The 1982 Showboat Invitational was 1 of the ABC's Professional Bowlers Tour telecasts that the ABC station where I happen to live in (WYTV-33, Youngstown, Ohio) didn't carry in the early 1980's.
Not quite downtown... Boulder Strip... but I miss it dearly also...

Did Steve Martin said the “F” word at 29:02 while missing the 10 pin? No wonder in the 80’s that a professional bowler gets away with swearing haha.
the second and title matches were exciting and very close

Sam Zurich lost that New York accent when He moved to Florida. :) He showed great class with that strong finish.
Jim Miller did not have any open frames in the title match against Pete Weber
