The old WWTBAM studio...

#1 Post by MarleysGh0st » Wed Sep 26, 2012 5:42 pm

I'd like to see what it looks like, for old times sake.

Ahh, one of my biggest regrets in life is living an hour away from Disney and never having been to MGM while Play It! was around.
In this town, don't we love it now, everbody's waiting for the next surprise!

I have to say it was really great fun!

And my kids were so impressed I got into the Hot Seat.

I have to give credit to all the BB hints about how to move of the leaderboard. But watching my seat number move was really exciting. And then not seeing it at #2 was AWESOME!

Still have the pins, lanyard and hat somewhere

That whole era (TOPG, prime time shows, weekly Play It! reports from someone,....) seems like another life. I too enjoyed Play It! but never got passed #3.

It's no fun to be #1 as you're walking out the door at the end. Or when they check the leaderboard when the person in the Hot Seat almost gave a wrong answer for the 1000 point question but the host reminded them they had lifelines and you realize you were about to take their sorry-ass place.

But it WAS fun to be #2 when the #1 person was ineligible! :mrgreen: I gave all the loot to my kids, though...
Huh? What?

There is something wrong in a government where they who do the most have the least. There is something wrong when honesty wears a rag, and rascality a robe; when the loving, the tender, eat a crust while the infamous sit at banquets.

And for some of us, it was pretty lucrative, too! :-). Two wonderful cruises...

Geez, do I miss those days!

I've got a pile of that stuff stashed away, too. Duplicates of the lower tier pins went to MarleysNephew for pin trading during our last trip to WDW.

Like BiT said, that whole era seems so far away these days.
I felt the change

Time meant nothing and never would again
