Tell me what game shows past or present, that you like/liked to watch!

I used to love "Love Connection" with Chuck Woolery and from my early days, The $25,000 Pyramid!

YES! He was about half squiffy on every show he was on I think, including Hogan's Heroes. He was LEWD too!

There's a DVD release of the best of Match Game, with commentary from Brett Sommers.

As for Richard Dawson, his kissing women on the show is how he met his wife! She was a contestant and he asked her out. When he came back as host of Family Feud he refused to kiss women because his young daughter didn't like him doing it.

I liked Wheel of Fourtune when Chuck Woollery was the host. I never got into the Pat Sajak version. I also loved Tattletales with Bert Convy (from the 70s - real-life celebrity couples answering questions).

My all time fave!!! The newer versions were so much fun with all the celebrities.

I also liked "You Don't Say" and "Password". I remember the time when Peter Bonerz and Dick Gautier were the celebs and Alan Ludden said "Here is the word, Dick and Peter." Then he stopped and realized what he said. The look on his face was priceless!

New shows.. I really like 1 vs 100,, that's addicting.. Deal or No Deal is cool too!!! I also like greed.. that was a good one.. I like Lingo.. that's a cool one too...

Older (well for my age).. I like Price is Right,, the much earlier ones, with chic with fly away hair and stuff..
I also liked Press Your Luck, and Let's Make a Deal with Monty Hall..
OH and I love the reruns for "What's my Line?" with that Daly guy... John I think... .

Gotta love me some "GSN"..

I looooooved Tattletales with Bert Convy! Ever wonder why it was the blue team, the red team....but the banana team? Why not "yellow"?
And what about that "squonky" porn-sounding theme music? (Yes, I think I just made that word up.......)

All the game shows from the 70s and early 80s are warm fuzzies for me because I have fond memories watching them with my grandma. Let's see:

Match Game (most definitely!
)
Family Feud (w/Richard Dawson)
Card Sharks
Press Your Luck
Price is Right
(I had my Barker's Beauties' "hand swish" down pat as a kid!)
Child's Play
Newlywed Game (another lewd one...and I'm watching these w/grandma! LOL)
Treasure Hunt (bunches and bunches of stacked up gifts to choose from....)

I liked who wants to be a millionaire, I love wheel of fortune, jeopardy is okay but one game show that I couldn't stand is the weakest link.

Where my cats are
My all time favorite game show has always been and probably always will be The Price is Right!

I ate my lunch every day with Grandma while watching it. And if someone should have the chance to win a car and Gram was still fixing lunch in the other room, I'd scream and I mean scream! "GRANDMA! A CAR!!!!"


Oh and I always thought the fact that my Grandma and Bob Barker and the same age was really cool!
