00:00This is the battlefield for our game of speed and strategy.
00:04These are the letters which lead to victory on Blockbusters!
00:10And here's the star of Blockbusters, Bill Pellin!
00:19Oh, Jamie. Boy.
00:26We got a beginning.
00:28I'm sitting on my microphone wire. One second, please.
00:32Oh, boy. We have a beginning of a whole new dynasty here.
00:35I don't know if you've been with us lately. In case you haven't,
00:38our champion, Jamie Bransdale, is really running it up.
00:42She's defeated ever so many family pairs, and so far she's won $21,800.
00:49That's all right, Jamie. Boy.
00:51Great.
00:54Your husband was with you last show, right?
00:56Yeah, he's up there. I think he's the one that's been fainting a lot.
00:59I was going to say, I bet he's excited when he sees you up here doing all this, huh?
01:02Yeah.
01:02What's his name? Did I ever ask?
01:03Eric.
01:04I never asked Eric's name.
01:05I got the name of the kids. I never knew about it.
01:07What's Eric do?
01:08Eric is a real estate appraiser.
01:09Real estate appraiser? Is he big with bunnies?
01:12Oh, sure.
01:13Sure. Listen, there's a little good luck bunny you see in the picture there.
01:16Well, you know what happened. You've won the last match, the match that just ended as we went off the
01:22air last time.
01:23And now it's time for you to come up here and do it, so let me push my button.
01:27Jamie Bransdale is going to take a shot at another $5,000 here on Blockbuster.
01:34There you go.
01:36Well, you've been up here before. You know how it works.
01:39Piece of cake.
01:39Piece of cake.
01:40Yeah, the idea is that, well, this piece of cake is start over there on the left side and make
01:44a connection of egg yolks across the board there.
01:47And the moment the connection is made, you win the $5,000.
01:50You have 60 seconds in which to do that.
01:53If you miss, we put a block up.
01:55That square goes blank.
01:56And then you have to, if you can, work your way around it, which you've done a few times.
02:00There would have been two times, I believe, that you haven't gone all the way through, which you picked up
02:04an extra 800 anyway, so it's pretty good.
02:06That's okay.
02:06Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Put a 60s up there. It is indeed.
02:10The clock will begin when you tell me where you want to start.
02:13Good luck. Go.
02:15P.
02:16Has the capital of Islam bad?
02:19Islamabad.
02:21Pass. GW.
02:23Paralyzed by an assassin's bullet?
02:27George Wallace.
02:28That's it.
02:29M.A.
02:29Wife of Louis XVI.
02:31Marie Antoinette.
02:32Correct.
02:33G-O-M-M.
02:34Early Glen Camel hit?
02:40Pass. P-O-W.

02:57Pantomime party game?
02:59Charades.
03:00That's it.
03:00You did it.
03:01You're 16 left.
03:03Congratulations.
03:05Well, I'm glad you did that.
03:11I'm glad you got through there because I took a little of your time by having to repronounce
03:15Islamabad.
03:16However, if that had happened, it did not affect the outcome.
03:19A few extra seconds would have been added on the end there.
03:22But you didn't need them because you had 16 seconds when you ended up.
03:25You did a real great job.
03:26What did you miss there?
03:27Oh, you missed the-
03:29Me?
03:30What did I miss?
03:45Ralph Edwards is also unhappy about this.
03:47Of course, I know them both, and Ralph deserves to be unhappy.
03:52I'm kidding, Ralph.
03:54City in New Mexico, T-O-C.
03:56Truth or Consequences?
03:58Named after that Ralph Edwards show.
04:00Absolutely.
04:01Which Bob Hilton now does.
04:02Takes all over the country.
04:03We'll be back while Bob Hilton gives me a few bucks for that announcement.
04:07In the meantime, would you watch this, please?
04:15Jamie Bransdale rolls along.
04:18Pretty darn good, Jamie.
04:20$26,800.
04:22Eric's up there in the audience somewhere making out a shopping list.
04:26Things he's going to do.
04:27Where are you, Eric?
04:29There you go.
04:29Hi, Eric.
04:30Good luck.
04:31Congratulations.
04:32You two are doing a good job.
04:33Hey, let's say hello to a nice family pair.
04:35We have a very handsome father and son team.
04:38The father is Warren Warkas.
04:40Is that right?
04:41That's correct, Bill.
04:42And the son is Lee Warkas.
04:43Welcome to both of us.
04:44Happy to have you here.
04:48You two do make a very imposing couple.
04:51You look like a chairman and co-chairman of a board of something.
04:54What do you do, Warren?
04:56I do a little bit of everything right now, Bill.
04:59I've recently retired.
05:00Uh-huh.
05:01So I'm catching up on many of the little things that have been put aside over the years.
05:06For instance, what for you?
05:07Well, I've been putting together some of the things around my home.
05:13Uh-huh.
05:14And that's where I've been spending a good part of the time.
05:16Putting doors back on.
05:17Yeah, things like that.
05:19We intend to get to that around our place, too.
05:20Putting holes in the wall and then calling it a door and things like that.
05:23Yeah, I know what you mean.
05:24Happy to have you, Warren.
05:25And Lee, how about you?
05:27What are you doing?
05:27Well, I'm a computer salesman, Bill.
05:30Uh-huh.
05:30And I live in Upland with my family, including two dogs.
05:34Two dogs?
05:35Oh, yeah.
05:36And one thing that you might appreciate, I'm currently enrolled in a learning to fly program.
05:41Oh, you are?
05:42Doing such things as stalling the aircraft and trying to hold my stomach together.
05:48Oh, that's all right.
05:49Do you enjoy it?
05:50Oh, yeah.
05:50Absolutely.
05:50It's a marvelous way to spend your extra time.
05:52It's getting a little crowded up there.
05:53Yeah, it's just a little bit.
05:54Yeah, but if you go out where there's no one around, you can have a lot of fun stalling
05:57out there.
05:57That's all right.
05:58I used to do it intentionally and sometimes unintentionally.
06:00No, not...
06:01Jamie, what kind of dog is that you have again?
06:04Michonne Frise.
06:05Did you ever hear one of those, Lee?
06:06No, I haven't.
06:06What kind of dogs are yours?
06:08A Yorkshire Terrier and a Cairn Terrier.
06:10Well, see, I know them.
06:11I mean, I don't know the Yorkshire or the Cairn, but I know Terriers.
06:13You know how this works, don't you, Warren?
06:15Sure do, though.
06:15Lee, you're familiar with it.
06:16You've got a good champion here, so you'll have to be on your metal.
06:19You sure do.
06:20That's with a T type thing.
06:21Okay, go start this game with the letter M.
06:24Letter M, answer starts with M.
06:27Here's the first question.
06:28What M is the meat generally found in Ireland's classic Irish stew?
06:34Jamie.
06:35Mutton.
06:36Mutton is the right answer.
06:37Absolutely.
06:38You did it again.
06:41All right, Jamie, where to?
06:43D.
06:43Letter D.
06:44And, of course, Warren and Lee are going to try to stop you here.
06:47Here comes the question.
06:48What D was a car made by Chrysler or was the Spanish...
06:55Yes, Lee?
06:55Dart.
06:56Nope.
06:57Repeat it now for you, Jamie.
06:59What D was a car made by Chrysler or was the Spanish explorer who discovered the Mississippi
07:03River?
07:04Dakota?
07:05I don't know.
07:06Oh, you were saved there.
07:07Oh, I know.
07:07De Sota.
07:08Fernando De Sota, as I live and breathe, if I think I recall.
07:12Anyway, nothing happens.
07:13We come up with another D question.
07:15See how we do with this.
07:16Moment you think you know, hit the button.
07:18What D is a city in France or a spicy mustard of the same name?
07:29I am surprised.
07:30Dijon.
07:31I see the bottom.
07:31D-I-J-O-N.
07:32My favorite mustard.
07:33Is it your favorite?
07:34And I bet De Sota...
07:35I bet De Sota's your favorite car, too, isn't it, Warren?
07:39No, not that one.
07:40I'd like to have an old 1935.
07:42So would I.
07:43Polish it up.
07:44I'm with you.
07:44If you ever find one, we'll work together and refurnish it.
07:46Okay.
07:47So if anyone sees an old 1935 De Sota, or is it a soda, come up with another D question.
07:54These Ds are great, aren't they?
07:55Absolutely.
07:56Here comes what D is a city in Nevada, or what a hunter might use to lure his game?
08:09Jamie.
08:10Decoy.
08:10Decoy's the right answer.
08:11We got three of the Ds.
08:13There you go.
08:17Well, I hope I never see another D.
08:19I'd rather C than be one.
08:21Where are you going?
08:21P.
08:22All right.
08:23P question.
08:24What P was a pop recording group, or are Hugh Hefner's sexies?
08:30Yes, Lee?
08:31Playmates.
08:32Now we're cooking.
08:33Playmates is the right answer.
08:37The Hugh Hefner's sexy centerfold girls, the answer Playmates, and the recording group
08:41Playmates, incidentally, I know you all remember, their big hit was Beep, Beep.
08:46Right.
08:48Right here.
08:48Beep, beep.
08:50That's what a De Sota does when it sees a bottle of Dijon on the highway.
08:54Family pair got up there, and now they're going to try to make their way across the board.
08:57Where are you going, Lee?
08:58Let's try the N, Bill.
08:59Okay.
09:00N coming up here.
09:01What N is Gerald Ford's home state?
09:06That's Lee again.
09:07Nebraska.
09:08Correct, Lee.
09:09Nebraska's the right answer.
09:10Here we go, our fan right there.
09:14Now where?
09:16I'm going to go with a B this time, Bill.
09:18Okay.
09:18Letter B.
09:19B question.
09:21What B is a kind of dog, or is Sugar Ray Leonard's occupation?
09:27Jamie.
09:28Boxer.
09:29You're a sports fan.
09:29Boxer's the right answer.
09:33You're pretty big on sports.
09:34You do very well on sports questions.
09:35Where to?
09:36S.
09:37Okay, see now, Jamie's going to start a, well, no, she's not going to start a new line.
09:40She's continuing her old one, which is okay.
09:43You want to try and block Warren and Lee.
09:45What S comes from the Old English meaning the steering oar side, or is...
09:51Yes?
09:52Starboard.
09:52Starboard.
09:53Starboard is the right answer.
09:54Starboard.
09:54You got it.
09:57Or is the nautical term for the ship's right side?
10:01So, there's where you are, and where are you going now, as if I don't know.
10:04E.
10:05E is what she picks, and you better block her, fellas.
10:07Here comes the E question.
10:08What E are the long poems of Homer and Lee?
10:13Epics.
10:14Epics is the right answer.
10:15Good block.
10:16Very good.
10:17Very good.
10:17Very good.
10:18And the long movies of Cecil B. DeMille.
10:21Epics is the right answer.
10:23Where to, Lee?
10:23The O, Bill.
10:24Hey, that was a pretty darn good block you guys threw up there.
10:28O, question coming.
10:29What O has the ability to regrow an arm if it is cut off?
10:35Jamie.
10:35Octopus.
10:36Octopus, right answer.
10:37Starts out with eight of them and replaces them just like that.
10:42Well, now.
10:43F.
10:43Letter F.
10:45Okay.
10:46Question coming.
10:47What F is a long, tapering champagne glass or a member of the woodwind?
10:54Jamie.
10:55Flute.
10:56Flute.
10:56Woodwind family.
10:57Flute is the right answer.
11:00Look how close she is.
11:03G.
11:04Okay.
11:04The letter G.
11:05Gentlemen, again, you want a block.
11:07And a block here would be good because you could use that to score through.
11:12Question.
11:13Answer starts with a G.
11:15What G is a kind of bread, beer, Warren?
11:21Ginger.
11:22Ale or snap?
11:24Ginger is the right answer, Warren.
11:25Good luck.
11:26Good luck.
11:30Boy, Warren came through there in the veritable nick of time.
11:33Where are you going, Warren?
11:36Let's try the letter T, Bill.
11:38This is a big T.
11:40Take a look at it because if Warren or Lee, our family pair, gets it, they win game one.
11:45If Jamie gets it, she wins game one.
11:47And it's $500 no matter what.
11:49Here it comes.
11:51What T is the Mississippi town where Elvis Presley?
11:59Jamie.
12:00I don't know.
12:02Repeat it now.
12:03It gives you some thinking time over there.
12:05What T is the Mississippi town where Elvis Presley was born?
12:10Put up your hand if you want to take a shot.
12:14Okay, Lee.
12:15Tulane.
12:16Nope, time.
12:16Tupelo.
12:17T-U-P-E-L-O.
12:18Did I say that right?
12:19Tupelo, Mississippi.
12:21Okay.
12:22Oh, that was close.
12:23No, it wasn't.
12:24It wasn't close.
12:25It was exciting.
12:25That's what it was.
12:28It was very exciting.
12:29It wasn't close at all.
12:30I mean, no one got it.
12:31That's exciting.
12:31It was close that I was able to say it right.
12:34We come up with another one of those exciting T questions.
12:37And again, the team that scores wins the game at $500.
12:41T.
12:42Here we go.
12:43What T is a loudspeaker designed especially to reproduce the high notes?
12:51For the game.
12:52Tweeter.
12:52You did it, Lee.
12:53Tweeter's the game.
13:07Congratulations, Lee and Warren.
13:08You did a good job against a very fine.
13:10That's the first time anyone's won a game from you for a while, Jamie.
13:13You're doing okay.
13:14So, Lee and Warren, you have $500.
13:16If you win another one, that's $1,000 and a shot at the $5,000 on Gold Run.
13:21Now, you just sit back and relax, all three of you, because we're going to stop right now
13:24and go out and collect some money.
13:25Bob, go get some money.
13:31Okay.
13:33Well, now, family pair came up here and won themselves a game and have $500.
13:39And now we play game two of this match.
13:41Jamie will be trying to tie it up.
13:43And, of course, Warren and Lee will be trying to win the match.
13:45So, pretty good one.
13:46Hang in, everybody.
13:47We're starting this with the letter C.
13:50Here comes a question.
13:52What C are lawyer's tongue, pincushion, and saguaro?
14:02Who's going to take a chance?
14:04Cats.
14:05No?
14:06Okay.
14:07You get a shot at it, Jamie.
14:09C, lawyer's tongue, pincushion, and saguaro.
14:12Don't anybody help?
14:16Cactus.
14:18Cactus.
14:19I like cats.
14:21George cats.
14:22Here comes another C question.
14:24These C's are beginning to look like the D's we had in the last game.
14:27This is a good one, though.
14:28Someone will get this.
14:29Here comes a C question.
14:30Everybody ready?
14:31What C is idle talk or is...
14:34Yes, Jamie?
14:35Chatter.
14:35Teeth do if it's cold.
14:37Chatter is the right answer.
14:38That's right.
14:42She puts those together pretty quickly.
14:44Where are you going, Jamie?
14:44J.
14:45Letter J.
14:46J for Jamie.
14:47Question.
14:48What J is the Japanese word that means the gentle way and is a form...
14:56Jamie?
14:57Judo.
14:57You're putting them together right.
14:59That's absolutely right.
15:03And is a form of unarmed combat.
15:07Okay.
15:07Our solo player, where to?
15:09D.
15:10All right.
15:11Don't let her get a run on you guys now.
15:13Because if she wants to get going, she's gone.
15:16Here comes the D question.
15:18What D were big band brothers, Jimmy, Warren?
15:25Dorsey.
15:25And Tommy.
15:26Dorsey's the answer.
15:28Yeah.
15:31Okay, Warren, where are you going?
15:35Let's try the B.
15:36Letter B.
15:37For Bill.
15:38For Bill.
15:38Thank you, Warren.
15:39All right.
15:40I need all the help I can get.
15:42Remember when Tommy Dorsey and the band used to play at the Meadowbrook?
15:45Do you remember hearing those broadcasts?
15:46Oh, yes.
15:47Yes.
15:47I used to announce some of those.
15:49You did?
15:49I did indeed.
15:50I just thought I'd mention that.
15:52Thank you for the applause.
15:55Back to the question, and the answer begins with a B.
15:58Answer begins with a B.
15:59What B is the Massachusetts University named for the Jewish social activist who is a member
16:06of the Supreme Court?
16:13Everyone's being cautious.
16:15Brandeis.
16:16Justice Louis Brandeis.
16:17All right.
16:18We're going to call a halt to the proceedings now.
16:20Be back with another B question in a moment.
16:22There's our board and our situation right now.
16:24Would you kindly watch these words?
16:33So we'll pick it up where we were.
16:37This is game two of the match, and the family pair has one, you see represented by the white,
16:43the solo player, the two by the red.
16:45And a B question had been chosen and missed, so I come up with another B.
16:48Everybody ready?
16:49Here comes another B question.
16:50What B is a book publisher or a small chicken?
16:59Yes, Warren?
16:59Bantam.
17:00Bantam is the right answer.
17:01Those are the family picks.
17:03Sure.
17:05Bantam books and Bantam chickens.
17:07Where are you going, Warren?
17:09The letter P, Bill.
17:11Okay, letter P.
17:13Oh, boy.
17:14Here comes the P question.
17:16What P is a hunting dog or...
17:20Yes, Jamie?
17:21Pointer?
17:21Four singing sisters.
17:23Pointer is the answer.
17:24That's right, Jamie.
17:24Good block.
17:28Okay.
17:29Okay, the M.
17:30Sure.
17:31Get part of your connection there.
17:33Here comes an M one.
17:34What M precedes money, dog, magazine, and...
17:42Jamie?
17:43Mad.
17:44Hatter.
17:45Mad is the answer.
17:46It goes to Jamie.
17:47Solo player again.
17:50It's going to be H.
17:52The letter H.
17:53You fellas have to block her here to save this game and to keep a path open.
17:57That's the way the game works.
17:58So, it's an H question, and if Jamie gets it, it's $500 for Jamie in a tied match.
18:03Here comes.
18:04What H received 400 books and 780 pounds sterling from a Massachusetts minister in 1638, so they
18:16named the school after him?
18:20Warren.
18:20Harvard.
18:21Harvard is the right answer.
18:22You blocked, Warren.
