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.

By popular demand! The original Bowling for dollars video generated hundreds of hits and dozens of requests for more. Here is another episode of the 1970s classic Bowling for Dollars, this time hosted by longtime Twin Cities radio personality Johnny Canton. This episode aired in the program’s final year 1978.
