Pardo was the announcer, never the host, AFAIK. > I wonder if some kids believed everything was in shades of black and > white....after all, that's what was on TV. :P When I was young, and so was tv, I believed whatever was seen in that magic box was live and happening at that moment. And a lot of tv was live at the time. I was confused how a filmed show set in daylight could be happening since it was dark out, and vice versa. Maybe it was dark/daylight on the other side of town, I didn't know. I only knew the world around me and thought places like NYC and LA were near here somewhere. I finally learned better when I got older. I think around the time I was 20. > There was a big stink years ago, because the contestants constantly > picked Richard Dawson for the SuperMatch...but if Richard wasn't picked, he got angry. It was if every one of them had an ego that needed to be stroked. Richard was often picked since he seemed to match the contestant more often. Late in the show they brought in a large wheel with panelist names which was spun to get the other panelist more of a chance to be called on. Then shortly after Dawson left for Family Feud and the rest is history. Joe --- Platinum Xpress/Win/WINServer v3.0pr5 * Origin: Fido Since 1991 | QWK by Web | BBS.FIDOSYSOP.ORG (1:123/140) .
