So, here are 2 more skipped episodes we can identify: December 2, 1980: Marty vs. Lynn December 3, 1980: Lynn vs. Barbara Now for June 11, 1980, it should be Gee vs. Wendy, correct? then it'll be the battle of 2 champions. Correct...Just one minor note...Gee starts the show going to Alphabetics before going against Wendy.

Correct...Just one minor note...Gee starts the show going to Alphabetics before going against Wendy. With that, John Astin won the coin flip in that case so he played the Alphabetics with Gee. Also, with Gee partnered with Betty White in the next game, did Betty get the first option of the new game?

So, airing right now on Buzzr is Super Password from March 5, 1986. Here's just a piece that didn't make it onto the Buzzr airing - for obvious reasons:
Chad has it as April 1985, but their outfits don't match any single day from the week from that month where they were on.
When I saw Lauri and Pat as this episode's celebrity pair, it jogged my memory. (Her yellow-with-accessories outfit did too, I think.)

The outtake here is from the week of March 3-7, 1986, Pat(rick)'s hairdo is what gives the clue that isn't April 1985, his hairdo changed by July/August '85.

Did this air on NBC at the time? So, airing right now on Buzzr is Super Password from March 5, 1986.

As I said, it's specifically from March 5. Did this air on NBC at the time? I'd be kind of surprised if it did - though I don't know where exactly this footage would have come from. (I.E. How did Chad find it?)

Didn’t those bloopers come from Wink Martindale’s YouTube?

Didn’t those bloopers come from Wink Martindale’s YouTube? I don't know either, it can still be found on his XOTV channel where all of his past uploads are there unblocked and unaffected.

It's not XOXO, it's XOTV.

Just finished watching the Super Password TOC today. It had previously aired on BUZZR in 2016, and this time around, it was interrupted by by a bunch of fresh episodes. (I actually missed capturing the final on my DVR, but found it on YT!). Some quick facts. - There were eight champions separated into a single elimination bracket. - The Cashword was not played during the TOC. - The quarterfinals consisted of a single game (i.e., first to $500, first puzzle = $100, 2nd = $200, etc.) - After each quarterfinal, the winner played a Super Password round worth $2,500. - The semi-finals and finals were each "best two out of three" games. - After each semi-final game, the winner played a Super Password round. - A Super Password round was NOT played after the first game of the finals (which were won 2-0). - The winner of the finals received a $25,000 jackpot, and then played for an additional $25,000 in a Super Password round. - The champion was Natalie Steele, who won the final $25,000 Super Password round, and amassed a total of $106,000 in all of her appearances. - After the final Super Password round, Bert Convy presented the champ with the actual cards from the puzzle she solved to win the finals. Bert and the celebrities (Dick Gautier, Shelly Smith) all autographed the cards. It was interesting to realize that there was no way to know exactly how many shows were going to be needed to complete the tournament, give the "best two out of three" games format of the finals and semi-finals. At the end, all of the puzzles during the final were solved quickly, after only 2 or 3 passwords were revealed, which finished the tournament more quickly. Also, during the credits of the final show of the TOC, Gene Wood announced a that the "Third puzzle was inadvertently revealed, and that it had been replaced, and the program had been edited." What a time for that to happen, with $25,000 on the line for the finals winner! Natalie Steele was the biggest Password winner ever, eclipsing Lew Retrum and Martha Peukert from the ABC era.
