KSTP’s Post Game Coverage of the Minnesota Twins 1987 World Series Victory
Sunday, November 1st, 2009Bowling for Dollars with Tom Ryther Taped in November 1977 Full broadcast
Sunday, October 18th, 2009
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.
