phhhst – I love to do crossword puzzles too, but I am terrible at them!

Jan – Yeah…I was a Match Game freak too.

MLS – I know what you mean. But sometimes THAT makes me feel really, really smart.

LiLu – Ryan, Wayne AND Collin (how could I have forgotten Collin?) are SOOOO FUNNY!!!! I even crack up at Ryan as “Herb” on Three and a Half Men!

Lisa – Who could forget the Gong show! LOL

SMB – I dont know the cabbie show. Hmmm..

Carol – “Hats” is hilarious!!!

Joders – I forgot about Sale of the Century…another fun show.

Game shows are great fun! I used to love Family Feud. I only ever get to watch Jeopardy when I’m in the US and I don’t get a lot of the answers but I have fun trying!

My other favourite is Sale of the the Century (now renamed Temptation, in Australia). I’ve been watching it since I was in my teens. Sadly it was cancelled last year due to to poor ratings (reality tv rates much better than game shows).

My dad & I would watch Millionaire and Jeopardy before dinner just to see which of the two of us could beat the other. So those are special memories for me.

And Whose Line? is the best improv show I’ve seen! I love Collin Mochre (sp?) esp. when they did the skit, “Hats.”

Jeopardy and Millionaire. I also like that game that is done in a cab ride in NYC. Not sure of the network or the name but MHS knows how to find it. LOL

OMG – I love all those shows. Today’s game shows are all based on those classics.

P.S. Remeber the Gong Show? What a hoot~

I LOVE Whose Line is it Anyway!!!! Ryan Stiles, Wayne Brady, and Colin Mockery (sp?) are all A-MAZ-ING.

I’ve never been a game show person, for some reason. Maybe it’s the fact that none of them listen when I scream the answer and that really frustrates me.

I was a Match Game FREAK during the Gene Rayburn days, when I was but a teenager. And just barely, at that. Don’t ask me why – my best friend and I became obsessed with that game show, along with Hogan’s Hero reruns and M*A*S*H. We were weird kids.

These days the only game show we watch, and we don’t watch it with any regularity, is Jepoardy. If we could tag-team, Beloved and I would kick ass.

Great post. I love game shows, but have gotten out of the habit. I used to watch a lot when I was younger.

My grandmother, who lived to be 92 and was sharp as a tack, watched game shows and did the LA times crossword puzzle everyday. She told me her doctor said these activities would help her not go senile. And she never did.
