up with a block.
16:32Possible game and match
16:33for the solo player.
16:34Question.
16:35What R is a late-night flight
16:39or for the game?
16:42Red Eye.
16:43And the match.
16:44Congratulations, Carla.
16:45You did it.
16:47Carla did it again.
16:52The full question,
16:53what R is a late-night flight
16:55or a cheap bottle of whiskey?
16:57That was the other definition.
16:58Red Eye, of course, was it.
17:00And, Carla, you did it once again.
17:03Congratulations.
17:04Thank you.
17:05Frankie and Vicki,
17:06you have a chance
17:07to win the match.
17:08Congratulations, Carla.
17:09You did it.
17:10Congratulations, Carla.
17:11You did it.
17:12Congratulations, Carla.
17:13You did it.
17:14Congratulations.
17:15Thank you.
17:16Frankie and Vicki,
17:17you played well that first game
17:18and then sort of went
17:19into a little slump there.
17:20Yeah, we did.
17:21We thank you both
17:22for coming here
17:23and we have some very nice
17:24consolation prizes, okay?
17:25Thank you.
17:26Stay right there
17:27and rest for a while.
17:28We'll be back
17:29to give Carla Moss
17:30a chance at another $5,000
17:31on Gold Run,
17:32but right now,
17:33if you'll listen,
17:34here's what's ahead.
17:39Let's play with me today.
17:43Carla, you've done all right.
17:46Thank you.
17:47You have done all right.
17:48I don't suppose,
17:49because you've waited
17:50so long to go back to school,
17:51I don't suppose you're
17:52on a scholarship, are you?
17:53No.
17:54No.
17:55But this is going to help
17:56your own little scholarship.
17:57Oh, it certainly is.
17:58$7,002 plus one, $8,200.
18:00You ready to try
18:01to pick up another five?
18:02Yes.
18:03If that's how that is,
18:04I will now push my button
18:05as we watch Carla Moss
18:06try to win another $5,000
18:08on Gold Run.
18:09Okay, Carla.
18:11Good luck.
18:12Now just pick up.
18:14Well, Carla,
18:15certainly this is your
18:16third trip up here,
18:17and you did amazingly well
18:18that last time,
18:19so you know how this works.
18:20The idea is for you
18:21to connect the gold to the gold.
18:22You call out the initial.
18:23I'll read the question
18:24that goes with it.
18:25Answer it,
18:26and you get a gold hexagon
18:27in there.
18:28Make the connection.
18:295,000 big ones.
18:30Put the clock up there
18:31alongside of Carla.
18:32There it is.
18:33Carla's the one on the right.
18:34The number 60
18:35is the one on the left.
18:36It will begin counting down.
18:38The number 60,
18:39not Carla.
18:40The moment you tell me
18:41where you're going to start.
18:42Good luck to you, Carla.
