Gooja has "same ole same ole" and "same-o same-o" from 1990. Gooja isn't a reliable indicator of usage before 1994 (too few posts), so the phrase could be considerably older.

At a tangent, wg, is egad common in the States or were you using it facetiously? It's not used here much, if at all.

I dunno, I use it a lot.Or did you mean "egad" specifically, as opposed to "egads"? I suppose I use them about equally."Gadzooks" is up there, too.
