Worst Game Show? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

dawsongirl · 06-28-2001, 04:00 PM

Okay, so we have a thread going for best game show, so what do you think is the worst?

Personally, I hate the following:
-Family Feud (Louie Anderson's Version)
-Survivor or any other reality "Game Opera" that has the nerve to call itself a game show
-To Tell The Truth (new version)
-Joker's Wild
-Three's a Crowd and All New Three's a Crowd
and most of GSN's originals, with the exception of Hollywood Showdown and Mall Masters, which aren't "completely" GSN originals.

Add All Stone Stanley GAme SHows and remove the 70's version of TJW and you're in agreement with just about the enitre ATGS (alt.tv.game-shows) newsgroup.

Trashy GSN originals like DJ Games and the All New 3s a Crowd!

I know that it's very popular, but Jeopardy gets my vote. I think the prizes for 2nd and 3rd runner up are crummy. I also get annoyed when they adjust scores because an unexceptional answer was wrongly accepted.

Have a nice day

Hot Potato-with host Bill Cullen (around 1984) Now, dont get me wrong, Bill Cullen was a great host, and he has a record for hosting most game shows (44 i think) but this show was BORING!! there was no challenge! the questions were too easy, the bonus round was too easy...everything was too easy! it was like they were GIVING money away!

wheel of fortune and survivor are my least favourite game shows.

07-23-2001, 03:30 PM

Well, I'm gonna agree with ya 3/4 of the way.

I hate survivor, and I DO hate wheel of fortune from 1989]present, but I like the run up til then (til the reformat before the start of the '89 season)
