What game shows did you watch as a kid? - Page 2 - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

I remember watching Bowling for Dollars on Baltimore's channel 11. Also the Maryland Lottery as I recall had their own tv game show too that was cool.

Wonder if anybody remembers a show from 1980 called Lets go to the Races. It was hosted by Alan Hamel ( Suzanne Sommers' husband).It was strictly a home viewers gameshow.

You had to go to a Grand Union supermarket ( though I think it involved other chains around the country ) pick up game card that featured the numbers.

Tune into the show where they featrue 4 or 5 different horse races and if number thats on the horse crosses the finish line first and the number on your card matches- YOU win cash.

Just like going to the real thing, though Lets go the Races didnt last long. Gone by 1981.

That's a tough one because when I was growing up (which will give you an idea of my age, mid-forties), Andy Griffith, the Honeymooners, Lucille Ball and shows like that were favorites so I honestly don't remember watching any game shows at that age.

There were a couple NBC game shows that I watched in the 60s. One was Snap Judgement hosted by Ed McMahon which aired from 1967-1968. The other was PDQ hosted by Dennis James which aired from 1965-1969.

Didn't watch Sale of the Century but most listed here, I saw either in the original years or in reruns later on. Another show I recall hosted by Nick Clooney, (George's dad) was the Money Maze. in mid 1970's Celebrity Sweepstakes hosted by Jim McKrell. Let's Make a deal with Monte Hall in the mid 1960;s. It is nice to go back and remember.
