More game shows on DVD? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

We've got JEOPARDY! and MATCH GAME, where are our other favorite game shows? Come on BCI and Sony, you are probably the only 2 companies who can release these game shows! Any more news on up and coming titles?

I hope other game shows come out on DVD. While the vast number of episodes per season make season by season box sets unlikely, I think several shows definitely have enough for a "best of" collection. I do have four of the six installments of Most Outrageous Game Show Moments on tape (just watched them again over the holiday weekend) and those are a good start as they have snippets of a lot of classic game show moments covering a wide array of game shows.

However, they didn't have any Price is Right clips, I guess they couldn't get the license to them. However, I do recall a primetime special in 1996 or 1997 that was a combination gameshow/clipfest. That would be cool to have on DVD.

Also, there is a TON of classic Press Your Luck. I was lucky enough to tape the legendary Cathy versus Lori spin battle off GSN earlier this year, as well as several other classic episodes, but there's still a bunch more out there. Who could ever forget Michael Larson?

I would simply love it if Wheel of Fortune or Pyramid had a release.

I would buy Family Feud (Dawson era) if it were to come out on DVD.

I'd like to see some episodes of Jim Lange's "The Dating Game" featuring celebrity appearances.

I'm sure the best of Hollywood Squares is somewhere on the horizon.

They showed some snippets of some of those on the most outrageous game show moments I mentioned above. I can recall Robert Wuhl (Arli$$), Steve Martin, and Andy Kauffman. The governor of my state (Jennifer Granholm - Michigan) was on there once as she was once an aspiring film actress, but they didn't show that one. Another governor was on there though, Arnold Schwarzenneger (California - The Governator). Each of them had funny lines.

A funny thing about Arnold. I once had somebody crank call me at work, impersonating Arnold. What I should have done was do my Arnold impression back at them. Now that would have been hilarious.
