*Fame Game cue*

And now it is time for a Fame Game folks! Today we've got a new cell phone, a luggage set, and our grand prize...a laundry center! We have some cash as well...but in order to get control of the board, place your hands on your buzzers, because you have to answer a "What Am I" question for control of the board. Here it comes!

We're looking for the name of a famous sitcom:

I became the most-watched show in the United States in four of its six seasons and I was the first show to end its run at the top of the Nielsen ratings. As of today, my episodes have been syndicated in dozens of languages across the world and remain popular with an American audience of 40 million each year. My original opening and commercial bumpers were animated caricatures of the main stars. They were designed and animated by MGM character designer and future "Flintstones" cartoonist, Gene Hazelton and were produced under a contract producer William Hanna had secured privately. After the conclusion of my sixth season, my stars decided to cut down on the number of episodes that were filmed. Renamed The Lucille Ball-Desi Arnaz Show in 1957, also known as The Lucy-Desi Comedy Hour, I was extended to an hour and included guest stars in each episode. What’s my name?



Kevin: 60
Nels: 41
Mike: 54

Buzzcode: 24

*Mike buzzes in*

Mike! What's your answer?

[thunderwheeler501]

I Love Lucy!

[babytims]

One of my all-time favorite sitcoms...I Love Lucy is right!

*applause*

9 spaces on that board to accompany the 9 prizes we have to offer. You only get one shot...unless you choose a "Pick Again" space, to which the amount behind that space is added to whatever you'd choose next.

Don't be shy...pick a number and we'll see what you won.

[thunderwheeler501]

Let’s go for the middle one, #5.

[babytims]

Under number 5 we find...

*dings, applause* A laundry package! Tell us about it, Mr. Stevens!


*prize cue*

Shadoe: The Electrolux front load washer features LuxCare Wash and Perfect Steam technology to provide a thorough clean for clothing and fabrics. The 15-Minute Fast Wash cycle allows you to quickly deep-clean the items you need the most. This prize is worth...

Two Thousand eighty-nine dollars....congratulations!

*cheers*

Mike...that's your laundry center fair and square! How do you feel after winning that prize?

[babytims]

Mike…?

[thunderwheeler501]

Sorry. I feel much better after winning that prize!

[babytims]

And we're happy you got it! But we're not done with the Fame Game, anyone can come back to this board later on to win some more loot! But for now...we're back in business:
