Treasure Isle game show - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

I was actually a contestant on this show in January, 1968. I received my draft notice in March, 1968 and entered the Army in May, 1968. During my first week in the Army the show was aired. I asked our team leader if I could go into the orderly room to watch the show and it cost me 50 push-ups. I never did get to see the show. Does anyone know if there are is any way to track down this show? My kids doubt that I was actually on this show and I need to prove that I was.

Thanks

Maybe check to see if it's on YouTube? You can find all kinds of crazy and obscure stuff on there. LOL.

I looked on YouTube and yes they have episodes of it so maybe you can find the one you were on Mg1172@aol.com. I'd never heard of the show before so I looked it up, and it seems like it only ran for one season. Interesting premise though, and different from any other game shows I've seen. I don't remember there ever being another game show that took place outside. I'll have to go back to YouTube and watch a whole episode some time.

I believe the show lasted 2 seasons. I was in Florida on my friends honeymoon (long story) and was called at my hotel by the show. The shooting took place somewhere near Palm Beach, FL. This was in early 1968. When I arrived home my draft notice was waiting for me. I actually found a collector of all sitcoms and quiz shows that has the episode I was on. He wants to trade me for it but I have nothing that he wants. I offered to buy it and I'm waiting his reply. I'll check UTube.
Thanks for your response.

Sure you're welcome. That explains why I've never heard of it though. Apparently it ran from 1967 to 1969. And I wasn't born until February of 1969. LOL.
