Game Shows from Earlier Times

[disney junky]

I grew up with Concentration. Password. To Tell the Truth. What's My Line. Later...the Match Game. Hollywood Squares was a favorite.

What were your favorites?

Press Your Luck....Big bucks, no whammies!

 

[Kathryn Merteuil]

I remember watching Hollywood Squares a lot. I also remember watching The Price is Right with Bob Barker like every day during summer vacation when I was a kid.

*clarification, TPIR with Bob Barker hosting, not that I was actually watching the show with him

I remember watching $10,000 pyramid, Jokers Wild, Card Sharks, Price is Right with Bob Barker, and Wheel of Fortune when Vanna actually had to turn over the letters.

Supermarket sweep, good one. I loved that one!

I LOVED GSN when I was growing up. Match game was my favorite. I'm glad they brought it back.

 

[zoo2tycoon]

There was one where they could win a house-
Think called Dream House

High Rollers (rolled dice)
Money Maze (think that’s what it was called where one would tell person how to run through maze and they’d win money)

 

[rajak73]

Loved the Newlywed Game!

We used to watch lots of game shows during the summer when we were kids...Joker's Wild and Card Sharks were my favorites.

Sale of the Century

i had a college professor who went on it and was very successful-he 'bought' as many vacations as he could during the course of his appearances. his goal was to be able to travel for as many years as possible during his summer breaks (and he did).

I'll take the ceramic Dalmatian for $250 and the rest on a gift certificate.

 

[dominiondad]

Candlepins for Cash (Bowling for Dollars). Channel 38 in Boston. The best bowler in the world could win up to $50 or so.

Exactly! I used to feel kind of bad for people, because I *think* they had to keep spending until there was nothing left they could afford and they'd end up with goofy stuff, however I now think it would be pretty cook to have a 30+ year old WoF ceramic Dalmatian in your house!
