Poor Monique (player in yellow space) posted this episode originally and it got canned. Sony needs to stop doing that to people sharing their episodes from when they were on!

This was a little more than two weeks after "Changing Keys" became the theme music of the show.

I was always under the impression that Changing Keys was introduced with the new syndicated version of the show. I didn't know that there is a small amount of daytime shows that predate the syndicated show but have the Merv Griffin music instead of the the Alan Thicke music. Very rare! Very interesting!

I believe this may be the episode after the debut of the 2nd theme, "Changing' Keys," by Merv Griffin, which recently returned to the show, albeit in a different arrangement. This was shortly before the syndicated version was launched. Knowing Merv, the change in theme music was possibly done to keep from paying Alan "Jason Seavers" Thicke double the royalties with the launch of the syndicated show.

That's exactly it Merv had plenty of his own music, having full control over its use and saving money. It also served as a new direction theme as Chuck, and later Susan, had left the show.

That changed when RSTLNE became automatic, and you added three consonants and a vowel in 1988. That brought the time down from 15 to 10 seconds.
