New Video! Bowling for Dollars from 1977 with host Tom Ryther (FULL EPISODE!)
Found and restored for generations to come. A 1977 episode of Bowling for Dollars. Bowling for Dollars was a game show produced and aired locally on KSTP-TV in the 1970s. The premise was simple enough, contestants bowl for a jackpot and prizes. I understand from individuals that worked on the show, it was taped on Sunday morning about 6am and then aired on Thursday and Friday nights. Bowling for Dollars like Bozo was a regional “franchise” program, every market had their own version with a general format.

I just contacted KSTP this past winter to ask for a copy of the Bowling for Dollars episode my mother appeared on. They told me the tapes had gone to the MN Historical Society. I’m curious as to where this footage came from and perhaps you could give me access so I may be able to possibly find that copy of my mother’s appearance on the show. This episode was not one she appeared on. Thank you!
