I had never heard of this show till I saw these uploads. The old original commercials are cool too. One episode contained probably one of the first ads for Ragu spaghetti sauce. Yes I had to Google who singer Enzo Stuarti was.....

Wow, I have some catching up to do with this thread!

Re: Queen for a Day. Years ago, one of the specialty digital cable networks aired some of the surviving 50s episodes, and that's my only experience watching it. Never thought we'd ever see the 1969 revival, though. Just from watching the first few minutes, I can tell the format was already severely outdated, and the host doesn't have nearly as much charm as you need in order to make it work.

ALWAYS good to see more High Rollers!! I never put two and two together in my head to realize that audiences were getting a full hour of Bill Cullen while he subbed for Allen on P+ alongside hosting Chain Reaction.

It's always great when these long lost shows appear. Bill Cullen hosted so many game shows back to back. He took over The Joker's Wild when Jack Berry died in 1984.

One short lived show I enjoyed was the 80's version of " Dream House" hosted by Bob Eubanks. The producer had the master tapes in his basement and it got flooded and the show is lost forever. A few home video recordings have popped up on youtube in poor quality, but better than nothing.

    • This was really amazing to watch.   They said that a lot of stuff was filmed out of order over a few weeks. John's memorial service was filmed just before Drake died, and then there was a prescheduled week of the studio being dark (haitus week).  So they got the news of his passing the day after they'd filmed the last scenes before the break. But some of the recent stuff at John's bedside (such as his death) was filmed after that weeklong hiatus break, so not long after Drake died.

      I don't know how the actors got through it, especially Deidre. They said regarding episodes airing week of June 9th stuff, it will seem less dark to viewers, as there were some lighthearted moments. (not giving spoilers here).  But I guess Drake was still alive when those scenes were filmed, even though they knew he'd pass soon.
    • Thinking about where the current Cassadines are.  Alexis, Molly, Kristina, and Scout are currently active on canvas. Technically, Ace is on canvas, although we never see him. Jake is in school in Spain? Valentin and Charlotte are currently off-canvas, I think? I've lost track. I thought Valentin was in a prison somewhere, but then I remember reading something about Charlotte, and deciding if she'd live with Valentin or Lulu, but I don't remember what was decided.  I'm unclear on where Valentin is now. Nikolas is in prison. Did I miss anyone?
    • Thank you! Also, can't seem to find Oct thru December '73. I thought it was here at one time.

    • To me, he was her best romantic pairing!
    • In 1986, the writers had Zane shot twice in March and August when he died.  It’s like they didn’t know what to do with the character after they married him to Felicia.
    • Totally feel the same. Stacy’s fine, but this version of Kristen just exists for Brady’s storyline. No flashbacks, no real layers. Eileen always brought that extra spark - and her chemistry with Drake back in the day? So good. Definitely feels like a missed opportunity. Can you imagine Eileen’s Kristen walking in, all shaky, and just hugging Marlena? Both of them crying - like actual, messy, earned tears? That would’ve hit so much harder. Pure soap gold.
    • Xanthe, evidence of the Michigan setting could be found in the scenes when Rachel is on the run for shooting Mitch, which was in late 1980/early 1981. I remember a scene where they showed Bay City on a map of Michigan.
    • Leading to a knockdown, drag out brawl in the Brady Pub There’s so much fanfiction running through my mind right now
