The Cheap Show with host Dick Martin (1978)

  1. This was an incredible funny show. I was one of the shows contestants, my partner and I were the first couple to go through the show without getting punished. Thanks to the Oscar the white rat we won Dining Room furniture and fine China. I choose the China which I have to this day. Who would I contact to see if they have a copy of the show I was on. Any help would greatly be appreciated.

    1. My partner passed away a few years ago so it would be nice if someone had a copy of it.

  2. David, who were the celebrity panelists when you were on? And were you the one choosing the right answer or were you the one in the pit?!?!

    1. I'm sorry I don't remember the celebrity panelists. I was the one in the pit.

  3. David, you said you were the first couple to go through the show without getting punished. What were the punishments that the other couple get - please describe what happened to each person if you can remember.

    1. You would get hit with various liquids, slim of various colors and I believe chocolate syrup. Thank heavens my partner answered them all correct!

  4. David- How did you get to be on the show? Did you have to arrange it beforehand or did you volunteer out of the audience? Also, how nerve wracking was it being in the pit? Was there ever a point where you thought you might get it?

  5. David, how did you get to be on the show? Was it arranged beforehand or were you both chosen out of the audience? I would have been a nervous wreck being in the pit but you were quite lucky. Why did you decide to do it and were you prepared to get it if you lost?
