- Episode 82 of Whew! shows off why this cult favorite game show is so good: A 5-time champion goes for his last trip (plus the 100th trip) against the Gauntlet of Villains, and then two contestants have intelligent, close-call battles to find a brand new champion.
Bill was my Grandpa. We used to have this on VHS but lost it years ago. Thanks for posting this!
That is so cool
When did he pass on? And how much did he pay in taxes?
So happy you are able to have this again ♥️😊
@andrewisok that's awesome
Well, he did an awesome job! He was a great player to have won 5 games in a row and to have taken out the villains with plenty of time to spare.
They should bring this show back. It’s pretty cool.
It'll likely air in Primetime
@Chad Mower Same. I move Buzzr
I remembered when I was 2 years old
It's great Bill won 42 years ago. When I first saw this back then, I didn't understand the game. But all these years later I understand it now. If I understood it back then..
I could have tried out for it.
I totally used to watch this when I was 9.
I was a game show fanatic back in the day...how did I miss this?...
This episode aired the day I was born.
This show had some great music
I love this show. So fast for 60 seconds
i guess 5 times the charm
Last time I checked it the 3rd time that's the charm.
@@christophercotton9048 He's talking about the first person who, after the 5th attempt, finally beat the gauntlet and win $25.000, hence 5 times the charm
This comes on the Buzzer channel at 4:30 p.m. eastern time Mon-Fri WHOO HOO 🎉
AM or PM?

Unfortunately, my computer is no longer able to stream Buzzr.
Love this show glad it’s back on
I remember this show when I was 5 or 6.
Remember watching this on KVOS 12 in Bellingham when I had cable, KIRO 7 (CBS) in Seattle never aired it.
It's great that Bill won on his last attempt at the $25,000.00. In August of 1979, I getting ready to go into the 10th grade. I wonder what it would have been like having Debbie for my English teacher. She sure was beautiful back then. I wonder what she looks like now.
Great win for Bill retiring with almost $30,000! It would have been nice to see two people win $25,000 each in this episode.
My best strategy is to charge on a category you like and block on a category you don’t like.
VILLAINS: It's now or never (1:51)
ME: Wasn't there a song out by that title??
Lol, I think I remember, some guy named...Elvis Preston.
@@darklordojeda Elvis PRESLEY.
If Larry didn't have the beard, he'd look like Richard Dawson.
3:43: Well that was very sour villains. LOL
I think they are describing themselves. NO CLASS WHATSOEVER.
The villain smack talk was part of the fun. My favorite came after a contestant loss: “Try Password.”
"Calm down" and "It's IRS time" are classics
@@legendnation6694 that is saltiness
@@legendnation6694 “Wanna buy swampland?”
This would have been aired during my birthday week if I existed back then
I just saw this episode on Buzzr yesterday, but this looks better quality.
The ones who didn’t win still walked away with a nice prize.
Plastic seat covers?
never heard of it here in the cincinnati area.
Imagine if they brought this show back, with an updated look to the Gauntlet...more animation would be cool. They look like cardboard cutouts, but then again this was 1979 BC (before computers....were popular)
I actually agree. I think this would be very good today because now you have CGI you could have an update look to the gauntlet. The question is who would host it today? If I had a choice I would say maybe either Jimmy Fallon or Jimmy Kimmel. The top prize would be $250,000.
@Daniel Rivera also you can add some safe zones which in the event time ran out depending on where you are along the Gauntlet Run, you won that amount of money (safe zones would be at Van Louse the "Slumlord" and Frank N Stein).
Let me guess, the intro was animated by Hanna Barbara.
That intro though. What is that lady doing? 😂
not sure if this was corrected later on, but at 11:10, Debbie answered correctly at line five so she was technically at line six when she called longshot. So, that longshot wouldn't have been valid.
You are not on level six until you call out “level six”. She was fine.
$25,000 was a lot of money in 1979
At least the villains say something, unlike Emile Autouri.
Computers were in their infancy so I can see Larry missing that one. Some of those errors in the first game didn't seem like errors to me.
Did she say "Farrar" instead of "Ferrer"? I think she meant "Ferrer", but it didn't sound quite like that.
You could conceivably pronounce his name the way she said it. It was close enough to count for credit.
Debbie looks in her 60s in 2022. Probably a retired teacher?
Could this kind of game work today? Jay Leno and Jimmy Kimmel ask people on the street simple questions and they just giggle at how ignorant they are.
BTW: Debbie got it wrong when she answered Jose "Ferrar." It should have been "Jose Ferrer."
14:07 It's the Gauntlet of VILLAINS run #100!!!
For the 100th run....the VILLAINS say: Brace yourself.
ME: YOU CLOWNS 🤡 SHOULD DO THE SAME THING AS WELL. Because lighting may strike you guys TWICE in the same show.....AS BEFORE IF I'M NOT MISTAKEN.
Tom would recycle the nickname he uses in the second Gauntlet when Pat Aiello appears.
I could have choked the guy who did not know the old texaco commercial "the man who wears the star" at the top level.
Quirk in rules, she completed level 5, she shouldnt have been allowed to call longshot but the rules allowed it
The contestant is not "on" a level until they call for it. From the official Whew! rules (thanks, Randy Amasia):
"When charging, I may call for the Longshot while on any of the first five levels of the board. A Longshot may not be called on the sixth level. The moment I call “Level Six,” I am committed to the sixth level."
@@thechadmosher ok, and thus the advantage of the long shot. Its strategy and luck to find the one or possibly two unblocked bloopers. Realistically the blocker has a 2/3 chance to win round if charger calls longshot. As charger, when setting blocks, you'd be slly to not have set a block on level 6 as one of your 6 blocks
@@thechadmosher i guess also, they would be silly to not use longshot if time short, and even completed level 5, as if for example you have less than 10 secs, you gamble by not calling longshot. You might hit a block and then have very little time to correct the unblocked blooper on level 6
16:15 OH NO!! THE SANDS OF TIME RUN OUT ON DEBBIE!
VILLAINS: Go back to bed 🛌 😴!! (16:23)
ME: Why don't you shameless skinflints run on off to mama now?
16:36 And now, time for these commercial messages. Y'all make sure you come back now ok?
$25,000 in 1979 is worth $100,652.89 today but as this is 2022 and with the way inflation is it'll be more like a million dollars by Christmas.
hi mark
16:47 What a great episode today! Bill had the villians singing a very sour note with that $25k win in the Gauntlet Run #99 showing them that THEY were pretty classless and graceless (3:43) in losing While Debbie had her issues on the 100th Gauntlet Run.
That's ok she's going to face off against a new challenger on the next episode. So be sure to tune in then!! Same WHEW!™️ time, same WHEW!™️ channel!!
Hey Villains, learn to have some class and gracefulness in losing. You guys seem to be salty when you lose $25K.
