00:00Time to go reeling through the greatest television shows of all time on Couch Potato!
00:12Hi there, I'm Joe Alasky and hey kids, what time is it?
00:16That's right, time for me to get some new shirts and to meet my next-door neighbor and favorite host, Mark Summers!
00:28Hi there!
00:30It's the A-team!
00:31Hi, thank you! What a nice crowd!
00:36Thanks very much! Welcome to Couch Potatoes!
00:38It's the game focusing on the best of television, both past and present.
00:41You never know what shows might pop up back there on our screens, but, you know, we need people to play this game.
00:46They're our contestants. Let's meet the challengers.
00:48They call themselves the A-team, right over here!
00:54I would like you all out there in television land to say hello to Kevin, Rick, and Jim.
01:00And how you folks all get to know each other?
01:03We've been friends for several years and we're also musicians.
01:05We get together once a week or so and knock around on guitar, drums, and bass.
01:09Who's the drummer?
01:10I am.
01:10You are, and you're the bass player then?
01:12Mm-hmm.
01:12All right, very good.
01:13And the A-team means what? Anything in particular?
01:15Well, we're musicians, so we kind of like the theme song.
01:17Dun-da-da-da-da-boosh!
01:21Okay.
01:22And can we get an instant replay of that case of folks in Iowa missed that?
01:25Ready? One, two, three.
01:27Dun-da-da-da-da-boosh!
01:29Okay. All right. That's the A-team.
01:31Let's meet our chance. They call themselves the Mads Taters.
01:37Well, $8,750 is what you currently have.
01:41And in case you missed the show yesterday, folks, we found out that there is a Channel 1 on the dial.
01:46Well, we were playing the Channel Roulette bonus game, and Bruce was in just such a fit of excitement, he yelled,
01:51Channel 1! And we all sort of sat here and looked at each other for a second.
01:54But, Bruce, did you ever find out what was on Channel 1?
01:56Never found out, Mark.
01:57Okay. Well, hopefully you get a chance to see that today.
01:59Let's talk about the rules here on Couch Potatoes.
02:02We're going to be asking you anything and everything about, what else?
02:04Television. From daytime, primetime, even commercial time.
02:07And any time there's something on the tube, guess what?
02:09A Couch Potato will be there watching.
02:11Each round begins with a tune-in question.
02:13The team that answers correctly earns 25 rating points,
02:16and then they get control for the spin-off questions that follow.
02:20Whichever team has the most rating points at the end of the game gets $1,000,
02:23and then they go on to play our Channel Left bonus game for how much?
02:26$5,000.
02:28Okay, let's get started.
02:31Tune-in question for the A-team, as well as the Mashed Taters.
02:34Chip, Ernie, or Robbie, which of these is the name of Allie Lowell's son?
02:39Yes, Anita.
02:40Chip.
02:41Chip is right on.
02:42Kate and Allie.
02:42And that gives you 25 rating points and control on this spin-off round
02:47based on that series called Kate and Allie on the CBS Television Network, okay?
02:52Jane Curtin, who plays Allie, was once a regular on Saturday Night Live.
02:56Her co-star has been in several series.
02:58Who plays Kate?
02:59Yes, Kathy?
03:00Susan St. James.
03:01Yes, another 25 points on your side of the board.
03:05Can you name another series that Susan St. James has been in?
03:08Millen and Wife.
03:08Boy, you win.
03:09You don't win points, but you win.
03:10I don't know what.
03:11Okay, Bruce, Anita.
03:12Anita, when Kate and Allie decided to become roommates, they found an apartment in what
03:16hip part of New York City?
03:18Yes, Anita?
03:19Greenwich Village.
03:19That would be the answer.
03:20Greenwich Village.
03:23At the familiar position to be in here for the Mashed Taters, Bruce is waiting to answer
03:28question number three.
03:29And it goes something like this.
03:31Kate has had an on-again, off-again romance with a plumber named Ted.
03:35Allie has just remarried a guy named Bob Barsky.
03:37What does he do for a living?
03:40Yes, Bruce?
03:41Sportscaster.
03:41Boy, you're right again.
03:42You now have 100 rating points.
03:45A clean sweep for the Mashed Taters.
03:48And they do this often, A-Team.
03:49But you can jump in right now on this next tune-in question.
03:51Who knows what will happen?
03:52We'll all find out together right now.
03:54The pony, the aardvark, or the mouse?
03:57Which of these was a million-selling record for Soupy Sales?
04:01Yes, Anita?
04:02Yardvark.
04:03Yes, incorrect.
04:03It was the mouse.
04:04And that means you folks get control.
04:06Yeah, all right.
04:07No points are awarded.
04:09And we are going to ask questions about, it has to be one of my favorite shows, one of
04:13the reasons I'm in this business, the classic Soupy Sales show.
04:16And let's get started over here with the A-Team, okay?
04:18Has anyone seen my dog?
04:19Have you seen my dog?
04:30Your dog.
04:31Does he have one paw?
04:32One paw.
04:33And he has one more.
04:34And he has one more?
04:36And he's like nine feet tall?
04:38Yeah.
04:39And does he go, uh-huh, uh-huh?
04:41Yeah.
04:41And does he have another friend?
04:42He goes, uh-huh, uh-huh?
04:43Yeah.
04:44No, I haven't seen him.
04:47Check, please.
04:48Yes.
04:49All right.
04:50Anyway.
04:50Help yourself eat up, guys.
04:53We are, we are, he used to kiss you all the time, too.
04:55Yeah, yeah, yeah.
04:56And use his name.
04:57Don't kiss.
04:58Don't kiss.
04:58I said, it's not healthy.
04:59And he'd say, uh-huh.
05:01And I said, you mean you'll get used to it?
05:03He'll say, uh-huh.
05:04Okay.
05:05We're going to do a spin-off here in a second.
05:07Well.
05:07We're going to do some questions based on your show over here for the A-Team, okay?
05:11Okay.
05:12All right.
05:12You want me to give him questions?
05:13Yeah, we can do that.
05:13Okay.
05:14Otherwise, you serve no purpose standing here.
05:16You realize?
05:18Thank you for holding me.
05:19Yeah.
05:20Anyway.
05:20The dog we were talking about was, uh, you know, it was a black tooth, but the meanest
05:27dog in all the United States was another, was a, what was his name?
05:32The other dog.
05:32The meanest dog, yes.
05:33Oh, yeah.
05:34White Fang.
05:34That's right.
05:35White Fang.
05:36Yeah.
05:37All right.
05:37Look at that 25 rating point.
05:39And now that means that Rick and Kevin, uh, get this next question.
05:43Oh, yeah?
05:44Okay.
05:45Uh, also, let's see.
05:46I had a, uh, a puppet that used to go, hey, boobie, and his name was Pookie.
05:51Do you know what kind of an animal he was?
05:53Ooh, Pookie.
05:54Is that a pookie?
05:55Apparently not.
05:56Can you take it over here?
05:57Mash taters.
05:59Kathy?
06:00Lion?
06:00Yes.
06:01Pookie the lion.
06:03That's it.
06:04Oh, there's Pookie right there.
06:06That's, that's, that's, that's Pookie on the left.
06:08I used to do an impression of Pookie.
06:10Can I do a Pookie impression?
06:10Yeah, yeah.
06:12Yeah, yeah.
06:13Okay.
06:14All right.
06:15We're over here with the Mash taters.
06:16And Bruce and Indy, do you get this last question?
06:18Okay.
06:19Uh, I, I did a, a, a dance, uh, craze, a record, uh, called the, uh, Mouse.
06:26And it sold a million records.
06:27And if you didn't get one, you'd see me after the show.
06:29I have 900,000, 900,000, I have them up to my bones.
06:33And it was a mouse, which in, uh, in the, in the, in the 60s, can anybody tell me how
06:38the mouse was done?
06:39Demonstrate the mouse.
06:40Demonstrate the mouse.
06:41Can you do that, Bruce or Anita?
06:43Ooh.
06:45Time's up.
06:45Can you take it over here?
06:46A team, anybody demonstrate the mouse?
06:49Okay, uh, Rick.
06:50Time.
06:52No.
06:53That is not it.
06:54Who better to show us but Soupy, Soupy?
06:56Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
06:57That, you, you would push, you'd push your teeth out and weave your fingers by your ears.
07:01There you go.
07:02Sure, you're laughing, but it kept me out of the service.
07:07Oh, my.
07:10Well, at the end of this round, we find out that Mass Staters have 125 rating points, 25
07:13over here.
07:14I grew up on your show.
07:15Uh, I grew up in Indianapolis and my parents, uh, had relatives in Toledo.
07:18So I used to have breakfast with you, then I had lunch with you, and it's so thrilling
07:22that you're actually, I'm nervous here talking to you.
07:24Well, you're wonderful, and I love the show.
07:26I love it.
07:26Well, tell me about some of the behind-the-scenes stuff that went on on the program.
07:29Well, I think probably the, probably the most famous thing that happened was when I
07:33was suspended in 1965 because we had like a minute to go and the TV was live in those
07:38days.
07:39So they said, what do you want to do?
07:40We're coming out of a commercial.
07:42So I said, I'll ad-lib something.
07:44So when we came out, it was New Year's Day night around 7 o'clock.
07:47So when the camera came out on me, I walked up to the camera because I always worked very
07:52close, and I went, hey, kids, I said, last night was New Year's Eve, and your mom and
07:56dad were out having a good time, and it's only right because they work hard all year
07:59long.
07:59I said, they're probably still in the bedroom sleeping.
08:02I said, what I want you to do, I want you to tiptoe in the bedroom.
08:05Don't wake them up.
08:07And I said, and you'll probably see your mom's pocketbook on the floor and your dad's
08:11pants.
08:11Don't wake them up.
08:12I said, but I want you to go in your dad's pants and your mom's pocketbook, and you'll
08:15see a lot of green pieces of paper, and there are pictures of guys with beards.
08:20And I said, I want you to take all those green pieces of paper, and you put them in an envelope,
08:23and on the envelope, you write, Sufi Sale, Channel 5, New York, New York, and you know what
08:30I'm going to send you?
08:31What?
08:31A postcard from Puerto Rico.
08:34How much money?
08:35Did you get a lot of money?
08:36Yeah, well, everybody, we laughed, and we went home, and it was like you didn't know.
08:40Nobody in those days knew the power of television.
08:44We had $80,000.
08:46Did you really?
08:47Yeah.
08:48But the kids were very hip in those days, like they are today.
08:51I mean, we got, they sent in green pieces of paper and Monopoly money, but I did get a
08:55dollar from some 28-year-old girl who said, I've seen your show, and you ought to go to
08:59Puerto Rico.
08:59I want to tell you, a lot of the things that I'm doing today are responsible because of
09:04you.
09:05Thank you very much, Sufi.
09:06Sufi Sale, right in front.
09:07We're going to come back.
09:08We're going to talk more time to Cato right after this.
09:10Come down and meet these folks right over here.
09:16Ah, Sufi Sale.
09:17Everybody loves the soup man.
09:19Some very diverse personalities love the soup man.
09:22For instance, Rudolf Nureyev danced the mouse on the Ed Sullivan Show.
09:26Did you know that?
09:27And did you know Frank Sinatra himself, the chairman of the board, took a pie on Sufi's
09:31old program.
09:32And you know, he's taken a lot of pies in his lifetime.
09:35Me, I'm a comedian.
09:36Just once, just once, I wish somebody would give me a pie.
09:39I'd love to.
09:42You know, somehow it's not as exciting as I thought it would be, but we'll be right back
09:46after these days.

10:05ice cream.

12:06Before we play round three, if you're in the Fort Lauderdale area,
12:09Soupy's going to be down at the comic strip down there, and he's a super entertainer.
12:12Please stop down and see him.
12:13You'll have a great time, and I know you're going to really enjoy his humor.
12:16We're going to come back now and play round three.
12:17We're already here.
12:18Why don't we get started?
12:19This is where the stakes go to 50 rating points for each correct answer.
12:22A-team, you're a little bit behind.
12:23You could catch up, and everybody's going to play in this tune-in round.
12:27Diet Coke, Alka-Seltzer, or Cru-X.
12:31You see, I know what's coming.
12:32According to the ads, which of these would you try just for the fun?
12:36Yes, Anita.
12:37Diet Coke, yeah.
12:38Yes, it would be Cru-X.
12:39That's right.
12:41You see, Cru-X is for something entirely different.
12:43All right, you now have 175 rating points,
12:46and we're going to talk about the subject of TV commercials.
12:49Okay?
12:49Anita, Bruce, Kathy, for 50 rating points.
12:51According to the commercial, if you've got an upset stomach,
12:55how do you spell relief if you have to spell it?
12:58Yes, Kathy?
12:58R-O-L-A-I-D-S.
13:00Yes, you're right.
13:01Add another 50.
13:03Lily.
13:06Bruce, Anita, for another 50 rating points.
13:09No, it's not Morton Downey Jr.,
13:11but according to the ads,
13:12who is the loneliest man in town?
13:15Yes, Bruce.
13:16That would be the Maytag repairman.
13:17That would be right.
13:18Yes, another 50 for you.
13:22And here's another unusual situation.
13:24Anita is the last person to answer for the mashed taters.
13:26This could bring you up to 325.
13:28According to one sentimental commercial,
13:30what should you send when you care enough to send the very best?
13:34Yes, Anita?
13:35Hallmark.
13:35Yes, a Hallmark reading card.
13:37That's right.
13:38And you now have 325 rating points.
13:41Still just 25.
13:42You have some time.
13:43We have a couch up,
13:44but let's go to our fourth tune-in round right now.
13:47Dogs in Love,
13:49Gerbils in Pants,
13:50or Pigs in Space?
13:52Which one was a regular?
13:54Yes, Rick?
13:55Pigs in Space.
13:55Yes, that was a regular on The Muppet Show.
13:58That brings you up to 75 in our spinoff round.
14:03The subject is kids TV,
14:05and there's a little potatoette down there watching television.
14:09And this is 450 rating points.
14:11Good luck to Kevin, Rick, and Jim.
14:13On Pee-wee's Playhouse,
14:14every time someone says the secret word, something happens.
14:18Today's secret word is spud.
14:20I'll say the word,
14:21and you do what they do on Pee-wee's show.
14:22Ready?
14:23Spud.
14:25Yes, sir.
14:26That's right.
14:26Okay, we've got to scream.
14:32How old are you, Rick?
14:34How old are you?
14:3530.
14:3630, and that show is geared for kids about how old, Rick?
14:3931.
14:40Okay.
14:42Okay.
14:43Jim, Kevin, this question's for you.
14:45Captain Kangaroo was one of the first laid-back shows for kids,
14:48but nobody on the show was more laid-back than grandfather.
14:52Exactly what was he?
14:55Yes, Kevin.
14:56A clock?
14:57Yes, grandfather clock.
14:59Brings you up to 175, starting to make your move,
15:02and Jim, you can make it a clean sweep for the A-team.
15:05For some reason, this word is still uttered by California surfers,
15:08but originally it was the cry of Chief Thundercloud on the old Howdy Doody show.
15:13What's the word?
15:14Would bring you to 225.
15:16Dude?
15:17Dude is not it.
15:19Can you take it over here, mash taters?
15:22Anita, you're pushing there, but nothing's happening.
15:25Cowabunga.
15:25Cowabunga is it.
15:26You are right.
15:28Cowabunga.
15:28All right.
15:30Brings you up to, what is it, 375, I believe, is what that brings you up to.
15:35Where's it 325?
15:36Who knows?
15:36Well, gosh, we're going to find out.
15:38We'll add up all these things, but we're going to come back and play the couch-up round.
15:41I'll tell you what the real score is when we come back after that, all right?
15:43Well, howdy there, buckaroos and couch folks.
15:56Yeah, this is me, old Gabby Hayes, and we got some fantastic, tough trivia questions on
16:03the show today, ain't we?
16:05You're darn tootin'.
16:06Downright perplexing is what they are.
16:10Well, here's another real brain buster for you.
16:13What was the popular kiddie show that I hosted in the early days of the TV pioneers?
16:19No, not the Gabby Hayes show, you go-durn whippersnappers.
16:24It was the Howdy Doody show.
16:26Oh, yeah, me and Howdy, we go way back.
16:29Oh, hey, that saves them from being strung up once.
16:33And then you're back-talkin', sass, you cunt, churn, go-down, ornery owl hoots.
16:38We'll be right back after these words.
16:43I never knew how much I loved you till you went away.
16:50Have you seen my cat?
16:52I'd give up everything I own to have you back today.
16:57I miss you, you're my only friend.
17:00If I could hear your voice again,
17:03Lauren, I'll gladly give you my mind.
17:08You're found.
17:09I didn't know I was lost.
17:11For the one you've given me.
17:13Sam started running, not marathons, but he's taking his health more seriously.
17:21And so am I.
17:22I buy more fruit and skip the cookie aisle,
17:25and I've switched from mayonnaise to Miracle Whip salad dressing.
17:29It has 36% less fat, 30% fewer calories than mayonnaise, even low cholesterol.
17:36Plus, Miracle Whip has that tangy zip, and Sam takes that seriously, too.
17:42Make a change for the better.

19:24One member of each team is going to compete head-to-head on every question.

19:36Hit that couch-up, and the team which is behind can tie the score with a correct answer.
19:41You each get two chances to play, and the team with the most points at the end of play is going to be today's champions.
19:46The subject of this couch-up round is where it's at.
19:49I'll name the TV show.
19:50You tell me the city where the action takes place.

24:44Here's how the game is played.
24:46You're going to find out that behind each of these channel numbers from 2 to 13,
24:49you're going to find a picture of a famous television show of the past or present.
24:52One at a time, you'll call out a number,
24:54and without help from your couch mates,
24:55you're going to have to identify each show as it is revealed.
24:58Each show has a point.
24:59It's a value ranging from 100 to 1,000.
25:02And if you can accumulate 1,000 points or more within 30 seconds,
25:05I'm going to give you $5,000.
25:06There's one dangerous channel up there,
25:12and let's take a look at what it is.
25:15Channel 1.
25:16That's it.
25:17Channel 1, Bruce.
25:18No, that's Faye TV.
25:19You select that channel,
25:20you're going to lose all the points you've earned up until then.
25:22As long as there's still time on the clock, however,
25:23you can get those 1,000 points,
25:25and I'd like to see you do it.
25:26We're going to begin with Kathy.
25:27Where are we going to start today?
25:29Let's try 13.
25:30Channel 13.
