The title says it all, but I just got a couple quiz show-type things on video like "Take a GOOD look" hosted by Ernie Kovacs and "The Pantomime Quiz" which are great b/w shows.

What's the oldest you know/remember?

The oldest game show I remember watching from premiere to finale is Scrabble but the oldest show I know all the rules to is Match Game '7x

I was born in '86, so, the oldest game show i remember is Family Feud with host Ray Combs. He's a great host, but i was never a huge fan of that show.

I was born in '90 and remember me and mom Supermarket Sweep and Debt on Lifetime.
But when Shopping Spree premeired we watched that alot too.

I was born in 1984. I remember mom telling me when I was a baby and couldn't sleep, I would get up and watch Press Your Luck. I wished I could see that show now. I loved those cute little whammies.

This dates me, but I still can remember--unfortunately--Jack Bailey shouting: "Would you like to be Queen for a Day?" "Queen for a Day."

I remember Davidson HS and TPiR from VERY early on...

FaithForever5981 · 12-27-2001, 04:22 AM

TRUTH OR CONSEQUENCES,TO TELL THE TRUTH,PASSWORD,
JEOPARDY!(original '60s version with Art Fleming)
WHAT'S MY LINE,NAME THAT TUNE

DEBT really was a good gameshow. It was good becuase the idea was unique. It really really was a good idea, not motivated by greed or a simple desire to get rich, just to get back on your feet.

Okay this game is old....... I remember Let's make a deal!

greenivy4ever · 01-25-2002, 02:40 PM

I'm 47 years old....the furthest back I can remember seeing any "current" game shows, is 1) "Who Do You Trust", hosted by Johnny Carson....& 2), "Beat The Clock", hosted by Bud Collyer.

Does anyone remember the kids' version of Hollywood Squares
they used to have,also hosted by Peter Marshall of the old
Hollywood Squares,that aired on Saturday afternoons and the
celebrities would dress up as story book or Bible characters?

LucyFan · 02-20-2002, 01:13 AM

The oldest game show that I remember watching on television was "What's My Line?".

dawsongirl · 02-20-2002, 05:11 PM

Gee, I'm not sure. Either Davidson's HS or Combs FF. I used to watch alot of reruns in syndication (Name that Tune and Let's Make a Deal on The Family Channel and PYL on USA) but those two were first I think.
