Whew Episode #A-132D

OH BUZZZRRR!!! Take a look ;)

I remember watching this when it was new.

I love the theme song and opening sequence!

This had Rod Roddy before he did TPIR.

Interesting how the clapboard says October 5 but the episode actually takes place on Halloween..

Lawd, I wish the music was isolated so it could be sampled—such pimpin’ music! Peace.

I remember when CBS promoted this show. They were selling it as "something different". It had a real good and long awaited format IMO. You couldn't have gotten a better host. But, it just didn't make it. Maybe it was a little too fast paced. You know it's a kiss of death or a red flag when you see game shows start to bring in celebrities to play. In fact, this show and it's neighbor in it's time slot, "The all-new beat the clock" (which also went to celebs) both got pulled around the same time, and CBS went about two, two and a half years before bringing in another game show to compliment The Price is Right. This was IMO the start of the decline of morning game shows.

I feel like I've seen very few clips of this show where the charger actually won the round. Cool to finally see one.

I remember this one quite well; is anyone planning a reboot?

I remember this show when it aired on TV when I was a kid. I LOVED that bonus game intro with the large set and the "$25,000" on that platform.

Love those loud buzzers, same ones used on TPIR. This show deserved a longer run.

This was a unique format with interesting strategy, but the main game was too heavily biased in favor of the blocker. Either reduce the length of the blocks to 3 seconds each or place only 5 blocks instead of 6 to make it more fair.

This is a show that would do well with modern technology since you don't have to wait through commercials to set the next board up. I think that high speed-commercial-high speed pacing became a problem. A few tweaks can make this show work today.

The animated sequence at the very beginning of "Whew!" was done by Hanna-Barbera, the same studio that made "Scooby-Doo", "Tom & Jerry", "The Jetsons", "The Flintstones", and so many great cartoons.

Whew! was a really underrated game show. The fast paced format it had and the humor in it from the 5 second block countdown to the messages on the Gauntlet of Villains was fun. This show got ruined when they added celebrities to the game.

The Gauntlet Of Villains reminds me a bit of Pitfall's bridge bonus round!

BUZZR should have something called "one season or less"to show game shows that lasted one season or less(i.e."Card Sharks 86(night time),The Price Is Right(Tom Kennedy),etc.

Good old Count NIbbleneck

I'd honestly would like to see this revived. Either Ryan Seacrest, Chris Harrison or our very own Wink Martindale would fit the role of host.

Halfway into this show’s run, NBC moved Hollywood Squares into the same time slot. Competition killed it.

The fast pace, the hurricane of puns, it would probably work better today.

But you’d have to cancel a stable show, such as The Bold and the Beautiful, to bring it into the lineup.

"A combination guaranteed to make you say..." (burp!) I like to watch the animated sequence at the start, with the woman walking past the villains...including the way her backside wiggles--especially when she ducks the cutlass.

This is a show I wish Fremantle would get the rights to so they could air it on Buzzr. I'm sure whoever owns it would sell it to them for the right price.

I know this show is a cult favorite with many, but I've just never been able to warm up to it. I admit, back in the day, this show totally escaped my notice and I suspect I was watching the competition on NBC, which I believe was "Password Plus." (ironic given that Tom would take over that show). To me, the real problem is that 90% of the time the "Charger" always loses and IMO it's not fair to the Charger that he/she has to wait for Tom to read the whole blooper given the race against the clock. While it's an interesting show it could have used some tightening up (and adding celebrities was no solution).

This was a great show. I wanted to write about how lame the name of it was, but then I found myself saying it after Stephen's round.

Did they saved all those episodes? The networks (NBC & ABC) had a nasty habit of "wiping" episodes like "The Magnificent Mable Machine". CBS which aired this series, I believe didn't.

I have to agree, this was a highly underrated yet short lived game show. They should bring it back. It’s an exciting and fast paced mix
Of strategy, smarts and a little bit of luck. The characters also make for a fun atmosphere. Bring it back!!!!

As you watch the bonus round, remember: not all dumbs are blonde.

The first part of the set looks like something Dr. Seuss would design.

"A combination guaranteed to make you say, (burp!)" 😁

I wonder if Tammy watching this today 40years later.

The Intro had to have been done by Hanna-Barbera as the lady walking past the villians towards the pot of gold looks a lot like Daphene of Scooby Doo.

The Animated Title Sequence was Made by Joseph Barbera.. One Half of the Duo who Made Tom and Jerry.

"Count Nibbleneck?"

Best game show set ever.

Featuring another great game show announcer icon, Rod Roddy!

Tammy looks beautiful.

Serious question: Can a contestant yell out “Longshot!” at any time during the 60 seconds? I constantly see them do it with 5 or less seconds left—even when it’s obvious they aren’t getting anywhere.

Little did we know that "3 week" celebrity special would be permanent.

Thank you, Wink, for helping get Whew! back on television! Cannot wait until September 6th!

Appropriately with this being a Halloween episode, Tammy gets stopped by a vampire 🧛‍♂️ named Nibbleneck.

this i got to see

nice
