So I can assume that Clock Game now sits upon Bullseye's base?

That's a negative.  Bullseye's base was much less wide than Clock Game's.

[Alfonzo]

That might have been the single easiest playing of Bonus Game ever!

And double Garffs, even in 1972!

[OldPrice75]

These recaps are awsome!  Our 1972 PiR picture is now crystal clear.  Thanks, source!

Holy...you know, GSN ran this episode.  Can somebody check it and see if that first fake for Bonus Game is right?  That really looks like it could be a mistake in the records.

[OldPrice75]

Yeah, I was wondering about that.  Maybe...32?

[Forrest20]

Forrest!  Haha!

Yup, that $12 was a fake for $55.

[OldPrice75]

Wow!  Maybe it was a goof.
