Does anyone remember The Game Show Called Scrabble?

Yep, I sure do! :happyface "Scrabble" ran on NBC daytime from 7/2/84 to 3/23/90, and a brief revival followed from 1/18/93 to 6/11/93. Both versions were hosted by Chuck Woolery.

I remember Scrabble. It was Chuck Woolery's best game show since he left Wheel of Fortune. There were also bonuses for letters in the pink and blue squares. Let's not forget the Scrabble Sprint, where one player set a time and the other player tried to beat it with the same words.

yes I remember The Game Show Scrabble that used to air at 10:30 am CT Time I wish GSN would get rereruns of Scrabble.

Yes..

Since BCI is releasing FremantleMedia game shows that I'm hoping that Scrabble is on the list in the future so only time will tell...

what does BCI Mean

BCI = Brentwood Communications International

Both Scrabble and $ale of the Century (the 1983-89 U.S. version) will be tough acts to get a DVD release for. Scattergories, the game show, is also tough. Why? The shows were all produced by Reg Grundy Productions, which is now a part of FremantleMedia's Australian arm.

And if there are DVD releases of these shows, they will be best-ofs and will most likely be released through Mill Creek Entertainment. Mill Creek was the company that took over for Navarre, the last parent of BCI Eclipse.

I remember Scrabble with Chuck Woolery. It was one of NBC's most successful game shows of the 80, along with another show from Reg Grundy Productions, Sale of the Century. The game was also simple and the home audience could play along.

i'm assuming your talking about Scrabble (NBC/1984-90,1993) right MrCleveland?


anyway steviegriffinfan,did you know that The Hub cable network had attempted their short-lived game show version of Scrabble titled Scrabble Showdown with Justin Willman as host?

it ran from September 17, 2011-May 27, 2012 they even have a bonus round called Scrabble Lightning which sorta plays very similler to the NBC
days but not really.

well IMO I think The Hub's version was O.K. but I think if Frank Nicotero hosted SS while Justin Willman hosted TGOL i think it wouls have been
much better.

too bad it was short-lived though.

Yes, I know that Frosty81 (a.k.a ~Ben). but i was talking about The Hub's short-lived attempted version with Justin Willman better knowned as Scrabble Showdown. look, I already know that it will never, ever surpass
the almighty Chuck Woolery version that aired on NBC daytime in the 80's and breifly the 90's back in the day but i just want to mention about The Hub's version a little bit that's all.

I remember it fondly. My grandmother and I used to watch it together when I was home from school. I always liked the theme song. I always preferred Chuck Woolery hosting this rather than Love Connection.

which theme song?

is it the original one from 1984-1990 or from the short-lived 1993 revival?

Most likely it's the 1984-90 music.

I knew that Already Dude!

Scrabble is another game show that deserves to be shown in a new revival someday soon because Scrabble is such a fun game and the game show was so fun to watch. My aunt used to like to watch Scrabble in reruns and my cousin would get some of the words correct when they would watch the show. It's a surprise that Scrabble hasn't been revived since The Hub debuted Scrabble Showdown and GSN or BuzzrTV should think about airing Scrabble reruns someday on their channel lineups because it was a fun game show and it's no secret that Scrabble is truly America's Goodtime Game
