Noted in another thread, but the 2 losing contestants from this show will be playing against Michael Larsen's brother tonight at 8:30 ET on Whammy!, and Peter Tomarken will be back to host for a bit also.

Did the audio drop out for anyone besides me? I saw it on Time Warner, Southern Tier NY.

There were several instances where the audio got real low for me. Normally we have the TV volume around "23" on my TV, I had to pump it up to "45" just to hear the show when the audio went low.

One thing that confused me...

Wasn't the original broadcast split over 2 shows? Did they shoot it as one show and then just pick a point to chop it in half after the taping? I ask because at no point during the playback did Tomarkin say we need to continue this 'tomorrow' (and I say 'tomorrow' knowing that they tape multiple shows in one day).

Same here, and I have Comcast in Kansas City. I think it was a GSN problem. I was taping it, also, and this really made me mad. I waited forever for it, and they pooch it up with the sound. Sooo, I thought I would get it the second time it aired that night (well, I had the first hour to retape) and then the screen goes all blue for a few seconds, so I was like, Screw it, I will try it again tonight. I will have to put the new Whammy episode on it with the losers playing.

I think Peter, despite his weight (who among us hasn't put on a few as we get older) still looks good on camera, and was an excellent host for this show. Why didn't he get the hosting gig for Whammy?

I'd buy a DVD of it, provided it did have the full episodes, uncut, and the interviews and deleted footage. I am not interested in regular game shows on DVD, but I'd buy this and I'd also buy the Outrageous Game Show Moments specials on DVD.

There was a part where young Tomarkin comes out, blue screened over the broadcast and says 'Folks, this is out of ****ing control. We'll be back tommorow.' Well, not really but it was close to that.

It was confusing during the special because then old Tomarkin came onto the same screen and started mouthing off.

That was simply the most compelling game show story ever. I had heard about this for years and was stoked to finally see the episode!

thanks for the replay listings! i was able to tivo it last night at midnight... haven't watched it yet, but will be transferring it to dvd over the weekend..

Finally saw the show. The stress was really starting to get to Larson toward the end. His male opponent was having fun watching the streak, but his female opponent looked like she wanted to slit his throat.
The documentary seemed to take a little too much glee in Larson's crappy life after the show.
