Game shows

Post Reply New Topic

I used to like "Wheel of fortune" we don't have it here anymore and "The price is right" also "Sale of the century" right now I'm watching "Hot seat" which is another version of "Who wants to be a millionaire"

I watched a lot of game shows when I was younger, mainly on GSN. I don't watch them as much now as I used to back then, but I will watch one occasionally.

Game shows I have watched in my life:

Wheel of Fortune
Jeopardy!
Family Feud
Match Game
Password
Password Plus
Super Password
Press Your Luck
Card Sharks
The "Pyramid" game shows
Who Wants To Be A Millionaire
Let's Make A Deal (both old and new versions)
The Price Is Right
Blockbusters
Body Language

@WitchsCat: Do you like $ale of the Century?

^ I haven't seen that show, so I can't tell if I like it or not.

Repeats of the show are on GSN every weekday morning 10 AM Eastern Time.

The CBS version of Match Game from the '70s was probably the best incarnation of that show. It's original incarnation from the mid-60, when it ran on NBC was quite dull. Unfortunately, those tapes no longer exist. The only recordings that exist are kinescopes, and even then, only 6 of those exist.

Here's an interesting one for you: Canadian cable channel
The Comedy Network revived the Match Game starting
last year.

I have probably watched game shows since I was a baby. Maybe it's an "autism effect", but I've really enjoyed loads of them. I can remember summer vacation, school breaks and when I was sick, watching The Price is Right with Bob Barker (and since I am 16, I mainly remember Rich Fields and now George Gray as announcers - I was only 5 when Rod Roddy passed away but I remember hearing him when I was young). Loved all of the games especially Punch a Bunch and Plinko, and the Showcase Showdown! Made perfect timing because my mom watched (and still does) Young and the Restless at 11 right after Price is Right.
We also had the PAX Network (remember that? Now it's Ion Television) and they would have Supermarket Sweep at 6PM weeknights. I used to watch it when I was about 4 or 5. Loved when the contestants would run the carts through the store and pick up as many items as they could!
I've probably known the names Pat Sajak and Vanna White as far back as a baby. I still watch Wheel of Fortune and I first remember it around 2001 when they were still using "eggcrate displays" for contestants' scores. I enjoy the bonus round and seeing those happy contestant faces. I can solve puzzles WAY faster than the contestants!
I also remember watching Shop Till You Drop, first with Pat Finn and then with JD Roberto around 2003 or 04. I enjoyed that show as well. GSN now shows the Pat Finn reruns in the afternoons now.
Didn't like Jeopardy and still don't - it's boring and rather tough. Why do I want to know who did something fantastic in Germany in the year 1363?
We got digital cable around 2007-and GSN on top of that. I started loving Press Your Luck and Let's Make a Deal reruns. Both Peter Tomarkan and Monty Hall were great hosts of both shows! Wish I was around to see those old-school 1970s/80s TPIR reruns they used to show in the late 1990s. We also got Nick GAS until they went to the N and then TeenNick in 2008, and I used to watch Legends of the Hidden Temple reruns a lot on there.
I watched Deal or No Deal for a long time as well. I actually used to write down the cash amounts in the cases in each week's episode! (Weird but true. I was 8 or 9.)
Didn't start watching Family Feud until Steve Harvey hosted and even though there's loads of sexual answers in the show now, Harvey is still very funny!
I hardly remember Card Sharks '01 even though I started watching game shows at this time. Then I viewed some episode clips on YouTube years later and now I know how crappy it was...

And maybe not 100% a game show because there were some musical performances here and there, but I really enjoyed a show called "Go For It". It was a kids show that aired on the weekends around 2003, two teams of pre teens playing in competitions and trivia. Used to watch it every Saturday afternoon back when I was in kindergarten. Then after moving here to Yakima, I discovered that same show aired on one of our local stations on the weekends and so it brings back some memories for me!

Anyone seen deal or no deal that has to be one of the stupidest shows I've ever seen

people picking boxes an random but the worst part about it is the players put so much effort in to what order to open them in and it really doesn't matter as no one knows what's in them anyway

I watched Deal or No Deal from the time it started to around 2007. Then I watched one of the millionaire episodes but I didn't really watch it after 2007, nor did I really enjoy the daytime version where the highest amount was $500,000.
I also watched Are You Smarter Than a 5th Grader? once in a while when it was primetime on Fox - I knew most of the 1st-4th answers.
Never got on to Minute to Win It either. Too many hard, dumb stunt challenges. I'd rather answer questions for a million dollars.
Which speaking of that, I remember watching Millionaire as early as when the primetime Regis Philbin version was about to end. (maybe late 2001) - then I remember watching the syndicated version which aired alongside Donny Osmond's "Pyramid" in my TV market (Seattle). (about 2003) I remember watching Nancy Christy win the million on the syndicated version in 2003. Now that Cedric the Entertainer (who sucks in my opinion) is hosting I never watch Millionaire anymore. I MISS MEREDITH AND REGIS!
Probably the dumbest game show I've seen yet was Wipeout! (the ABC show) People go through obstacle courses and almost always end up falling in the water. Horrible!

I've been a fan of both "Wheel of Fortune" and "Jeopardy!" since I was a kid, and I also loved the latter's spinoff, "Rock N Roll Jeopardy!". I've become a "Family Feud" fan in recent years, with my favorite hosts being John O'Hurley and Steve Harvey.

When I was little, I loved watching Supermarket Sweep, so I recently been watching a whole bunch of random ass Supermarket Sweep episodes lol.

I also like to watch Price is Right as I think Drew Carey is so charming. I sometimes like to watch Let's Make a Deal, but Wayne Brady gets on my nerves sometimes. Yeah he's funny, but I don't know.

I look at a bunch of other game shows too.
