Name of game show I saw back in the 80's help - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

I remember coming home from school back in the 80's and watching a game show(seems like it was on USA Network). There would be 3 or 4 celebrity guests who would each give a different description to an obscure item on the table before them. The contestant would then have to guess which one is the right description for the item.

Anyone remember this?

Liar's Club--the syndicated version from the mid '70s.

That's it! Thanks

You're welcome

Always thought that show was primed for a revival!

Actually, there was a new version of 'The Liar's Club' produced in Vancouver in the late 1980's with host Eric Boardman, this is the version that I remember seeing on Global and probably the one that Torgo is referring to.

I'd like to see the version of The Liar's Club with Rod Serling as host.

You might be right.

The only place Rod Serling would host anything these days is from The Twilight Zone.

Allen Ludden hosted a version of The Liars Club in the 70s.

Jude The Obscure · 02-13-2010, 01:07 PM

^And that is the version that aired on USA.

I should've made it more clear than I did, An entire episode would be nice. I've already seen the clip on you tube.
