What game shows did you enjoy watching as a kid? - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Chocoholic · 02-15-2010, 01:35 PM

I loved watching Wheel of Fortune and The Price is Right with my nana. We used to play along with the contestants.

For kids' game shows, I loved Fun House, Double Dare, and Making the Grade. I think they were all on Nickelodeon. There were lots of great game shows on TV for kids in the 80's and early 90's.

I use to love Mtv's Remote Control

Face the Music I liked as well

Lots of them! Well, the ones from the late 80s-early 90s, at least.

Mr. Television · 02-15-2010, 01:49 PM

Match Game, Joker's Wild, Tic Tac Doe, To Tell the Truth, Hollywood Squares, Card Sharks....there was a lot of great game shows when I was a kid.

Actually, Fun House was a syndicated game show (I remember it aired on the Fox affiliate where I lived at that time). The other two you mentioned were Nickelodeon game shows, though.

During my teenage years in the 70s, I would watch Hollywood Squares, The Price is Right, Match Game, Pyramid, Password, Beat the Clock and Let's Make a Deal. I would regularly go to see Pyramid, What's My Line and To Tell The Truth tape in NYC.

Beat the Clock, Truth or Consequences, The Jokers Wild, To Tell the Truth, Let's Make a Deal, Hollywood Squares, Match Game

As a kid it was pretty much all Nickelodeon for me:

Double Dare, Finders Keepers, Wild and Crazy Kids, What Would You Do?, Nick Arcade, Legends of the Hidden Temple, and GUTS.

I also watched on Saturday mornings Secrets of the Cryptkeeper's Haunted House which didn't last too long.

That was a CBS Saturday morning game show from the 1996-97 season.

There were so many. The Price Is Right (used to watch with my grandma, who's passed on), Wheel Of Fortune, Jeopardy, Family Feud (Ray Combs version), USA's game show block (which introduced me to Dick Clark's Pyramid and Press Your Luck, among many others), and in later years, the recent version of Hollywood Squares and Who Wants To Be A Millionaire.

As for kid's game shows, I loved Double Dare, Get The Picture, Make The Grade, and a whole bunch of other Nickelodeon game shows.

My favorite was Sale of The Century. I also loved Scrabble, Super Password and Password Plus, Body Language, Jokers Wild and Tic Tac Dough. Another favorite was USA's Jackpot. I sure do miss those days.
