User:Daniel Benfield/Supermarket Sweep Video Archive

Another pretty great show, Supermarket Sweep had its share of oddities (for one, the studio audience was usually only there for the front games and tended to have paid extras aside from the contestants) but remains pretty good even today. It's probably the easiest game show on television, as the questions all have to do with something we do just about every week; only way you could fare badly is by not knowing your grocery items and brands!

Special thanks to Ryan Rinkerman's awesome collection for many of these airdates, and [http://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgHWv08QhyQ6TVTycn43isQ/videos the "Supermarket Sweep Fans!" YouTube channel] for a whole bunch of videos (mostly alternate copies, but also a good 20 or so episodes uploaded from their personal collection - and they're always looking for stuff they don't have).

For the British and Canadian versions, which used to be listed here, see here and here respectively.

LEGAL STUFF SO I DON'T GET SUED: I'm only linking to these videos, none of which were uploaded by me, for the purposes of research and as a public record. Footage ©1965-67/1987-96/2000-03/2009 Talent Associates/HBO/Al Howard Productions/FremantleMedia and associated entities.

(Yes, really, HBO; they own the Talent Associates library. Fremantle, who already had global rights, bought US rights in 2017; Buzzr started airing the US version in January 2018.)

ABC (1965-67)
ABC Daytime: December 20, 1965 - July 14, 1967

The original version, which was filmed in various supermarkets across the country. The front game involved the wives of each couple using cash registers to guess the price of various items; closest guess won the item and some more time in the Big Sweep. All couples kept the items in their carts after the Big Sweep, with the winning couple returning for the next game.

The series had some issues during development - the test shows (shown in theaters) had the wives do the Big Sweep, and during the filming of one such show a player had a heart attack. The former was fixed by having the husbands run the Big Sweep, while the latter resulted in executive producer Leonard Stern adding a rule stating that runners had to be no older than 40 and have a note from a physician certifying that yes, they were healthy enough to participate in this; Stern himself didn't contribute to the show otherwise, as he was pretty much busy with Get Smart and developing three sitcoms.

Sweep wasn't too well-received even when it debuted, and Talent Associates founder/president David Susskind (who had a reputation of "class" shows) quickly noted to TV Guide that while the show kept his company afloat and made some profit, he wasn't involved. Indeed, he wasn't there when Al Howard, Sy Fischer, and Jerome Schnur pitched the show to Ed Vane (ABC's then-vice president of daytime programming), and Talent Associates really only agreed to produce the show because they were hemorrhaging money from Get Smart due to production issues with Don Adams.

In the end, Supermarket Sweep did reasonably well for itself, running 19 months before being replaced by The Honeymoon Race, which had the same on-air personnel and production company. The new show had couples driving around a mall to complete various silly stunts-waitasec...

The Transition (1989)
Taped December 18, 1989; hosted by David Ruprecht

The pilot for the eventual revival had the clear signs of a franchise wanting to go in new directions but not wanting to accidentally leave itself behind. Also, this was the only time David ever wore a suit.

Also taped at an actual supermarket, the format is pretty much a hybrid of the 1960s and 1990s styles - the teams (now not always married couples) were picked from the audience through a "Who's got the [product]?" method of David hitting a buzzer at his podium to stop a flashing light on a small board of eight products; added to the standard "price this" element were other games based around identifying products, with a 10-second penalty for a wrong answer; and there was now just one game per show, with the Big Sweep winners playing a Bonus Sweep for an extra $5,000. In addition, the players didn't keep the groceries, they served as means to build up totals with the winning team keeping their money.

The announcer is also different: Johnny Gilbert, who stayed with the series until shortly into Season 7.


 * Taped 12/18/89 (Kim & Lisa/Lorrie & Bill/Julie & Kevin; preceded by an intro by David, low audio at times {alternate copy})

Lifetime (1990-95)
Lifetime, Daily: February 5, 1990 - June 16, 1995 [August 14, 1998] (taped at KTLA Studios, Stage 9)

The first iteration nearly everyone remembers, now taping in a studio (although modeled after a real store) and as mentioned above, money being awarded rather than groceries (the perishables were sometimes fake or past their sell-by date, but not always). The wrinkles exclusive to the 1960s format have been pretty much abandoned, with no more penalties for wrong answers and the intro now ending with Johnny calling down the couples by naming products.

PAX aired repeats from April 5, 1999 through March 31, 2000.

Seasons 1-4
Mainly distinguishable by the logo, although each season had their own changes. In addition, this was also distinguishable by David wearing sweaters.

Season 1 (February 5 - May 11, 1990)

Early in the season, the teams' Big Sweep totals began being rounded off to the nearest dollar (cents only came into play on very rare occasions; specifically, only if the to-the-dollar totals were tied between two teams, as a tiebreaker) and a "monster squad" (referred to on-air by David as "weird customers") was added. Said monsters were really only there to get in the way, as the players had to turn around and leave the aisle they encountered said creature on. Also, when Johnny Gilbert would call each team to play, he would say "Come on, you're on!"


 * February 5, 1990 (Premiere: Gary & Mildred/Ron & Mark/Doris & Debbie; has a Rodeo Drive debut promo! {alternate copy})
 * February 6-9, 1990 (Don & Mary/Casey & Nancy/Dani & Elaine {alternate copy})

Logo added to front of contestant area; cents dropped from Big Sweep totals (".00" still used in post-Bonus Sweep totals, however)
 * February 15, 1990 (Richard & Paula/Marcia & Debbie/Cal & Helen, with the 5-clue Round Robin game and some very different sweatshirts in the Big Sweep {green/pinkish-red/dark blue, with white stick-on numbers and no logos on backs} {alternate copy})
 * [The sweatshirts are normally light blue/red/yellow, with the show's logo on the back (purple/yellow/green, respectively). Interestingly, a clip of this specific Bonus Sweep was used in the Season 2 intro.]


 * Early 1990 (Randy & Randall/Eddie & China/David & Nicole; third team calldown through first team interview, part of first game, and first part of Big Sweep only)
 * [The "weird customers" aren't present yet, but other than that I can't really place this any more accurately without the reveal portion of the Big Sweep.]

"Weird customers" added to Big Sweep; equation no longer shown on Big Sweep total displays, with bonuses no longer displayed separately
 * April? 1990 (Jay & Darrin/Joanne & Bill/Tyler & Debbie, with "Mr. Yuck" in the Big Sweep {alternate copy})


 * May 7, 1990 (Sweep of Champions, Day 1: Matt & Scott/Kevin & Julie/Tani & Lani, with the infamous "Mr. Yuck" in the Big Sweep; has commercials {alternate copies: #1, with commercials; #2, no commercials})
 * May 8-11, 1990 (Sweep of Champions, Day ?: Donna & Martha/Melissa & Darlene/Jeri & Beverly, with David running into the audience during the intro, the 5-clue Round Robin game, and "Big Dave" {a giant turkey} in the Big Sweep {alternate copies: #1, #2})

Season 2 (September 3 - December 21, 1990)

Altered the "beautiful supermarket" intro, enlarged the logo on the contestant area, standardized the sound effects to their more familiar styles, the Round Robin game changed its music to its more familiar style and lengthened the number of questions from 4 to 6, dropped the in-studio clock, added the $250 Shopping List, gave a 30-second bonus for each team if all three players won a price-based game, and began showing the bonuses on the register before the grand total again. By the start of this season, Johnny's contestant intros now ended with "Okay, you're on!" - probably because calling people from the audience with "come on" steered a bit too close into another show's territory.

Also, the Big Sweep and Bonus Sweep clocks were moved from the top-left corner to the bottom-left and top-right corners respectively.


 * Late 1990 (Cynthia & Suzie/Michelle & Marcia/Barbie & Debra, with an instance of going over the five-item limit in the Big Sweep; first second or so missing, ends during credits)


 * Late 1990 (Barbarana & Barbara Jean/James & Karin/Neil & Kathy, with the 5-clue Round Robin game; first second or so missing, I think {alternate copy})
 * [Notably, the intro has a clip of the Bonus Sweep from the Richard & Paula/Marcia & Debbie/Cal & Helen show, the only clip in this intro that doesn't have the normal sweatshirts.]

Season 3 (April 29 - December 20, 1991)

Added the Mini-Sweep and $100 Coffee Grinder, along with changing the intro. Early on, the Mini-Sweep didn't add a special mark to one copy of the item in question. Also, the $5,000 fan makes its debut...and yes, that proves the money is just a prop.


 * July 22, 1991 (#1131: Mike & Maxine/Ethel & Oretha/Gina & Pam, with the 5-clue Round Robin game; Buzzr broadcast)
 * [First episode aired by Buzzr, though their numbering is odd (their schedules make it clear that it's not a Price Is Right style; did Sweep actually consider all of these 1990-91 shows as "Season 1"?). Possible debut of the Mini-Sweep, given David's comments.]
 * July 23, 1991 (#1132: Vanessa & Erin/Nancy & Becky/Colleen & Jo Ann; Buzzr broadcast)
 * July 24, 1991 (#1133: Greg & Michelle/Wanda & Suzanne/Sue & Josie; Buzzr broadcast)
 * July 25, 1991 (#1134: Tina & Kathy/Wendell & Denise/Erwin & Bari; Buzzr broadcast)


 * September? 1991 (Karen & Debbie/Dan & Barbie/Jeff & Bob {Part 3, Part 4}; "shaky-cam" upload, small part of intro missing)


 * December 16, 1991 (Sweep of Champions, Day 1: Caitlin & Brian/Lori & Val/Cynthia & Gary, with the 5-clue Round Robin game {alternate copy})
 * December 17, 1991 (Sweep of Champions, Day 2: Wendy & Janine/Rich & Bruce/Regina & Shawn, with the 5-clue Round Robin game {alternate copy})
 * December 18, 1991 (Sweep of Champions, Day 3: Dora & Jean/Roxanne & Barry/Don & Mary {alternate copy})
 * December 19, 1991 (Sweep of Champions, Day 4: Sally & Diane/Lauren & Wendy/Stacy & Robbie {alternate copy})
 * December 20, 1991 (Season Finale/Sweep of Champions, Finale: Maureen & Carin/Jamie & Tony/Julie & Sam, with the 5-clue Round Robin game {alternate copies: #1, #2})

Season 4 (September? 1992 - May 28, 1993)

Added the $200 Super Sandwich and $200 Manager's Special, as well as the "$100 in 20 seconds or less" Mini-Sweep rule (with the timer now counting upward and now the items in question are specially-marked} and another new intro.

1992
 * September? 1992 (Lisa & Mary/Lori & Ben/Richard & Mark {alternate copy... thing})


 * November-December 1992 (Joe & Brenda/Evonn & Patty/Lynn & Valerie; has commercials {alternate copy})
 * [Possibly an early taping of this season, given how David notes the $100 Mini-Sweep award.]

Uncertain placement
 * 1992-93 (? & ?/Troy & ?/Tawney & Stacy; montage including Bonus Sweep)
 * 1992-93 (Big Sweep clip of Shannon {a guy} frantically going through the supermarket like nobody else I've seen on this show!)

1993
 * March 9, 1993 (Veronique & Margot/Cheryl & Mike/Cathy & Mecca)
 * March 10, 1993 (Ellen & Stacy/Mindy & Robert/Sandi & Chris, with the worst Big Sweep in the history of the show)
 * March 11, 1993 (Cheryl & Saundra/Toni & Michael/Ann & Sherri)
 * March 12, 1993 (Suzie & Dianne/Stephanie & Jana/Teresa & Paul; first half-second or so missing, kinda-low audio)
 * March 15, 1993 (Sue & Jill/Michael & David/Cheri & Judy, with a Slogan game where the players seem to think they're on Jeopardy! {which is...kinda odd, I'll be honest} and a good explanation of the importance of using every ingredient in the Sandwich to win the $200)
 * [Likely from the first week of taping, as David's intro notes that there's now larger products in the market and a new Super Sandwich bonus. (This intro is also used, albeit with different products in David's example, in the below three shows.)]
 * March 16, 1993 (Amy & Elaine/Rebecca & Mike/Robin & Karyn)
 * March 23, 1993 (Mike & Antoinette/Kristin & Debbie/Lori & Tammy; with the 5-clue Round Robin game, another instance where forgetting even one ingredient in the Super Sandwich voids the $200, and a really bad Bonus Sweep)


 * April 2, 1993 (Karen & Chris/Imelda & Nicole/Ardemis & Paula, with the 5-clue Round Robin game)
 * [Somehow, 40 seconds were cut out of the Big Sweep.]
 * April 16, 1993 (Debbie & Steve/Marie & Rachael/Dennis & Amy)
 * April 22, 1993 (Sweep of Champions, Day 4: Debbie & Geri/Edie & Kay/Lance & Carol, with a rare Bonus Sweep clue that directly references the $5,000)
 * April 23, 1993 (Sweep of Champions, Finale: Richard & Mark/Dana & Ellie/Yvonne & Cynthia {Part 3})


 * May 10, 1993 (Mother/Daughter Week, Day 1: Megan & Cathy/Corinne & Chris/Cambria & Carol, a pretty fun episode with the 5-clue Round Robin game, a unique Big Sweep where the kids do the shopping, and a moment that made it into later intros!)
 * [The YouTube comments include one by Zachary Ellis, listing his full Season 6 collection; this actually filled in some stuff I didn't have, including a few of the "uncertain placement" listings on this page.]
 * May 28, 1993 (Season Finale/Sweep of Champions, Finale: Sheri & Tiffanie/Carolyn & Penni/Stephanie & Mark, with some unusual camera angles during the first Mini-Sweep; has two partial commercials, weird audio issues during first part of intro)

Season 5
July 12, 1993 - July 1, 1994

Overhauled the theme, logo, and set (the scoreboards changing from red to yellow before quickly changing again to blue, and the contestant podiums each had the "cart" emblem, which would be seen just about everywhere), added the second Mini-Sweep and 30-Second Shootout to the front game, and added the Mystery Product, $250 Magazine Display, $250 Super Bonus, $250 International Bread Center, $250 Instant Coupon Machines, $100 Cake Decorating Kit, $100 Recycling Machine, and the $100 Candy Corner to the Big Sweep.

While the logo, theme, and set changed this season, the Season 7 intro suggests this might not have been the original plan. This season is easily distinguishable from the rest of the run by the logo's blue/yellow/green color scheme.

Also, David changed his wardrobe to the "shirt-and-tie" variety that we commonly associate him with.

Originally, the Mystery Monitors were touchscreens. By August 13, they were altered to have the players press a button on a horizontal bar underneath (but noticeably separate from, rather than being part of) the monitor. Apparently, late in the season (definitely by the start of Season 6) the monitors were redone in a new style that had the button and bar integrated, which changed to a noticeably different design (with a longer red bar) for the PAX era.

1993
 * July 13, 1993 (Chris & Summer/Doug & Louie/Sonya & Jeanine; has the 5-clue Round Robin game and a partial commercial)
 * ["Welcome to the all-new Supermarket Sweep."]

 * July 16, 1993 (Del & Tanya/Jeff & Steve/Renee & Denise {alternate copy})

Scoreboards become blue, David's cards change from logo to "cart" emblem, $100 Recycling Machine and $250 Super Bonus added (began by 7/23/93)
 * July 23, 1993 (Laura & Patsy/Kevin & Brandon/Rhonda & Ricki {taped 5/20/93; alternate copy})


 * July 27, 1993 (Deborah & Kristen/Mike & Darren/Laurie & Linda; has the 5-clue Round Robin game {alternate copy})
 * [Mystery Monitors are still touchscreens. Big Sweep still has the total displays at the bottom-center.]

Candy Corner added, Big Sweep total displays move to bottom-right, Mystery Monitors change from touch-based to red buttons (debuted by 8/13/93)
 * August 13, 1993 (Cindy & Tony/Heather & Carrie/Julie & Carole, with an iffy clue for Mini-Sweep #2 and David explaining the Candy Corner; has commercials)
 * [One promo is for a limited-time Red Lobster offer ending August 22. Another is for tonight's Lifetime Comedy Lounge, which aired on Fridays during at least Summer '93. Yet another is for the Lifetime World Premiere Movie Night Owl (first aired 8/19/93), debuting Thursday at 9pm.]
 * [The Mini-Sweep #2 clue is "You'll wonder where the yellow went. Bubble your dentures clean with..." Polident is initially ruled wrong, while Efferdent is accepted, and even then "you'll wonder where the yellow went" was the tagline of Pepsodent, a toothpaste company!]


 * August 20, 1993 (Nancy & Kathy/Ron & Dru/Keah & Micki, with David noting they'll be introducing new bonuses over the next few weeks and going into detail about the Candy Corner; has commercials)
 * [One promo is for Afterburn (first aired 5/30/92 on HBO), airing tonight at 9pm. Another is for a Payless Shoes back-to-school sale. Another is for a Life cereal-related $5 rebate for the Home Alone 2 VHS, where the register receipt must be dated between 7/28/93 and 1/3/94. Yet another is an MCI "free calls in December if you join in August" promotion.]

Big Sweep total displays now show "TOTAL" before anything else (began by 10/11/93)
 * October 11, 1993 (Sweep of Champions, Day 1: Tom & Laura/Kelly & Dave/Shawn & Mary; circa-1997 repeat {alternate copy})
 * October 12, 1993 (Sweep of Champions, Day 2: Gina & Walter/Hans & Lu/Nicole & Marni, with the 5-clue Round Robin game; circa-1997 repeat {alternate copy})
 * October 13, 1993 (Sweep of Champions, Day 3: Cami & Lynn/Jordan & Bill/Dawnmarie & Anna, with the 5-clue Round Robin game; 1998 repeat with commercials, slightly scratchy audio at times {alternate copy with no commercials, slightly muffled audio, bright video at times})

1994
 * April 4, 1994 (Irene & Marcella/Scott & Kristi/Darin & David {Part 3}, with the 5-clue Round Robin game; begins shortly before second Mini-Sweep question)
 * April 11, 1994 (Karin & Dan/Julie & Michelle/John & Charlene; with the 30-Second Shootout, the 5-clue Round Robin game, and a somewhat-awkward Bonus Sweep {alternate copies: full episode copy; Bonus Sweep only, with a very misleading title and description})

 * June 8, 1994 (Clem & Omar/Jill & Jon/Pat & Diana, with a Bonus Sweep clue that not only references the $5,000 but requires the players to know Spanish{?!}; 1997 repeat, begins just before Team 1 goes in Big Sweep, ends just before promotional-consideration plugs)
 * [I'm all for cultural diversity and knowing multiple languages, but the idea of the clue (you need to know Spanish) and its wording ("How's your Spanish? For $5,000, try translating this: [word 1] [word 2]!") just rubbed me the wrong way. Personally, I knew what the first word meant but thought the second was a kind of cheer or exclamation instead of...well, what it actually is.]
 * June 14, 1994 (Sandy & Michelle/Gwen & Terri/Wendy & Stephanie; with the 30-Second Shootout, a good reason why the Candy Corner only allows for one customer at a time in the Big Sweep, and why products in glass jars shouldn't be used in the Bonus Sweep; 8/20/96 repeat with commercials {including one for Debt!}, begins during intro)
 * [One promo is for the Lifetime Original Movie For the Future: The Irvine Fertility Scandal, debuting tomorrow at 9pm.]
 * June 24, 1994 (Debbie & Robin/Sean & Michelle/Stacy & Dana, with the 5-clue Round Robin game; begins at first Mini-Sweep {alternate copy})

Season 6
September 19, 1994 - June 16, 1995

The standard logo's normal color scheme debuts (including modifying the shopping cart with four horizontal lines to its left, to look as if it were rolling in), along with upping the Shootout to 40 seconds. The Big Sweep added the $250 Frozen Yogurt and $200 Cracker Jackpot.

The season kicked off in a big way, with the Twin Car Giveaway (say what you will about the fact said cars were Chevy Geo Trackers and only about $12,500 each): various teams competed over the first 15 shows, with the 12 highest-scoring teams returning for a set of four Semifinal games. The six top teams from there played in the Finals.

1994
 * September 20, 1994 (Twin Car Giveaway, Day 2: Ashley & Emma/Jill & Andrew/Lana & Nicole; PAX repeat from 4/6/99, with commercials {alternate copies: #1, with commercials; #2a and #2b, no commercials})

Intro changes to a "What show...?" style (began 10/17/94)

PAX (2000-03)
PAX, Daily: April 3, 2000 - May 23, 2003 [March 26, 2004]

Pretty much identical to the last Lifetime season, although like that run each season was different. PAX aired reruns for a year prior; the ratings were so good the show was brought back.

Season 7
April 3 - December 1, 2000 (taped at Santa Clarita Studios)

The Shootout time limit was dropped back to 30 seconds, and now required the giver to use pre-selected clues. Also, the Candy Corner is initially dropped from the show, but returns on May 3.

New bonuses added this season included the $100 Jelly Belly Jelly Bean Center (first appeared on April 3, last appearance was on April 28), the $200 Bonus Envelope (first appeared on April 24), $100 Stack Job (first appeared on April 24), Pop Goes The Money (first appeared on May 29, last appearance was on June 9), Sweep Swipe (teams could swipe two $100 gift boxes off a display to their own table, first appeared on June 21), Jolly Time Is Money! (first appeared on July 21), and the Giant Laundry Box of Detergent (Cheer/Gain) with four money envelopes containing $25, $50, $75, or $100 (Cheer's first appearance was on May 16, and Gain's first was on June 19).

Randy West replaces Johnny Gilbert on June 19.

Notably, the opening sequence for this season uses the Seasons 1-4 logo, as well as a somewhat redone version of the 1990-93 theme, containing a saxophone portion and key changes. Given this and the fact the intro contains then (2000)-outdated product logos such as Colgate's, I suspect this package had originally been created for Season 5, before it was decided to overhaul the theme and logo to their more well-known variants.

I'm not sure why they eventually used said package here, although if I had to guess I'd say it was to pay tribute to the Lifetime era, much as the intro for the first Lifetime season had paid a bit of tribute to the ABC series.

Season 8
August 6, 2001 - February 22, 2002 (approx. 130 episodes)

The show moved taping to NBC Studios in Burbank (possibly because of NBC's association with PAX at the time), changed the intro to a graphic of the "cart" emblem with several clips playing at once, and stopped calling the contestants from the audience (not like anybody else in the audience was going to be a contestant, but still... well, that and they removed the audience completely).

New bonuses added this season included the Alphabet Game (played like the Shopping List); the Red Tag Special (played like the Manager's Special); and The $300 Movie (involves the Mystery Monitors, which were reduced to two for all Mystery Monitor-related bonuses).

Season 9
September 23, 2002 - May 23, 2003

The intro was now a variant of the later Season 6 one, with a clip of the Twin Car Giveaway opening and a spinning logo, and a reminder that the show's given away over $2,000,000 and is ready to go for $3,000,000 (not sure whether they got there before being canned, though); Randy began giving each player's name as they came out, and the zoom to the nearby Mystery Monitor "chroma transitioned" to the next shot (it was a fade in Season 8).

Gameplay-wise, the only real big change was that the candy and coffee bonuses were increased from $100 to $200 (although they tended to alternate) and two other bonuses were upped (The Alphabet Game now awarded $300, while Stack Job and Jolly Time is Money! offered $150).

The final season also added several new bonuses: The Fruit Fantasy, offering $250 for collecting certain quantities of oranges, lemons, grapefruits, and apples (similar to the International Bread Center); Splitting the Name, played like the Mystery Product; and Market Madness, which offered up to $250.

Brazil (1990-93/2000s)
Band: 1990 - 1993/2000s

SuperMarket, hosted by Ricardo Corte Real. At least the logo is the same as Chile's version.


 * ? (Full Big Sweep segment)

Australia (1992-94)
Nine Network, Daily: February 10, 1992 - February 4, 1994

Hosted by Ian Turpie, with a kinda-similar set (the market itself being initially based on a Coles Supermarket) and a logo that kinda looks like a hand-drawn copy of the American one.

The Bonus Sweep is a bit different, with four clues and four products, each awarding prizes of increasing value with a top prize of a car. This said, the time limit is still one minute and the clues seem a bit vague.

Oddly, there doesn't seem to be much of this version around, a trait also shared by Turps' era of Press Your Luck and (to a lesser extent) The Price Is Right.

Kanal D: 2009

Supermarket (sometimes listed as Super Market), hosted by Erdinc Dogan for the original run and Yigit Alici for the revival. For at least part of the first series, the teams started with 1:30 and the set was reversed (host on the left, teams on the right).

Called Super Market, using the 1993 American theme. Each team is represented by a fruit and starts with 1:00, but that's about all I can tell.
