Blockbusters often features in “blooper” shows because there were numerous stupid/inappropriate answers given by the contestants (orgasm instead of organism, Kama Sutra instead of Kamakaze etc.). So I’m sure we would have been reminded exhaustively if anyone had made such a faux pas. It doesn’t seem to have happened.
You can count me as someone who didn’t find the P thing remotely funny, first time or fifty thousandth. There were plenty of other irritating things about the show too:
[ul][li]the fact that many of the prizes were extremely generous, yet most of the contestants were upper middle class kids who could obviously afford their own flying lessons, round-the-world trips on a square rigger etc.[/li][li]the overabundance of cheesy, stuffed animal mascots with prissy names and “amusing” stories behind them (even the boys had 'em, fercrissake)[/li][li]the stupid hand jive routine they used to do at the end[/li][li]plenty more crap along those lines[/li][/ul]It seems harsh to say a quiz show could be enough to encourage a rational person to attack the studio with an automatic weapon, but it came closer than most as far as I’m concerned. Apparently it was first shown in the USA.
