The thing Joe loves MOST on this planet (sure sure wife and kids …) Old Game Shows and the thing Jacques loves MOST on this planet (comment censored) … old Sitcoms.
So when recently watching an episode of The Golden Girls … in which Dorothy ties out for Jeopardy (yes the great Alex Trebek AND Merv Griffen are on this episode) this send the boys down a rabbit hole which resulted in Joe’s Plex becoming a cornucopia of (mostly) sitcom’s in which one of the characters wound up on a REAL game show.
Starting with The Jackie Gleason Show in which the entire episode was a “Honeymooners” sketch where Ralph and Alice go on “Beat The Clock”
We have a hat trick of different sitcom’s crossing over with The Gong Show.
There are 8 billion people on this planet and 9 billion podcast … but only ONE which brings you a beat by beat breakdown of the October 3, 1986 magical cross over of the sitcom 227 and Wheel Of Fortune!
Yes, I DID say this is part 1 or … how many … let’s just say MORE then 2. You’re welcome ‘Merica.
Oh … the Golden Girls, Odd Couple and Mama’s Family (yeah, Mama’s Family) clips are used under the “Fair Usage” doctrine and we thank all for not suing us.
