Chuck Woolery's "If you land on bankrupt, you lose all your cash, but not your merchandise because once you buy a prize, it's yours to keep."

Dick Clark's "list of the things that fit the subject..."

Tom Kennedy's "that's the word You Don't Say."

Tom Kennedy's "that's the word You Don't Say."

for WOF and no offense to your knowledge but I believe it actually "but not your "Mechandise" because once you buy a prize it's yours to keep"

for the "list of the hings that fit the subject" i'm guessing that's from the "Pyramid" franchise if i'm not mistaken.

My bad. Thanks for the correction.

Tell that to the current batch of million dollar quiz shows!

Anne Robinson: "Now the rules. In each round, the aim is to answer enough questions correctly to reach your £1,000 target within the time limit. The fastest way is to create a chain of nine correct answers. Get your question wrong and you break the chain and lose all the money in that chain. If say 'BANK' before your question is asked, the money is safe. However, you'll start a new chain from scratch. Remember, team, only money that has banked can be carried over to the next round. In round one, there are three minutes on the clock. We'll start with the player whose name is first alphabetically. That's you, Cheryl. Let's play the Weakest Link!"

VOTING OVER...time to reveal who you think is the weakest link!

From the beloved Peter Marshall:

"The object of the game is to get three stars in a row, either across, up-and-down or diagonally. The player has to determine if the star has the correct answer or is making one up...."

And: "A player who wins five matches and $2,000 will drive away with this:

"It's a Chevrolet Vega, the little car that does everything well...equipped with automatic transmission, radio, heater and whitewall tires...furnished by CHEVROLET...back to you, Peter!"

Peter Tomarken: "Remember, you can pass your spins at any time during your turn if you have a fear of the Whammy, and 4 Whammies puts you in your car, on the freeway, with tears in your eyes."

PYL a.k.a Press Your Luck of course!

Bob Barker:

"The one of you who comes closest to the actual retail price without going over is the winner. All of our prices are in dollars. Our first bid is from Charlie. Charlie, what is your bid?"

hm interesting...

What's Interesting?

Even though I don't watch Family Feud I memorized the Fast Money rules by heart,
"In a few minutes I'm gonna ask you the same five answers
"Please do not duplicate the answers because if you do you'll hear this sound
{Buzzer sound effect**
"And if you can't think of anything to say just say Pass and then if time allows we'll come back to it
"If you and your friend team up and get a perfect score you'll be the winners of $25,000
Pretty awesome isn't it,

Remember, the answer must be in the form of a question.

Here is a real funny one:

Marc Summers: "I'm going to ask a question and if you don't know the answer or think the other team doesn't have a clue, you can dare them to answer it for you for double the dollars, but be careful, because they can always double dare you back, and then you have to either answer the question or take the physical challenge."

Another real funny one:

Phil Moore: Here's how we play: You're gonna take Mikey, our Video Adventurer, and you're gonna move him all around the screen, in every direction except diagonally. Now, as you do this, you're gonna run into our four Ps: Points, Puzzles, Pop Quizzes, and Prizes. Be careful, though, because there is an enemy up there, and if you run into them, control gets zip from you right to the other team. All questions in Round 1 are worth 25 points, and the team with the highest score at the end of the two rounds will be going to the Video Zone to battle today's game wizard.

The Rules of Pyramid Game Show($25,000 & $100,000) from the 1980s...

For the Secret Square game: “The stars are briefed before the show to help them with their bluffs, but they are hearing the actual questions for the first time.”
