(The Round Robin will be discussed soon.) The show asked the players to split up. Understand some of the rest of the games the show had teams utilize before the last pricing game called the Round Robin. By 1993, if the teammate got it back after twenty seconds, they'd receive a $100 bonus to their final Big Sweep payout. After guessing, the host would mention that their teammate would have to race out into the market to pick up the item (or later it was the item with the marked show's logo token on the item) and bring it back within a thirty-second time period to the host to pick up a $50 bonus. ( If you listened carefully, you could pick up the answer by listening to the intonation of the words spoken.) If, after guessing, the guess was correct, the team would accumulate an additional ten seconds of 'Sweep time in the Big Sweep. Although introduced beginning in the second season (1991) after the production company realized that the players weren't being given enough Big Sweep time and could pick up some money in the end and as a result, the host gave a clue to a product using a very-easy rhyming couplet sentence that would end with the particular product players would have to guess the product the sentence was mentioning from items generally found in most supermarkets. Recognize what happened during the first pricing game called the Mini Sweep. Instead, the contestants are already at their respective podiums when the show begins.
The manic pace of the show's trolley dash, coupled with the pop culture trivia questions and clues written on every day food items. The show was actually originally broadcast on the ABC network 60's, but saw a revival in the 90's on the Lifetime network hosted by David Ruprecht (possibly because grocery prices had risen wildly and the savvy producers of the show understood people would need street smarts and survival skills to get their hands on the best food prices). That's right Supermarket Sweep is coming back, because someone out there obviously loves us.įor those of you who don't remember the show, perhaps because you were showing up to school on the regular, Supermarket Sweep was the classic quiz/insane grocery cart racing game show that became an international sensation in the 90's. I might have to call in sick soon, it seems, because one of my favorite game shows will be making a return to the small screen. All while snug under a blanket on the sofa, drinking flat ginger ale to cure my fictitious sore stomach. A healthy mixture of soap operas, game shows, and commercials for cleaning products.

Anyone else out there remember when game shows were basically the best thing on television? I remember staying home "sick" from school just so I could get my full dose of daytime television.
