What short-lived game shows did you enjoy? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Some of mine are:

Now You See It (1974-75)
Double Dare (1976-77)
Trivia Trap (1984-85) - I think the format change killed this one for sure.

I kind of liked the TV version of the popular CD-Rom game YOU DON'T KNOW
JACK, hosted by Paul Reubens. It was a campy show, so bad that it was
good, if you know what I mean.
