Billy Van deserved a lifetime Emmy for the work he did on the Hilarious House of Frightenstein. Classic. Chevy, I loved Frightenstein so much. It comes up in my minds eye every few years. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChevyVanMiller Posted July 29, 2020 Author Share Posted July 29, 2020 Does anyone else remember the syndicated game show “The New Treasure Hunt” with Geoff Edwards? Kind of A precursor to “Deal or No Deal” where winners would pick one box in hopes of winning the grand prize. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A whole hell of a lot, brother. btw, put me in the Bill Van is a genius category. For those not in the know (and this is utterly unbelievable) there are 130 episodes of this show...all 130 were filmed over 9 months in 1971. Billy Van played 8 characters on the show. Thank you so much for this today, Chevy. I hadn’t thought about so many of the bits and characters For so long. Griszelda? Oh man! The librarian. Igor. All these bits are such a treasure to my youth. I can’t upvote you enough on this. Edit: it might be too much for my baby girl, but I so want to get her into this. Edit 2: the above was the first thing I went to afterwards today and I love the documentary at the end. RIP, BV.

Absolutely love him on Card Sharks!! I am too young to have seen it live, but have watched it on re-runs for years.

And I believe that Vincent Price filmed all of his spots over just a few days because they couldn’t afford him beyond that. Also, the Wolfman scenes are all cut from the box sets because they never had the rights to use all of the rock songs that he played and danced to. So glad you are reconnecting with the show. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a kid, I thought the show was riveting! Pretty Meh now (though agree the host was solid). I hear ya. I watched a couple re-runs on Netflix myself recently. Keep in mind they only have season 1 on there so that might be part of the Meh factor. I have been watching a lot of old shows on Netflix and Hulu since the Pandemic began and one thing I have really noticed is how bad a lot of shows were in Season 1. I will say for me personally I still enjoyed the episodes of Supermarket Sweep I watched but it might've just been for the Nostalgia more than anything. I loved that early 90's and for me childhood time period. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Additionally, in going through 4 episodes last night I experienced that first hand as only two of them on youtube had the full wolfman segments. Get bent music rights holders. Like they are going to profit just off of your content in their video. Edited July 30, 2020 by dollars 2 donuts 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
