1!! For the GameShow:
2* SugarWiki/FunnyMoments:
3** December 31, 1971: One contestant was named Mitch Miller. Although he was no relation to the renowned bandleader, Creator/BillCullen couldn't resist asking him, "Have you been to the barber's, Mitch?" Then, the first set of categories in a new game showed up and caught the attention of all men present: "Hidden Talents", "Creator/SophiaLoren", and "Super Duper".
4** February 8, 1974: A pregnant female contestant was expecting her baby to arrive in "a couple of months", and Bill got her to be a little more specific — "February". Knowing they just exposed their taping schedule, Bill explained that the show was pre-taped and that the contestant would probably end up watching this episode air with the baby sitting on her lap.
5** From the same episode, Bill reads out the winners of a write-in contest about suggestions for conserving energy. The third-place winner advocates stopping the use of multiple TV sets and radios during sports broadcasts. Her prize? [[{{Irony}} A portable color TV.]] You can even see [[{{Corpsing}} Bill begin to crack up]] when the camera cuts to a picture of the prize.
6** Also concerning the contest, one episode began with Bill reading an entry. "Invest in a pair of long underwear." As Bill notes, that's literally it, and "[[{{Pun}} just like the ointment, there's a fly in it.]]" [[LamePunReaction The contestants proceed to boo over the pun]] -- "The contestants will refrain from booing the master of ceremonies!"
7* SugarWiki/MomentOfAwesome: On February 12, 1974, Fred Abrahams made an Instant Match with three hearts for the game ($5,000 in prizes), his seventh ''consecutive'' match ($5,000 cash and a new car), and his second entry into a weeklong Valentine's sweepstakes.
