Favorite Game Shows

Post Reply New Topic

My husband and I have been watching a lot of Family Feud lately. I also like to watch Let's Make A Deal and The Price Is Right.

As a little kid, being sick from school meant watching CBS at 10AM PT when Bob Barker hosted the Price is Right. That was one of my favorite game shows as a little kid. Watching it today with Drew Carey, and everyone saying hi to everyone they know in 13.634426 seconds during the showcase showdown, and all of the people who jump up and door and roll on the floor when they see a new car has killed the show for me. Also, Drew has little interaction with the contestants unlike Bob did. "Next time up for bids, George." I usually watch CNBC at 10AM now to catch up on stocks.

Wheel of Fortune is one of the few shows that still follows me from being a child. I'm very good at solving puzzles and it's great to see Pat & Vanna going into a 33rd syndicated season this fall!

I enjoyed Millionaire with Meredith Vieira and Regis Philbin. Terry Crews sucks and always is bombastically loud. I just wonder how Chris Harrison (Bachelor host) will do with hosting come September.

Very rarely will I watch Family Feud nowadays. Yes, Steve Harvey can be hilarious. But does the contestants always have to say a private part or sex slang for the ratings/Steve Harvey's reaction/"Good Answer Good Answer!!"?
Celebrity Name Game is another one of those "can't really stand but because nothing else is on, I'll watch it" shows. I once saw some bimbos who didn't know who Robert De Niro was during one of the rounds.

As a very little kid, we had PAX - and they had Supermarket Sweep with David Ruprecht. I loved the Big Sweep, when the contestants would run around with the carts and grab giant cheese blocks and turkeys. It used to be on Lifetime in the 1990s.
The show had originally come from ABC, which aired Supermarket Sweep from 1965-1967, it was revived for Lifetime in 1990 and later moved to PAX where it was cancelled around 2003.

I also enjoy the old Monty Hall Let's Make a Deal, and Press Your Luck with the late Peter Tomarken. It was GSN that introduced me to those shows.
