I remember on Press Your Luck in February 1984, a contestant named Darlene who mentioned on her first show she had seven kids all with names starting with D. For a long time, I was thinking that Darlene may have been on Bergeron's Hollywood Squares mentioning the same thing, and Tom mentioning her family having a "D fixation". I happened to see (and record) that particular episode on a mini-marathon on GameTV this afternoon, and the female contestant's name was actually Debbie, but both she and Darlene did have the same skin tone.

The contestant Doug, who's been on the Buzzr run of Classic Concentration the last couple of days, was also a contestant on "Your Number's Up". He won a car on both shows.

If it's Doug Post, he was also on "$25,000 Pyramid" in August 1984. He won $10,000 giving the clues to Elaine Joyce. During that round, one of the Winner's Circle category cards fell out.

Or was it Doug Branch, who was on Wheel of Fortune in the Winter of 1984?

Watching the first of six airings of Hollywood Squares on GameTV right now. Paige Green, who was on Press Your Luck in June 1986 - which GSN never touched - is the female contestant on that first Sunday broadcast of the day. I am recording it right now. So this makes two former Press Your Luck contestants not seen on GSN, aired on GameTV in the last two weeks, if on different game shows (the other being Dewey on Wipeout).
I did learn on the old, old GSN boards that Paige's Hollywood Squares appearance was skipped when GSN last leased the 1998-99 season from 2009 to 2011 or so. I wonder why this was the case?

I was putting some episodes of $100,000 Pyramid from 1987 to DVD just now and I noticed Natalie Steele, a contestant who appeared on Super Password two years earlier and won the show's tournament of champions.

Michael Friedman was seen on the second Buzzr airing of Classic Concentration today. Two years ago before that in 1985, he was about to win the lot, but lost to Alice Conkwright on the Syndicated Sale of the Century.

I'm catching up on Classic Concentration and in early-mid September 1987's episodes, I noticed Karin Hega (sp?), who appeared for 3 episodes. Before that, a year prior she was on Bob Eubanks' Card Sharks and busted twice in the money cards with some bad luck before getting just over $13k in the money cards the third time.

Renee Lackey won some cash on Card Sharks with Jim Perry. She got slaughtered though as a solo player on Blockbusters with Bill Cullen. Sorry to reply to an old post, but Renee also recently appeared on an episode of Match Game PM that Buzzr aired a week or two ago. IIRC, she did not win her game. Correct me if I'm wrong.
Also an interesting tidbit, you can add me (yours truly) to this list. I appeared as an "impostor" on To Tell The Truth hosted by John O'Hurley in September 2000 which had to do with Monopoly (won $1000 for stumping the audience) and again on Wheel of Fortune in January 2002 (solved all three toss up puzzles for a total winnings of $6000). I still have yet to convert my appearance on that from VHS to DVD.

Cliffy McGee is on today's airing of YPW edition of CBS Card Sharks, he was on Child's Play and even participated in the Turnabout end game and he later appeared on I'm Telling with his sister Melissa. Their mom appeared on Match Game immediately after Kirsty Alley.

The last few 12:30PM EST weekday airings of MG76 on Buzzr had Tommy Simmons, who won a few days on Face the Music and was a $100K tourney winner on Lange Name that Tune aired in April 1985, at least on KYW in Philly. He lost on today's airing on MG7x after winning $6550

I noticed on last Friday's airings of Combs' Feud on GameTV, one member of an African-American family, the Davis family, from July 1988, was named "Link." He does seem familiar, despite being called "Link", and wondered if it was actually the same contestant who was on Rafferty's Card Sharks in April 1987 (including an episode that had an educated guess question about a wedding dress Lacey was wearing), but named Lincoln. I verified the Card Sharks episode in question on YouTube during a commercial break - it was indeed the same guy. There was, however, one noticeable difference when he appeared on Combs' Feud - he sported a goatee.
When Lincoln appeared on Rafferty's Card Sharks, he kind of reminds me of Ted Lange, who played Isaac the bartender on The Love Boat.

Curtis was on Jeopardy and lost, BUT his airdate in January 1986 was the same as one of his episodes of syndicated $ale. In NYC, he was on two shows aired back on back on the same day, as syndie $ale aired at 4:30 right after J! at 4.
