Watching this made my day ... I missed the very first broadcast~!

Check out the set, lighting, first host, and best of all "the numbers game."

Anyone out there ever win the $25,000, the vacation, or a car?

There was a period when they put the name of every buyer (that day) into a drum, and at midnight they drew a name for a $1,000.00 credit at QVC. The drawing was held at midnight, and I rarely stayed up for that. Kathy L. drew my name, but I didn't know it for a few days. Got a call from the Q asking me why I hadn't called in to acknowledge the gift, and was very surprised.

I remember when Kathy picked that out of the drum!

Congrats on your win @Perkup .

Too funny. I didn't start getting it on cable until 1991.

That's so funny. I like the old QVC logo with the telephone receiver on top. Thanks for posting!

Thanks for the link, @Mona_L. What a trip down memory lane!

I may not agree with what you say, but I will defend, til death, your right to say it

Thanks! My my my, how things have changed! I remember the number game and drawing names in the early days. I think they were still drawing numbers in the late 90's, weren't they?

Kathy ... thanks for mentioning the K. Levine clip w/Joan. I never saw that "live", what a treasure viewing it. There were many QVC clips to watch on the "right side." I miss "those days."
