I loved watching Wheel of Fortune and The Price is Right with my nana. We used to play along with the contestants.

For kids' game shows, I loved Fun House, Double Dare, and Making the Grade. I think they were all on Nickelodeon. There were lots of great game shows on TV for kids in the 80's and early 90's.

I use to love Mtv's Remote Control

Face the Music I liked as well

Lots of them! Well, the ones from the late 80s-early 90s, at least.

Match Game, Joker's Wild, Tic Tac Doe, To Tell the Truth, Hollywood Squares, Card Sharks....there was a lot of great game shows when I was a kid.

For kids' game shows, I loved Fun House, Double Dare, and Making the Grade. I think they were all on Nickelodeon.

Actually, Fun House was a syndicated game show (I remember it aired on the Fox affiliate where I lived at that time). The other two you mentioned were Nickelodeon game shows, though.

During my teenage years in the 70s, I would watch Hollywood Squares, The Price is Right, Match Game, Pyramid, Password, Beat the Clock and Let's Make a Deal. I would regularly go to see Pyramid, What's My Line and To Tell The Truth tape in NYC.

Beat the Clock, Truth or Consequences, The Jokers Wild, To Tell the Truth, Let's Make a Deal, Hollywood Squares, Match Game

As a kid it was pretty much all Nickelodeon for me:

Double Dare, Finders Keepers, Wild and Crazy Kids, What Would You Do?, Nick Arcade, Legends of the Hidden Temple, and GUTS.


I also watched on Saturday mornings Secrets of the Cryptkeeper's Haunted House which didn't last too long.

I also watched on Saturday mornings Secrets of the Cryptkeeper's Haunted House which didn't last too long.

That was a CBS Saturday morning game show from the 1996-97 season.

There were so many. The Price Is Right (used to watch with my grandma, who's passed on), Wheel Of Fortune, Jeopardy, Family Feud (Ray Combs version), USA's game show block (which introduced me to Dick Clark's Pyramid and Press Your Luck, among many others), and in later years, the recent version of Hollywood Squares and Who Wants To Be A Millionaire.

As for kid's game shows, I loved Double Dare, Get The Picture, Make The Grade, and a whole bunch of other Nickelodeon game shows.

The Price is Right
Jokers Wild
Tic Tac Toe
Jeoapardy
Wheel of Fortune
Family Feud
To Tell The Truth
Whats My Line
This Is Your Life
Quiz Bowl

Classic Concentration, Double Dare, Pyramid, Win, Lose or Draw and Jeopardy (the latter I still watch today!)

My favorite was Sale of The Century. I also loved Scrabble, Super Password and Password Plus, Body Language, Jokers Wild and Tic Tac Dough. Another favorite was USA's Jackpot. I sure do miss those days.

Match Game, Hollywood Squares, Family Feud, Joker's Wild, Make Me Laugh

I watched the Pyramid, Hollywood Squares, Password, Match Game, Concentration, Joker's Wild, and one no one else has mentioned, Celebrity Sweepstakes. Oh, and later Family Feud became a favorite.

Concentration, You Don't Say, '60s Match Game, and GE College Bowl.

As I kid, I loved watching game shows. I enjoyed 'The Price Is Right', 'Classic Concentration', 'Blockbusters'(Bill Rafferty version), Scrabble', 'The $25,000 Pyramid', 'Family Feud'(Ray Combs version) and 'Sale of the Century'.

I was born June 1978 and I consider myself to be an 80's and 90's kid so during the teen years in the 90's I loved watching the nick game shows like Wild and Crazy Kids,Legends of the Hidden Temple,Nickelodeon Guts,Global Guts,Make the Grade,Get the Picture,Nick Arcade,DD2K,Family Double Dare,Super Sloppy Double Dare,Original Double Dare with Marc Sommers, and What Would You Do with Marc Sommers.

As an adult, I still love watching all these game shows. In the 90's I loved watching non nickelodeon game shows like Who Wants to be a Millionare and Gladiators 2000 gladiator show for kids.I still watch these non nickelodeon game shows today and I still watch the nickelodeon game shows as an adult.

I like are you smarter than a 5th grader & i also love to watch Who wants to be a Millionaire.

Supermarket Sweep

Double Dare, Finders Keepers, Wild and Crazy Kids, What Would You Do?, Nick Arcade, Legends of the Hidden Temple, and GUTS.


I also watched on Saturday mornings Secrets of the Cryptkeeper's Haunted House which didn't last too long.



I second that. The Nickelodeon late 80s/early 90s block of game or competition shows were the greatest! Legends of the Hidden Temple was quite epic.
I also loved to watch Fun House, that show where contestants ran through a random theme house and collected prize or cash price tags, though it wasn't on Nick.

Name that Tune--The host, Tom Kennedy, was one of only 2 people to whom I ever wrote a fan letter (though I was a completely celebrity-obsessed teen LOL!). I received an autographed photo in reply.

I used to watch the Who, What, or Where Game hosted by Art James, and Three On A Match hosted by Bill Cullen. Most episodes of old game shows like these are believed to be lost or destroyed, that's too bad because it would be great to see these shows again.

Update: I checked on you tube, and there is an episode of Three On A Match and Who, What, or Where Game posted on there. Was fun to see those again, but it's unfortunate that very few episodes of these shows exist. At least there is something still available for viewing.

There were so many good ones I enjoyed like the original Hollywood Squares with Peter Marshall as the host,the Match Game,Lets Make A deal with Monty Hall hosting,really to many to list.

I would say Sale of The Century with Jim Perry, The Jokers Wild with either Jack Barry or Pat Finn, Tic Tac Dough with either Wink Martindale or Patrick Wayne and of course the Wheel/J! combo.

Back in 1997 & 1998, i watched Figure It Out on Nickelodeon because i enjoy most of the Seasons 1 & 2 episodes when it originally aired.

When I was a kid my grandfather and great grandmother would spend many happy hours watching Wheel Of Fortune and I would watch with them because every time it would come on it was a comedy show because my grandfather claimed to know all the answers to the puzzles and my great grandmother accused him of cheating but I would chant out the answers to the puzzles before my grandfather knew the answers but I was only three years old and my grandfather would call me very smart. As I grew older my interest grew to cartoons but one game show that my mom and I loved to watch was Supermarket Sweep and we hardly ever missed an episode and every time we watched it I would always dream that my mom and I would be contestants on Supermarket Sweep and even still today Supermarket Sweep is still my favorite game show
Bestie

My favorite childhood memories of gameshows are as follows.....

-Coming home from Elementary School and watching "Where in the World is Carmen Santiago?" (1991-1996)

-Watching "Supermarket Sweep" & "Debt" on Lifetime from 1996 to 1998. These shows would always come on from 6-7 PM/Eastern so I always hoped that my Mom would cook an early dinner and most of the time she did!!!!!

-Getting up at 7 AM Saturday Morning just so I could watch reruns of "Nick Arcade" and "Family Double Dare" (1995-1997)

-Watching "Legends of the Hidden Temple" and "Global Guts." Saturday Afternoons from 5 to 6 PM. (1995-1997)

-Sometime between 10 AM-Noon on Saturday Mornings I watched a Locally Produced Quiz Show out of WJZ-TV Baltimore called "It's Academic!" I always hoped to go on there as a High School Student but I went to a small High School (under 600 students) and for extracurricular activities they only offered sports or band.

When I was a kid, there was Nick GAS. So that's how I got into the classic game shows like Figure It Out, Legends Of The Hidden Temple, Finders Keepers, etc.

Oh, and there was also the old GSN as well. I remember watching things like Whammy and Press Your Luck.

Watching American Gladiators, first on our ABC affiliate, then on USA Network later on. A memory i have of this show was when the contender, Betsy Erickson was competing in that event with the rings (can't remember which one), and she and the gladiator, either Elektra or Lace, got tangled up and they both went down, and it broke the gladiator's nose. There was another time, when i saw Zimbob Schwartze get manhandled during an event that had the cylinders (powerball?) and they changed the rules after that, then she broke her leg during that obstacle course at the end and seeing her lying on the floor in real pain kind of frightened me.

When I was a kid back in the 60s, there were a bunch of game shows on during the day. Concentration and Jeopardy were probably my two favorites. There was also a show called Snap Judgement hosted by Ed McMahon, but it only lasted a couple years. And there was another called PDQ which aired in the late 60s.

Concentration
The Dating Game
Let's Make a Deal
The Newlywed Game
Password
To Tell the Truth
Family Feud

Jeopardy was and still is by far my favorite. I used to come home from school for lunch at noon and watch with Art Fleming as the host.

I also watched the original Match Game, Password, You Don't Say, To Tell the Truth, Let's Make a Deal and some silly ones like The Newlywed Game and The Dating Game.

I don't think anyone has mentioned High Rollers yet, that's surprising. Also, I think Love Connection qualifies and that's been absent from this thread too -- though I watched in my young adulthood.

I watched so many different series from the '70s on. An exception is I don't recall ever seeing The Cross-Wits (1975-80), I was unaware of it until recent years.

Jeopardy was and still is by far my favorite. I used to come home from school for lunch at noon and watch with Art Fleming as the host.

I also watched the original Match Game, Password, You Don't Say, To Tell the Truth, Let's Make a Deal and some silly ones like The Newlywed Game and The Dating Game.

I liked all of these game shows. In Phila. Jeopardy was on Channel 17 (independent) since KYW NBC did news at noon. This was the Art Fleming version which was on for years, and I also came home from school for lunch and watched. My mother was watching a soap on another TV (probably Love of Life) while I watched Jeopardy.

I really liked You Don't Say with Tom Kennedy for some reason. And I also enjoyed the original Match Game, which was also hosted by Gene Rayburn, like the 70s version.

The Newlywed Game and the Dating Game were fun shows too. I don't know how I managed to see all of these shows and go to school, too. Probably why I didn't see Let's Make A Deal too often.

Press Your Luck and Let’s Make A Deal when I was really young (3 or 4).

As I got older, I liked those plus TPIR, Family Feud, Jeopardy, and Wheel of Fortune, and during my teen years I loved Weakest Link and Greed and Deal Or No Deal.

The original NBC Concentration’s my all time numero uno.

Also although it’ll never compare with the 70s version, the 60s Match Game was interesting in its scoring system (too complicated to explain here, but YouTube has a couple of them from 1964). I SO wanna see the color videotape 1969 episode, but it’s at the Paley Center in NYC.

The 1974-75 Jackpot! was great and shoulda been on longer; great writers with puns & riddles galore. There’s one original episode (search JACKPOT 38750 on YouTube) that’s must-see.

Many others too, like the original Password & To Tell the Truth. Goodson-Todman Productions had success with its “K.I.S.S.” philosophy!

cd

Concentration with Hugh Downs

Jeopardy with Art Fleming

You Don't Say! with Tom Kennedy

The Dating Game with Jim Lange

The Newlywed Game with Bob Eubanks

The (daytime NBC) Match Game with Gene Rayburn

I also saw Treasure Isle with, I think, John Bartholomew Tucker. I think that was a short run.

I'm probably missing some, and of course the viewing was mostly in summer.

Yes I missed You Don’t Say. Story went that Goodson-Todman sued Ralph Andrews as YDS being a ripoff of Password. If you see the 1963 episodes on YT, the set is exactly the same style. Later 60s episodes show Tom Kennedy off to the side and not in between the couples. That later setup does look stupid (I never gave it a thought as a kid), but it was part of the settlement to keep YDS going.

I do remember a Kids or Teens Week on the show where a young girl won the car on the Bonus Board—all conditions were met: a 3-0 “blitz game,” & the famous name had to be solved on the first clue WITHOUT help from the celeb. The name on the Board was Jimmy Dean which she guessed, with only the “me” (the -“my” in JimMY) revealed.

Oh how I wish more survived.

Forget that 70s version :P

BTW if you see the 1963 one with Mary Tyler Moore and Keenan Wynn, there was a Bonus Board suggestion sent in, but the complete name isn’t put together (one syllable missing). I chalk it up to the show feeling its way along.

cd

I forgot --

Password with Allen Ludden

To Tell The Truth with Bud Collyer

I later became a fan of the old What's my Lines with John Charles Daly. Classy people with manners, something that went by the wayside. It's a miracle that most of the 876 episodes were saved on kinescope.

^ Dis!

Goodson-Todman were smart to keep kinnies. Of course the Mon-Fri stuff they couldn’t all keep back then.

“What’s My Line?” wouldn’t work today. I have seen the so-called contemporary celebs. It would be “all about them”.

"K.I.S.S."?

"K.I.S.S."?


K.I.S.S. = Keep It Simple…..

The last S, I’ll just say “Silly”, although the word really is “st*p*d”.

Very common “principle”.

I've been trying to remember that one. Like you said, it wasn't on that long, but I remember only being able to watch the first ten minutes or so because I had to walk back to school. The only thing I remember about it was the contestants being in blow up rafts in a pool trying to collect treasure map pieces floating in the water. I never got to see the rest of the show.

I would rush home to get there before 12 Noon to watch Jeopardy, finish my creme cheese and jelly (actually jam) sandwich by the first break, and see if I could answer any questions. When I started, I was only 6, so I didn't know many answers. I tried to get on the show in my 20's but the way it was then before the internet, it was very difficult unless you lived near LA when they moved the show there.

I liked Concentration, Celebrity Sweepstakes, Hollywood Squares, Match Game, Password, High Rollers. I am sure I left off a few.

Yes I missed You Don’t Say. Story went that Goodson-Todman sued Ralph Andrews as YDS being a ripoff of Password. If you see the 1963 episodes on YT, the set is exactly the same style.

I remember my late grandmom watching a YDS show where a young girl won the car on the Bonus Board—all conditions were met: a 3-0 “blitz game,” & the famous name had to be solved on the first clue WITHOUT help from the celeb. The name on the Board was Jimmy Dean which she guessed, with only the “me” (the -“my” in JimMY) revealed. My grandmom was shocked that would happen because it didn't happen often, My grandmom's face was of envy while the young girl was so happy while John Harlan did the car plug. I wish that John Harlan would have ad libbed something like "can you believe that!" (simply becuase of the situation, espcally given it was a young girl) becuase i remember Jack Clark doing that on Wheel of Fortune when someone won a car in the 80s.

Let's make a deal, Newlywed game, The dating game , Truth or consequences , To tell the truth

Than as a pre teen/ young teenager Tattletales and Match game

These are the ones I watched when I was age 10 or under:

The Price Is Right (car prizes needing only 4 digits, wow)
The Joker's Wild
Let's Make a Deal
The Newlywed Game
To Tell the Truth

I later watched Family Feud, Match Game, The Gong Show, Pyramid, Password, Tattletales, Card Sharks, High Rollers, and Gambit. Lots of those mainly in the summer months.

I may have seen What's My Line but can't say for certain. A little of Truth or Consequences and Tic Tac Dough.

Bingo Blitz (I’m younger than I look)

Let's make a deal, Newlywed game, The dating game , Truth or consequences , To tell the truth

Than as a pre teen/ young teenager Tattletales and Match game

I always like seeing Betty White's numerous game show appearances whenever Buzzr shows them on their schedule, including Match Game and Password.

The Dating Game
Let's Make a Deal
The Newlywed Game
Concentration
Password
To Tell the Truth
Family Feud

All those listed above....... The 70s and 80s were goregous :(

I used to enjoy watching Press Your Luck on the USA Network--as part of its daily block of game shows, of course--as well as Trivial Pursuit on the Family Channel (now Freeform) as a preteen at home during summer vacations from school way back in the early nineties.

Very sad :(

I also loved Double Dare and Finders Keepers, both staples on Nickelodeon in the late eighties.

Ya Double Dare was good :)

Being born in 1959, I was practically raised on the original “Concentration.” Something really got to me with that mechanical board, and matching prizes.

Sadly only a handful of episodes have survived. A few are on YouTube. The finale of the 1969 Challenge of Champions was quite the surprise.

Although almost all are kinescopes, four minutes or so of a 1971 show survives on color videotape.

Aside from the show, as a kid, I asked for—and almost always got—the home game from Milton Bradley each and every Christmas or my birthday. I have the first two editions purchased on eBay.

There is quite a story on the development of the show. The late Norm Blumenthal, who not only drew up each and every rebus puzzle for the show’s almost 15 years, but also every home game rebus, narrated a video called “Thanks for Playing Concentration”—>

The story of its demise is chronicled here as well.

As a kid it was pretty much all Nickelodeon for me:

Double Dare, Finders Keepers, Wild and Crazy Kids, What Would You Do?, Nick Arcade, Legends of the Hidden Temple, and GUTS.


I also watched on Saturday mornings Secrets of the Cryptkeeper's Haunted House which didn't last too long.

I used to watch the shows you mentioned, Double Dare, Finders Keepers, Wild and Crazy Kids, What Would You Do?, Nick Arcade, Legends of the Hidden Temple, and GUTS, they were different and were for kids, unlike the network daytime and syndicated game shows then, although i liked American Gladiators too.
