I know I'm late to the party, but this is AWESOME! Thanks so much for sharing it. Any chance you have access to any more of the 1980 episodes? I was actually a performer on one them and have been trying to find it online or elsewhere for more than 20 years!

@@ssVHSFlashback-ei2xv Well, DANG. I was hopin'! Back in the early-to mid-2000s I actually went so far as to track down Don Galloway's personal web page, which amazingly also included his personal email address, so, I inquired to him directly, telling him who I was and asking if there was any existing source at the time where I might seek to purchase copies of 'The Guinness Game' episodes. I can't remember exactly what he said - and that email is long gone now - but I'm pretty sure he said that he had no idea where to even look for anything like that back then, so I remember being pretty disappointed. And at that point, I don't believe there were ANY clips of the show posted on KZitem, so you REALLY have a rare artifact here! What's really a kick for me is that back in the day I was a collegiate gymnast in SoCal and at least based on the show in which I appeared along with this one you've posted, some of the athletes they got to be performers were ex-gymnasts. Rea Anders (the gentleman in the blue Adidas track suit, listed as "Athletic Consultant" in the credits) was a collegiate Men's Gymnastics coach whom I had known for years; he recruited me and a bunch of other gymnasts to come be on another of the show's 1980 episodes. So I knew him and the other guys who appeared alongside me, but during the show's brief run I never saw another episode other than the one I was on. However, now seeing the episode that you've posted I've recognized two of the performers on THIS show as well. One, Bill Valaika (the guy who attempted that 'Skate Tunnel' stunt) is several years younger than me but went to my high school and competed with my little brother, so I knew him a little. He wound up being a nationally ranked horizontal bar specialist for Cal State University, Fullerton. Also, Frank Perrino (who executed the floor circles) is a gymnast I never really knew personally but had competed against a few times over the years; he was a pretty good Pommel Horse guy at Cal Sate University, Northridge around the same time that I was competing on Rings for Cal State University, Long Beach. So once again, this was really a wonderful treat! Thanks for responding and keep up the great work! :)

This is compelling television and I'm surprised it didn't have a longer run. I guess game shows in weekly syndication were starting to go out of style in favor of daily strips. The only thing I'd change is make a correct "success" prediction payoff at 2:1 odds considering how tough these things are.

Hill-Eubanks also produced NBC's 1 979 show All-Star Secrets, Buddy Hackett's short lived You Bet Your Life from Fall 1980, TOni Tennille's short-lived talk show, and the short lived dating show Infatuation from Fall 1992.

Does anyone remember a game show that came on in the evenings----probably syndicated. I think played once a week, right before prime time, probably 7:00 or 7:30. 1970 or 1971 and I think it lasted less than a year. It was called The WEO Game or something like that. Very early 1970s. I can't find anything about it.

I think this is the first time an episode of this show has hit the game show trading circuit or YOutube. One of the few game shows from 1975-on that that can be said about. It was a weekly show that probably aired on Saturday or Sunday afternoons and would have likely been preempted for sports coverage when it did.
