Bill Rafferty's IMDb page also credits him with appearances on Family Feud, Match Game/Hollywood Squares Hour and Super Password, besides his hosting gigs on Every Second Counts, Card Sharks and Blockbusters. Oddly, IMDb confuses him with hoops coach and analyst Bill Raftery.
You can watch Bill on Family Feud. His hair is a bit longer. And people are squeamish about eating brains...maybe.
One of Bill's Super Password eps is here, from March 16, 1987. A little sad to see him with the deceased Bert Convy. At one point they start to switch host/contestant roles. Bill slips in a little dig at Angie Dickinson.
Other poster: Speaking of which, I think that's from said [Family Feud] DVD set. That's too good quality to come from anywhere else.
The Feud ep is very high-quality. But the Super Password ep looks pretty good, too. And it's video from GSN. Too bad the sound is sometimes out of sync. And not to give out any spoilers, but Rafferty plays very well in that March 16, 1987 ep, right down to the buzzer. After the third part of the video, there's a GSN bumper ad for...Regis Millionaire.
There are other Rafferty eps on YouTube from that week on Super Password. Enjoy!
Couldn't find anything about Bill Rafferty on Tattletales. But right at the beginning of that March 16, 1987 Super Password ep, it's mentioned that he appeared on Wordplay with Bert Convy. Wordplay was that very short-lived 1986-87 game show on NBC. Well, darned if Convy and Rafferty didn't appear on the show together, if this Wikia article is to be believed.
Rafferty also appeared on Scrabble with Tom Kennedy, as you can watch on YouTube (video quality is very so-so).
