TV Game Shows

Do you watch them...do you have any favorites old or new?

There were so many on when I was a kid, I used to like the old Concentration and Let's Make a Deal but don't really watch the current ones except for maybe an occasional Wheel of Fortune.

However there is a new channel, Buzzr, that broadcasts a lot of the old games shows and its a pretty interesting blast from the past. My new old favorites are I've Got a Secret, What's My Line and Match Game...you have to smile when you see the old celebrities and 'new' inventions as well as the fashion trends and hair dos from back in the day.

Here's their TV schedule:

Jeopardy! Watch it almost everyday, and probably will until its off the air or I am.

I pretty much watched all of them at one time or the other, however, I still catch Wheel of Fortune and Jeopardy a couple of times a week.

I love it when the category on Jeopardy is "The Bible" - I almost always ace those.

I used to love a lot of them. Family Feud, Match Game (early on, not the later format that got nasty), The Price is Right (took my daughters down for a taping hoping we'd get chosen, but we didn't), $25,000 Pyramid, Jeopardy, To Tell the Truth, I've Got a Secret, What's My Line (those go way back).

As for my mention above of The Price is Right. We had a T-shirt made for my middle daughter that said, "Bob, Ask Me What I Said About You When I Was Five Years Old." We thought that would help her get chosen, but it didn't. What she had said as she walked into the living room and saw The Price is Right was on, she looked at me and said, "I love God, my dad, and Bob Barker." I thought that would get her on the show for sure.

I usually get all of them about 99% of the time. The ones I get stumped on sometimes are which mountain or river a particular event occurred.

It use to be that 9 times out of 10, the Daily Double would be in the Bible category, but they've changed that to only once in a while. Must've gotten some complaints.

One of my best friends won a refrigerator on The Price is Right about 12 years ago. She still uses it. The best refrigerator she's owned so far.

Oh, how cool is that? - I'm assuming the delivery was free, but did she have to pay any state sales tax on it?

Jeopardy is the only one I ever watched that I really liked. "The Joker's Wild" may be a close second but it has been so many years I don't remember what it was about. The rest of them I suffered through as a kid due to no cable TV and only a few channels to select from.

From 77-81 we had one tv channel.

WOW! Went through that when I first to Japan in 1982. We had the "Armed Forces Network" which showed some television stuff and propaganda Military infomercials. The other channels were only helpful if you knew Japanese.

My visits back home made me want to watch REAL commercials
