Blockbusters

It's actually a game of skill, thought, race, blocking, etc.!!!!!

"Blockbusters" was the game show that ran on NBC in the early 80s. The set looked like we were in a huge honeybee colony. The object of this game is like what a mole does digging across the dirt: we, being a solo player vs. a family team (two people), had to answer word questions. Solo is red; family is white. The least red can get is four, while the least white can get is five. Questions can range from easy to hard, like this memorable moment:

Host (he had a hearing problem, BTW): What "E" does the doctor look at with his stethoscope?

Leland (in white): Ear?

Host: Nope; the ear!

Leland: That's what I said!!!!!

Host: Oh! I thought you said "liver." Because, liver would be correct if the stethoscope was long enough; "Ear" is right...etc.

The winning team after two rounds goes on to play for $5000!!!!! The host, with a push of a button, brings forth the podium. This is more challenging; there are multiple words or phrases for the answer, and 60 seconds is needed. Here's another funny moment:

Host: What "MB" is a play about a Salvation Army girl?

Contestant: Myra Breckinridge?

Host: Nope!

After that, it was just funny!!!!!

Anyways, GSN plays this every day at 9 or 9:30 in the morning. Watch this for these and more funny moments on "Blockbusters!!!!!"
