01:04Let's welcome her back, Sandy Adelson.
01:05Hi, Sandy.
01:06Hi, Jim.
01:07Again, congratulations on winning the championship.
01:10Good player.
01:11Topped it off with dining room furniture,
01:13and you were doing some remodeling or something, yes?
01:15We're taking a two-bedroom house and turning it
01:17into a four-bedroom house, doubling its size.
01:19Oh, my.
01:19Then you're going to need some furniture then.
01:21Yeah.
01:21Nice to have you back here.
01:22Ready to go?
01:23I sure am.
01:23Good luck.
01:24Here to introduce the challengers is Summer Bartholomew.
01:26Hello there, Summer.
01:27Hi.
01:28Hi.
01:28How are you doing?
01:29Got some good people for us?
01:30Yes, I do.
01:32He has a very slow garden.
01:34From San Francisco, say hello to Tim McGee.
01:37Hello there, Tim.
01:38And she helps people achieve greatness from Bearfield, Iowa.
01:42Let's greet Melanie Brown.
01:43Hi there, Melanie.
01:44See you a little later with some bargain, Summer.
01:47Melanie, you've helped people achieve greatness.
01:49That sounds good, but what does that mean?
01:51Well, Jim, I'm publishing a book about personal greatness,
01:54about how greatness shouldn't just be for a very few,
01:56but for all of us.
01:57Yeah.
01:58So I'm hoping to help people.
01:59A little confidence in yourself and all right?
02:00Yes, I hope.
02:01I need a little right now.
02:02Oh, you're doing...
02:03I'm sure you'll do fine.
02:04And you flew in from Fairfield, Iowa to join us, huh?
02:07That's right.
02:07Nice to have you here.
02:08Thank you so much.
02:09Tim, who came in from San Francisco to join us,
02:11you have a very slow garden.
02:13That's right, Jim.
02:14I like to grow my own vegetables,
02:16and one of the biggest problems that gardeners in my area
02:18have is snails.
02:19Right.
02:20So after years of trying every method of getting rid of them,
02:23it finally dawned on me that these creatures are the same
02:25things you find on French restaurant menus.
02:28Right.
02:28So after a little bit of study into the matter,
02:30I turn from a vegetable gardener into an escargot rancher.
02:34Oh.
02:34So you make use of the...
02:36Just harvest them right out of the garden,
02:38take them into the kitchen.
02:39I have to keep them for a few days,
02:40feed them cornmeal and lettuce to, you know,
02:42make sure they're nice and clean.
02:43Right.
02:43Then you take the leash off the pets, and you're...
02:46Sure.
02:46That sounds terrific, Tim.
02:48That's very enterprising of you.
02:49Nice to have you here as well.
02:51Good luck to all three of you.
02:52$20 will start you all off.
02:53Let's get into the match with us.
02:55What long-time television star traded his pioneer spirit
02:58for angels' wings so he can travel?
03:00Sandy.
03:01Michael Landon.
03:02A highway to heaven.
03:02Michael Landon it is.
03:03Five dollars for the correct answer.
03:05Sandy goes to $25.
03:06What famous United States document is often called
03:09the supreme law of the land?
03:11Sandy.
03:12The Bill of Rights.
03:13Nope.
03:14Constitution.
03:15You lose five for the incorrect answer.
03:17Back down to 20.
03:18On what brass musical instrument do you play songs
03:21by moving the slide?
03:23Melody.
03:23Trombone.
03:24Trombone it is.
03:25See that, Melody?
03:25It's easy.
03:26You got your first five to 25.
03:28Thomas Edison's special definition of genius was
03:311% inspiration.
03:33Melody.
03:33And 99% perspiration.
03:35Yeah.
03:35You said it better than I did.
03:37You've had another five.
03:38You've got a 30.
03:39The French treat known as cafe au lait is made from Sandy.
03:43Coffee and milk.
03:44You've got them both and you've got five back on the
03:46plus side of 25.
03:48Well, that signal means it's time for an instant bargain.
03:50It is, of course, the player in the lead who can buy
03:52a bargain merchandise.
03:53Melody, you have a $5 lead over Sandy.
03:55Your first opportunity to buy.
03:57And we've got something I think you might like.
03:59Take a look at this.
04:00Melody, when it's time for romance, it's time for
04:04Jules Jurgensen's.
04:05His and her classic series diamond dial watches.
04:09Elegantly styled.
04:10His with 20 genuine diamonds and hers with 10.
04:13The classic series furnished by Jules Jurgensen.
04:16And it's normally priced at $425.
04:20But today on sale of the century, it shows for only $6.
04:24Oh, look at that.
04:25Nice.
04:27His and her watches, beautiful.
04:29They match.
04:30And somebody told me you are engaged, right?
04:34Well, I'm not engaged yet.
04:35But perhaps after giving these watches to my boyfriend, we could encourage him.
04:39Oh.
04:40Well, I hope I didn't put you on the spot there.
04:43My little car.
04:44See, we've got Cupid's over there.
04:45They put engaged on the card there.
04:47It's a good thing they didn't put married there, Melanie.
04:48But I tell you what, if you would get, all right, I'll help you out.
04:52I will knock the price down to five bucks.
04:54You'd be in a tie with Sandy.
04:55All right, I think she's now engaged.
04:57You got the watches.
04:58His and her watches for $5.
05:01Knock it off your score.
05:02You and your boyfriend will enjoy them.
05:04And you and Sandy now in a tie.
05:06Tim, just a question behind.
05:08On what popular TV action show would you find the character Higgins?
05:11Tim.
05:13Um.
05:15Played by actor John Hillerman.
05:17That's on Magnum TI.
05:19I know you know it, just couldn't quite come out with it.
05:20You lose five for the incorrect answer.
05:22Tim, down to 15.
05:23Pittsburgh, Louisville, and Cincinnati are all located along the same river.
05:27Tim.
05:28The Ohio River.
05:29The Ohio is right.
05:30You're back to the $20 mark.
05:31Tim.
05:32According to the classic Arabian night story, Sinbad acquired great wealth by making how many voyages?
05:38Tim.
05:39I think he made seven voyages.
05:40He did indeed.
05:41And we've got a three-way tie at 25.
05:43Yeah.
05:44That's the way I like it.
05:45Very close.
05:45And now we play the fame game.
05:47And for control of that fame game board, identify a famous fictional character.
05:53I am the heroine of a fairy tale mentioned in 16th century German literature.
05:58One of the variations of my tale pictures me as a household drudge.
06:02Sandy.
06:03Cinderella.
06:04You took a chance.
06:05A prince invites my stepmother and stepsister.
06:07You are right.
06:08Cinderella, it is.
06:09It paid off.
06:10You've got your control of the board.
06:11Where's the $10 money card, Summer?
06:13I'm in nine.
06:14And if you can stop the flashing lights on the $10, we'll add it to your score.
06:17We now lock into your buzzer, Sandy.
06:18Good luck.
06:19I missed it last time.
06:20Come on, $10.
06:21Come on.
06:22No.
06:22Lands on number four.
06:23What does she get?
06:25Draperies.
06:26Springcrest draperies with rounded cleats that hang straight side to side, top to bottom.
06:31Beautiful draperies furnished by Springcrest Drapery Center.
06:35Well, that'll help with the remodeling.
06:37I'm not going to have to buy anything.
06:39$400 worth of draperies.
06:40That'll help a lot.
06:41We've got a good game.
06:42Three-way tie.
06:43We'll get back to it right after this.
06:48Scoreboard tells it all.
06:49The three-way tie at 25.
06:51Let's get back to it.
06:52On your barbecue, what's the French word for the rotating spit you...
06:56Sandy?
06:56Rotisserie.
06:57To cook meat.
06:57That's exactly what it is.
06:58Rotisserie.
06:59You go into the lead by a question.
07:01In sports, what do the initials MVP?
07:04Melanie.
07:04Most Valuable Player.
07:05That's what it stands for.
07:06Melanie ties Sandy for first place.
07:08What medicine man and leader of the Prairie Sioux Indians made the preparations for the
07:13Battle of the Little Bighorn?
07:17Did the bell sound first, or can we accept the answer?
07:19No.
07:20The buzzer was first, so we can't...
07:21No, I'm sorry.
07:21You don't lose anything on that, Tim.
07:23Sitting Bull.
07:24Sitting Bull made those preparations, so we just throw that question out and go to
07:27this one.
07:27What do you call a new police recruit or a first-year...
07:30Tim?
07:31A rookie.
07:31Rookie is exactly right.
07:32And again, that three-way tie.
07:34Oh, and what a great place for a three-way tie, because it's time for an instant bargain,
07:38and we've got a lot of good things for you over here.
07:41Look at this.
07:42Hit your buzzer first.
07:43It's yours.
07:43For any one of you, you just may wind up with this instant bargain, a great clock collection.
07:50A variety of quartz clocks featuring a talking clock.
07:54Touch the top and it tells the time.
07:56Yours with a gift certificate from Gary's Beverly Hills.
07:59And it's normally priced at $600.
08:02Put today on sale of the century.
08:04It's yours for only $11.
08:07Oh!
08:08Father Chide, you almost knocked over a clock there.
08:11A whole bunch of clocks.
08:13We gave away watches the last time to Melody, but now a family of clocks.
08:18Only one of you can have it.
08:19I'd love for one of you to have it.
08:20So I'm going to start lowering that price.
08:23$10.
08:24$9.
08:24Hey!
08:25Okay, for $9.
08:26You got it, Melody.
08:27I've got a lot of time now, right?
08:29Worth that, Melody?
08:29I've got a lot of time now.
08:30That's right.
08:31You are set in the time department for $9.
08:33You've got $600 worth of clocks.
08:35We knocked the $9 off your score, of course.
08:37And less than two questions behind.
08:39It might be a good buy.
08:40You can come back.
08:41During the yearly festival of San Furman, what animals charged through the streets of Pamplona?
08:46Sandy.
08:46Bulls.
08:47In Spain.
08:47That is bulls indeed.
08:48Sandy.
08:48Sandy.
08:49Back into the lead.
08:50This sporting event, divided into six or eight chuckers, is played with...
08:54Sandy.
08:55Polo.
08:56Horses, balls, and mallets.
08:57You are right.
08:58Polo it is.
08:58Sandy to 40.
09:00Once called the Venice of the East, this Asian city is the capital and largest city in Thailand.
09:06Tim.
09:07Bangkok.
09:08Bangkok is exactly right.
09:09Nicely solved.
09:10Tim to 35.
09:11The rise and fall of ocean waters caused by the gravitational pull...
09:15Sandy.
09:15Tides.
09:16Of the sun and the moon are indeed tides.
09:18And Sandy to 45.
09:19What three initials are your written promise to repay a debt?
09:23Sandy.
09:24IOU.
09:25You got to meet everyone on the buzzer.
09:27Sandy goes to 50.
09:28Yes.
09:29You know, talking about IOUs and debts.
09:31Really, running into debt is not very bad.
09:34Really, that's not bad at all.
09:35It's running into your creditors that hurts.
09:41Our champion, Sandy Adelson, looking for a second track of the winner's board.
09:44She's got the lead right now.
09:46Sandy at 50.
09:46Tim at 35.
09:47Melanie has done some buying, not out of it at 21.
09:50Now the money card goes up on the board.
09:52Back to the fame game at a famous thing.
09:54I am a crop that dates back more than 8,000 years to the Aztecs.
10:00American Indians raised me before...
10:02Tim.
10:03Corn.
10:04Incorrect.
10:04Out of the rest of the question.
10:06We'll clear it.
10:06Continue for the ladies.
10:07American Indians raised me before the pilgrims arrived.
10:10My leading producers are now the United States, Russia, and China.
10:14All parts of me are useful.
10:16My lint makes textiles.
10:18My seeds.
10:19Sandy.
10:19Cotton.
10:19Cotton is exactly right.
10:21Yes.
10:22And Sandy again gets control of that board where the other money card is where, Summer?
10:27Behind the one.
10:28Well, Sandy, you've been missing those money cards, but you're getting control.
10:31And again, we lock into your buzzer.
10:32Good luck.
10:33Maybe I should think about hitting something other than a money card.
10:36Well, you got something other than a money card.
10:39What did you get?
10:40It's a sofa.
10:41The Lazy Boy Signature 2 Sleep Sofa.
10:45You may enjoy elegance by day and comfort by night.
10:48Furnished by Lazy Boy.
10:51$649 sofa.
10:52We are definitely furnishing an extension on the house, Sandy.
10:56Let's get back to it.
10:56Tim, you're back in now.
10:57All three of you with this.
10:59With what art form are the following names associated?
11:02Grant Wood, El Greco, Melanie.
11:04Painting.
11:04Painting is exactly right.
11:05Melanie goes to 26.
11:07The great female jazz vocalist portrayed by Diana Ross.
11:11Tim.
11:12Who is Billie Holiday.
11:13And Lady Sings the Blues is indeed Billie Holiday.
11:15And Jim goes to 40.
11:17From the Latin word meaning to order.
11:19What?
11:20Tim.
11:21I don't have a clue.
11:23Oh.
11:23What word describes a doctor's written instruction for preparing and administrating medication?
11:28That is, of course, prescription.
11:31Tim, I'm sorry about that.
11:31You lose five down to 35.
11:33That stretches Sandy's lead out to $15.
11:35And Sandy, we've got something really unusual.
11:39Look at this.
11:40Sandy, if you're stealing your oats, you'll want to buy this fabulous carousel horse.
11:46It's a reproduction of an authentic 19th century hand-molded fiberglass carousel horse
11:52in multi-colors and jeweled accents furnished by Corsican.
11:56And it's normally priced at $1,210.
12:00But today on Sale of the Century, it's yours for only $16.
12:06Wow.
12:06Well, I'm impressed.
12:09Are you impressed, Sandy?
12:11What do you think?
12:11I'm impressed.
12:12I'm impressed.
12:13Is part of the house that you're adding, is it maybe a family room or a game room or
12:17a game room or something like that?
12:18Oh, absolutely.
12:18Yeah.
12:18Wouldn't have one without a game room.
12:19Boy, what a conversation piece that would be in the house.
12:22That would really be nice.
12:24$1,210.
12:25You're laughing.
12:26Why are you laughing there?
12:27You wouldn't furnish your house with this?
12:29No?
12:31Well, Sandy, I'll tell you what then.
12:32Since several people tittered, I will do two things because of the tittering.
12:38I will lower the price to $15.
12:40You'd be in a tie with Tim.
12:42I was going to do that anyway.
12:44But in deference to the titterers who didn't think they would put it in their house,
12:49I'll give you $300 for anti-tittering.
12:52$1,510 bargain now for $15 going once.
12:56Going twice.
12:58And no sale.
13:03The titterers win.
13:13Sandy Adelson, a grown adult woman for some reason, didn't want a hobby horse, so she's
13:18got the lead.
13:20Sandy at 50, Tim at 35, Melody at 26.
13:22All the world's troubles flew out when this woman opened a box given to her.
13:27Melanie.
13:28Pandora.
13:28By the Greek gods.
13:29Pandora it is.
13:30Melanie just beats Tim with a buzzer.
13:31Melanie goes to 31.
13:33He went north for the Klondike Gold Rush of 1897 and struck literary riches with his novel.
13:38Tim.
13:39Jack London.
13:40The Call of the Wild.
13:41You are right.
13:42Jack London it is.
13:43And Tim kept a chance.
13:44It paid off.
13:44He goes to 40.
13:45An all-star performance of what type of dance might include Cynthia Gregory, Peter Martin,
13:50and Cindy.
13:51Sandy.
13:51Ballet.
13:52Ballet is right.
13:53Yes.
13:53You weren't too sure but you were right.
13:56Sandy has another five.
13:58Third and final crack at the fame game and the third and final money card goes up there.
14:02Big one.
14:02$25.
14:03And a famous person.
14:04I was born in Russia in 1840 and became the first composer from my country to gain international
14:11fame.
14:12I first studied law then switched to music under the guidance of Anton Rubinstein.
14:17My wide musical range extends from the tragedy of Symphony No. 6 to the spirited Mark Slav.
14:24Melanie.
14:24Tchaikovsky.
14:25Tchaikovsky is right.
14:26Well done.
14:27And Melanie gets control of the board for the first time today and three money cards to shoot
14:31for.
14:31Where's that third one?
14:32Behind the eight.
14:33All right, Melanie.
14:34We lock into your buzzer now.
14:35Good luck.
14:36I need a 25.
14:36Let's go 25.
14:39Here we go.
14:40No.

14:58Thank you very much.
14:59Now we finish up the game with a speed round.
15:01May I have 60 seconds on the clock, please?
15:03It is Sandy at 55, Tim at 40, Melanie at 31.
15:07But a lot of questions.
15:08Anyone can win it as we start the speed round now.

15:55Right.
15:56According to Plato, what island continent sank into the sea?
15:59Tim.
15:59Atlantis.
16:00Right.
16:00In which state can you travel along the waterway called Puget Sound?
16:03Tim.
16:04New York.
16:05Wrong.
16:05What kind of animal is the macaw?
16:07Sandy.
16:08A bird.
16:08Right.
16:09Off what continent's east coast would you find the island of Madagascar?
16:12Time is up.
16:12Sandy has won it again.
16:16That's been a champion in just an hour.
16:21And the only actress to win four Academy Awards.
16:24No one wanted to try it.
16:25Katherine Hepburn did that.
16:27And the city where you can attend the ballet at the Bolshoi.
16:30Very clearly the judge said time was up.
16:32And then I think right after that you said Moscow.
16:34And the one that cost him at least a tie and possibly he could have won with it.
16:38In which state can you travel along the waterway called Puget Sound?
16:41Puget Sound.
16:42No.
16:42Right up the road a piece.
16:44The state of Washington has Puget Sound.
16:46Gotta say goodbye to Melanie and Tim.
16:48And Melanie, a great stay with the his and her watches for you and your boyfriend slash
16:54engaged fiance.
16:56Also a family of clocks, all the appliances with the cash in front of you.
17:00A good one day stay.
17:01One thousand three hundred and fifty-six dollars.
17:04Have a great time.
17:05And Tim, boy you pushed the champ there for a while.
17:08Didn't pick up anything along the way.
17:09We thank you for a very well played match.
17:11Thank you Tim.
17:11Thank you for having me.
17:12But it is Sandy Anderson who again charged me at the winner's board.
17:15Come on Sandy.
17:19I'm not sure about the score or the way it jumps around.
17:21I can't see it too well there.
17:22But I think you could have won if he had said Puget Sound.
17:26He probably could have.
17:26And then you got another one after that to win it by ten.
17:29Again our congratulations.
17:30The hobby horse would have killed me.
