Supermarket Sweep
Ойын-сауық
My appearance on the game show. Run, lard ass, run!
Not to spoil the "secrets" of the sweep, but just some behind-the-scenes stuff for those that are interested:
As contestants, prior to the taping of your episode, they let you walk through the supermarket for 10 minutes, so you can get an idea of what things cost. That's one of the reasons you never saw people really looking closely at the prices of things while they were shopping. You had to have a game plan (and I did!)
The studio audience isn't nearly as big as they want you to believe. There are mirrors on both sides of the stage. With the exception of the contestants, the audience that is there are paid extras, which is why most of them are only slightly enthusiastic. They tape the inros of several episodes at once, so that once the game play begins, there is no audience. The rest of the game is done in an otherwise silent studio! So all of that extra clapping is added later. The store really was as big as a real grocery store (so to see it put together on a soundstage was pretty amazing). The food was expired, though. And some of them (like the meat) were, as you would expect, props.
The winners go home with a check in the amount of their sweep, but the 2nd and 3rd place contestants only got a sweatshirt! So it really was all or nothing, in terms of winning.
As for my own performance, as you could tell, at 200 pounds, I did not have the best cardio endurance of my life. In fact, prior to the sweep, I couldn't tell you the last time I'd run, let alone having to hustle for over 3 minutes! When the sweep was over, we were ushered backstage where they gave me a pitcher of water (I was clearly about to pass out from dehydration) and before you knew it we were back on the stage for the totals. Frankly, by the time the final dash came up I was still so out of it that I wasn't totally with it, otherwise I'd like to think I would have been quicker about that second clue.
All in all, it was a fun time, and I miss watching the show!

This TV show really needs to come back. I loved it when I was younger. And I can almost guarantee it will be even more popular now than before with America's growing love for everything material.

+William M. True except...the 'NEW' America loves crappy shows now a days...it needs to have drama, sex, drugs, violence, and other stuff that doesn't necessarily make a good show...just look at GSN...Baggage game show...really?! ahaha I would love it though...I grew up watching this and miss the old PAX tv station.
Me and my mom would watch this when I was little nearly every night lol.

This and Shop Til You Drop I would watch literally every night.
Bring back Supermarket Sweep! One of the most spectacular game shows ever! There's only one person who's capable of emceeing this fast-paced, high-energy program...David Ruprecht! He makes watching "The Sweep" fun & enjoyable! I love hearing "The Ruper"'s oft-used remarks: "Welcome to Supermarket Sweep!", "These contestants will be running wild through the aisles" & "Somewhere out in our market is $5000, & it's up to you to find it.". I miss Supermarket Sweep. Bring it back!
I sooo remember and loved this show!!!

Kelli Grey yeah I know it's been several years
This used to be one of me and my mom's favorite shows. I loved it.
I miss the good old days watching this as a little baby!
My mom and I watched this show religiously when I was a kid. This show and "Shop til you drop" were the best!
I loved this show! I haven't seen it for years. Thank you so much for the whole episode.
Thank you for sharing. My daughter LOVED this show when she was 3 and would push her little toy cart around the house.
I loved this show as a kid! Thanks for posting it and adding the behind the scenes stuff. Very cool!
Thank you. It has been 17 years since he passed, but happy memories come back at the strangest times! :) Thanks again!
Me and my mom always use to laugh as people bumped and banged trying to rotate for the round robin round on the little stage. You guys were fantastic, It was like syncronized swomming. Flawless.
Thank you for sharing this! I used to watch this show all the time, along with shop till you drop! Loved it!
This is awesome. I used to watch this with my mom when I was a kid. We were just talkin About this on Christmas. Along with shop til you drop, and double dare lol
Greatest combination of game shows, consumerism and sweaters. Ever.
I used to love this show!! Thank's for posting!
I loved this game show every time when I come home from school I turn on the TV and watch this game show in the living room.
This show was AWESOME. I used to watch it with my dad every day after school. He passed away when I was in 8th grade. Thanks for posting this! It made me think of happy memories!!!!
"THANK YOU" 😂😂😂 The announcer during the sweep run is so funny
As a kid, SuperMarket Sweep was one of my favorite shows. I used to watch it religiously as a kid along with "Shop 'til you Drop", "Candid Camera", Louie Anderson era "Family Feud", and "Balderdash". This was when PAX was good tv. I remember when SS was taken off and we just got one full hour of STYD (it was shortly after they brought in the Costco version of the store). You know, GSN recently aquired the 2000-2003 episodes of Shop 'til You Drop. With that, there may just be a chance that we could see SS on the air once again. I hope GSN airs it soon.

UPDATE: I think the reason why this show can't be broadcast anymore is because of all the companies not wanting their names being seen without $$$. Considering that there were THOUSANDS of company names..... well uh..... this show would be very expensive to play on GSN.

I loved Supermarket Sweep!!! I watched this show many times!!! And Shop 'till you Drop too!!!!!
When I was younger my mom would take me and my sister to the store and if she was in a rush she would tell us to play Supermarket Sweep and we run down the isles to find what she needed really fast. It was so much fun and lotss of amazinf memories! I miss this show!

This show is one of my all time favorites
I always loved this show along with the price is right and wheel of fortune
I loved watching this when I was really little, such an awesome show
This show gives me memories. I watched it when I was 7,8,9 years old and the reruns from 10-12. I have not watched it since 2005 a rerun when I was 12.
I used to watch this show all the time, I remember after dinner we would come out in the living room, and turn on the TV and this show would come on. \ PS. I had such a good childhood indeed! And it's sad that this show got cancelled. But it's a good thing it's on KZread now, well almost all of the episodes anyway.
OMG!! i loved this show. i used to watch this with my mom. good times
used to love this show thanks for sharing this:)
wow talk about a razor thin win, the extra 30 seconds, the tootsie roll sweep, and the 50 extra early in the game really saved you, but im glad you won to share it with the rest of us. I
Steven, Great Vid. Thanks for sharing and providing an insight "behind the scenes" of the show. I always thought that 2nd & 3rd place contestants would at least let them keep the equivalent cost of the food. Seems that the best strategy for playing this game to help increase the total is getting all the bonuses allowed, easier said than done of course. I don't think in all the times I've seen the show, that anyone has loaded their carts with any sort of "wax" produce.
I Missed the show more the ever! I dig David's new look!
I miss this show sooo much!!! I wish it still aired.
loved this show.
Nikki tried to be slick and grabbed an extra bonus 🤣🤣🤣🤣
I miss genuine game shows like this!! Lol of course you knew the naked lady question Steven lol bad boyyy!!
I used to watch this show. It should still be on the air
dude this ranks right up with the price is right haha! i love it!
Wow, I used to love this show. I used to watch this show with my mom when I was a little girl...Thanks for all the insight on the behind the scenes stuff. That is really interesting.
i love this i wish they bring it back on air

Loved the show! Host gives me the creeps! I ran into John Lithgow riding up the Campanile Tower on the campus of UC Berkeley!
we used to have this show in Australia back in the 90's, but an Australian version... used to love it...
I love how detailed the narrator is.
I loved this show.
