Which game show, in the entire history of game shows, entertained you the most?

DarleneIllyria · 09-24-2001, 03:02 PM

The Price is Right has entertained me the most.

------------------
Hottest Men alive:
Dale Midkiff
Anthony Starke
Tim McGraw
Jonathan Crombie

Lumpy: Did you go out for anything, Dud?

Dudley: Well, I went out for football, but I got my finger stepped on, so my mother made me quit.

Eddie: Well listen-- I went out for basketball and I got my hair pulled, and my mother made ME quit.

Dudley: It's not that I was afraid of getting hurt or anything; it's just that-- well, it's kind o' hard to play the flute with a busted finger.

Definitely Match Game!

Will · 09-24-2001, 09:49 PM

Match Game always entertained me. Not only did you get Gene Rayburn as host, but also six celebrities as the panel, and you never knew what would happen next with the personalities they put together!

And because there were no "right" or "wrong" answers to the questions, it was fun to play along and watch the answers that were given. Some answere were really hilarious!

Actually "Card Sharks" is pretty amusing, just watch ther contestants on there and how they act, especially the kids.

Price Is Right
Family Feud

I would say:

You Bet Your Life (Groucho Marx)
Hollywood Squares (60s, early 70s version)

I also enjoy watching the old "What's My Line" and "I've Got a Secret" shows from the 50's on Game Show channel.

"Price is Right" was a fun show to watch growing up (Holly was soooo cuuuute!!), as was "Match Game".

My pick for the most entertaining game show of all time...well I have 2, 2 unusual shows.

The Fun Factory ( 1976 ) starring Bobby Van.
Bobby Van sang these cheesy songs and then asked questions about the song to the studio audience. Then some members of the audience would play a variety of games for prizes, like the 2 married couples who rolled and threw the most newspapers in a window. GSN showed it once one late Sunday night, brought back memories for me.

The Cheap Show ( 1979 ) starred Dick Martin ( from Lucy Show & of course Laugh In ). the Contestants were asked questions. If they got it wrong then their partner was punished in a variety of ways ( eggs splattered on them, chocolate fudge poured on them, even spiders- though I always thought they were fake ). Instead of having some sexy girl showing off the prizes ( TPIR, Caroll Merrill ect..) they had wonderful Polly the prize lady- an old woman. The prizes were jokes..like a trip to your backyard.
Of course ot the end the remaining couple had a chance to win a new 1979 car, if they guess what hole Oscar the Mouse would choose to go into. Very offbeat show.

I havent seen it since it aired in Baltimore and that was in 1979.

That show sounds hilarious!

My vote goes to the original version of "Hollywood Squares" hosted by Peter Marshall. This show featured such outstanding talent as Paul Lynde, Charlie Weaver, George Gobel, Rose Marie, and Wally Cox. It is light years ahead of the current version of the show.
