View Full Version : Game Shows that should be revived...
MrCleveland 05-08-2014, 01:43 AM I feel that there should be some game shows that were on in our yesteryears...I feel that "What's my Line", "Scrabble", "Concentration", and "Name that Tune" to name a few could be a few game shows that could be revived.
Chuck Woolery could be the host again for "Scrabble", Guy Fieri could be the host for "Concentration", Brad Sheerwood for "What's My Line" (I dunno who'd be the recurring celebrities), and David Lee Roth as the host of "Name That Tune".
What Game shows would you wish they'd resurrect?

I also agree with the person who said "Supermarket Sweep."
mets82 05-16-2014, 04:50 PM I'll go with Password, Supermarket Sweep and Classic Concentration.

Bertie Bott 05-21-2014, 08:00 AM Hands down, Supermarket Sweep
McGillicuddy 05-22-2014, 03:13 PM I say, The Match Game
Fontaine 05-22-2014, 09:58 PM Anyone remember Eye Guess? Wasn't that one of the five thousand shows Bill Cullen hosted?

The last few attempts at a reboot proved that Match Game just isn't the same without Gene Rayburn.
KurtfromPitts 05-28-2014, 10:50 AM I remember Eye Guess. Great game show.
Bonniegirl 07-15-2014, 08:57 PM To tell the truth and Supermarket Sweep

....not to mention Brett, Richard, Charles, and some of the other semi-regulars. But Betty is still around!!!!!!:)
LeeBlue 07-17-2014, 10:10 AM I'd like to see Cash Cab and Deal or Not Deal again.
Ben Bailey could do either show. He was a funny host on Cash Cab.
let'swatchtv 07-19-2014, 08:14 AM listen I know Match Game would never work in this day and age since it's life support was cut off since 1999, but if an MG revival it was still the 90s I would've like to see either Jim Carrey or David Alan Grier from In Living Color as host for the show.
just saying.
tvfreak1987 07-20-2014, 07:55 PM A better revival of Press Your Luck.

I assume that you hated Whammy! thanks to the crash test dummies at Lazymedia for "F"-ing up the show.
mets82 07-25-2014, 03:03 PM I wouldnt mind seeing a revival of Match Game. How bad could a revival be? I mean if you keep with the intitial premise of the show, it would be fine.

I liked it at first, but over time I started hating it.

was it the gameplay, 3d whammies or Todd Newton's Yelling that made you stop liking it?

you know in Australia, they have a similar problem like us here in the states with Blankety Blanks starring Graham Kennedy running from 1977-1978 despite having two seasons, it became popular nonetheless while the other two revivals were abysmal to overcome the popularity from Kennedy's reign with Daryl Somers from 1985-1986 and Shane Bourne from 1996-1997
so in other words I think that both our franchise and their's in the land down under are kind of oppositely equal to each other since Graham Kennedy is engrained in their minds like Gene Rayburn has engrained in ours.
GameShowFan66 08-08-2014, 09:24 AM Gambit, Three on a Match, Wheel of Fortune & Jeopardy (Daytime), Password Plus, Concentration, $ale of the Century, Scrabble, The Joker's Wild, Tic Tac Dough, Card Sharks (Perry or Eubanks daytime editions), Now You See It,
howilu 08-08-2014, 10:22 AM One game show that I felt that should be revived for years is College Bowl. The popularity of Jeopardy shows that viewers would appreciate another "hard quiz" show.
Edward216 08-18-2014, 01:42 AM I think Name That Tune is a good choice for a game show revival. I'd also like to see Match Game, Rock And Roll Jeopardy, (I know it's probably just me!), :D and Hollywood Squares brought back.

let'swatchtv 08-20-2014, 02:19 PM To me any classic game show revival that Fremantle owns will be butchered to the high heaven if not done the right way of course.
