I'd say Game show network ? Is it true that they pretty much just play recent game shows? Every time when I'm switching around the channels I see only new game shows, which I'm not a fan of. I'd LOVE to see some old retro game shows, than maybe I would like it!

Spanish channels ( for me, but my hubby watches them sometimes because he is Hispanic) ! I do like Sabato' Gigante' Don Francisco's show, it's a Spanish Variety type show that has been on Saturday nights forever! It's going off the air soon! Sad, cause it has been on so long! But other than that, when he is watching Spanish TV it's like please put something in English on!!! LOL!!!

Science channel - not Sci Fi channel, it's different! They ALWAYS seem to be showing a VERY BORING show called "How it's made"!!!

For the game show network, they do show some classics. In my neck of the woods, they show the old Match Game at 8:00 and 8:30A.M. Then, at 9:00A.M., they show the old Card Sharks. And finally, they show the original, Press Your Luck. The catch is it depends where you live. Different areas, may show different programming

I like watching the the old black-and-white episodes of WHAT'S MY LINE , TO TELL THE TRUTH, and I'VE GOT A SECRET on Buzzr, along with TATTLETALES and the old Richard Dawson episodes of FAMILY FEUD . Oh yea, also the old episodes of LET'S MAKE A DEAL with Monty Hall.

ARE YOU SERIOUS??????

I want this channel, but I don't think my cable provider carries it?

I think I would know by now! Those shows are exactly the type of game shows I'd like to see!

Buzzr!! I will look into this, but I don't want to get my hopes up! Like I said before, I think I would know by now if I had this channel!

It's weird , I go from watching totally hokey and wholesome TV like Mr. Ed, Green Acres ,Leave it to Beaver to watching ID TV that features shows such as Wives with knives, These deadly women, Evil Kin!!!

I don't know if this is to any value for you, but I'm pretty sure you can buy these classic game shows on DVD. Like Richard Dawson's family feud, for example. My uncle has the dvds for it. He also has match game. The price is right(black and white).
So I just wanted to say that there are dvds of classic game shows, you just have to look hard enough.

to further wet your appetite with the black-and-white shows sometimes they show some of the original commercials.

Buzzr has a website with a way to see if you have it.
