Wow. Who knew Supermarket Sweep was a classic back then? 😮

What a find! If they ever find the episode that was filmed at Food Fair in Paramus, NJ, my whole family would be thrilled. My aunt was in the audience!

My mum was pregnant with myself when this was taped. I was born on May 16, 1967.

The difference between "Supermarket Sweep" in the 1960s (as well as the pilot episode) and subsequent versions is that the 1960s version is done in a actual supermarket and the subsequent versions were done in a television studio so that the producers had better control over the products as the real supermarkets has alcohol for sale and the 90s, 2000s and the most recent version didn't allow alcohol to be placed in the market.

I remember watching this show. My brothers and I would yell "Go for the meat! Go for the meat!"

I loved those NCR Class 51 cash registers when I was little. All those buttons and noises used to fascinate me. So did watching the cashiers' fingers fly up and down the rows of buttons.

Wow!! 24 years before David Ruprecht and the version we have come to love!

Thanks J! Classic intact media is more important than most people think.

I'm 47 and remember the late 80s and 90s that one lol😊 this is good to see one that goes back to 1967. It's a classic. This should of been on game show network.

This era of programming epitomized what ABC was all about in the 1960s; _Supermarket Sweep_ as well as _Wide World of Sports_ and _Gidget_ and _Treasure Isle '67_ of course etc.

To be honest, I had no idea Supermarket Sweep was as old a show as it was. I only remember it from the 1980s when I was a kid.

Oh yeah another episode!

Never knew super market sweep was started in the 60s

"The Invaders" premiered Jan 10, 1967; the original "Supermarket Sweep" ran until July of that year, so yes, Jan. 17, 1967 would have been about right. Since the episode appeared to have been taped in late '66, that would explain the 1966 copyright at 28:30 during the close. As for the format, I noticed that it changed from three teams down to two late in its run, plus they kind of stretched it out a bit. And you got to love how Malone references the "automatic clock" at the 20:34 mark. He could have said "timer", of course.

Watching this in 2023, feeling shocked at the price of food post inflation 😮

One of those pennants around the 19:20 mark is now in my private possession.

This is fascinating! Thank you for this post.

great year for cars

At that time, about the only Punxsutawney supermarket was an A&P. Before it became a True Value.

Man didn't know that Supermarket Sweep originated in the 60's i like this one alongside the commercials post some more of these if it's available.

Wonderful!! THANK YOU! Just subscribed for more rare VINTAGE GEMS!

2 days after the first Super Bowl

January 17, 1967 (as "THE INVADERS" was in its first season, at 8:30pm(et) [in January 1968, it was seen at 10pm]).

Fact: Food Fair grocery stores, where Supermarket Sweep was taped/filmed, later became Pantry Pride grocery stores.

I didn't know this show existed. I usually associate Supermarket Sweep with David Ruprecht.

January 17, 1967 was exactly two weeks after I was born.

I didn't know that there was a Supermarket Sweep in the 60s!

Thank you so much

28:06 "Remember, United States Savings Bonds now pay 4.15% when held to maturity!" Crowd: *YAAAAAAYYYYYY!!!!* 🤣🤣🤣

Do you have any other episodes of this show? My Mom and I were contestants in Stamford, CT on a show taped January 2, 1966. I'd love to see it. Thanks.

Damn ol’ girl didn’t want to let her husband talk 😂

This is the only *complete* episode I’ve seen on YT. The other one is actually portions of two different episodes. Also, this one is different in that the two challengers are pitted against each other in the pricing games. In the 2 eps posted (I presume neither one is complete as they are only about 10 minutes long), the champion participated with the challengers.

I didn’t know it was that old

This game was remade 2 other times, first around 30 years later with David Ruprect then a few years ago with Leslie Jones, but obviously wasn't a hit. Only remember seeing 4 episodes at the most.

How did you find this and do you have anymore episodes of the original supermarket sweep

I wanna get me a glass of onion juice and a bad breath machine.

When is the last time you saw a girdle ad on TV? 😂

Richard Hayes is the announcer.

I like the prices at Food Fair. I'm heading down to the market right now. But to win the show, I don't think it's efficient to fill up your shopping cart with frozen turkeys. They're large, you're breaking your back in the store, and you'll have nowhere to store them all once you get home. Look for items that are small and expensive. Maybe go to where the medications are and scoop up everything in sight.

This looks to be Ben Franklin Day. I'm confused by the 1968 date. I thought it ended in 1967. "The Invaders" was on Tuesday nights at 8:30 p.m., then moved to 10:00 p.m. during its second season to make way for "It Takes a Thief".

And what was that man in the Excedrin commercial talking about?

I wondered who manufactured princess soap, the next commercial for chiffon told me.

When did crème rinse become conditioner?

How did they get their hair to do that?

People used to get married so young in those days.

I miss Chunkys.

Didn't Richard Hayes end up hosting Supermarket Sweep later on

go

It's from January 17, 1966 or January 17, 1967, not January 17, 1968!

10 minutes in and so far nothing has happened. What a waste.
