It was pretty funny IMO. They had compiled a list of classic game show clips! Highlights included; stupid families on Family Fued who gave dumb answers even after Richard Dawson had read the question 3 times, lots of match game bloopers, "A question to fill in the blank was "Cuckoo________" and the celebrity called answered, "Cukoo, Fran, and Ollie!" There was another show clip with a contestent who was asked something like, "Name a foriegn country know for producing foriegn cars?" The lady answered, "United States!"...no no I mean Texas!" I didn't care for some of the sexual innuendo stuff presented. (They showed the Newleywed Game infamous clip with the bleeped out response to "Where is the strangest place you and your husband have ever made whoopie?") I never liked Newlywed Game at all. (Bleeped out answer, so I didn't see what the big deal was.) Password clips showed teams accidently giving the password aloud instead of giving a clue. Shamefully NO PRICE IS RIGHT CLIPS were shown! not even the classic 1976 clip of the African-American lady who was dressed in that "One piece top" When she was called to "come on down" her top came on off!" And viewers in the studio got a shock that day!" Bob Barker had such a witty ad lib because when he came out the audience was just in stitches and it took them severel minutes to calm down. Bob walked over to her and said, "Now, I know you love me. But you really don't love me THAT much!" That clip will be talked about forever and I can't believe that it was not included!

I enjoyed it "ALOT" LOL..........

I remember that Bob Barker clip. I can't believe they didn't show it. It was such a funny moment! And to think I use to wear those tops...........

Never again.....
I liked the one with Arnold Schwartznegger on the dating game. He was always so funny. I liked seeing Richard Dawson tell that woman to meet him later on...

The clip at the end took me 5 minutes to figure out because it was bleeped but when I finally got it. WOAH...........

Maybe part of the reason why TPIR was not included in the game show special was because it is still on daytime television and recently celebrated it's 30th Anniversary. There were many TPIR clips shown during the CBS 50th Anniversary of Television City in Hollywood, where TPIR is shot. Either two of those reasons could be possible, but I am not totally 100% this is why no TPIR clips were shown.

As for the special in general, it was down-right funny! I was laughing so hard at many of the clips. Unfortunately, I had to work during the evening, so I did not watch it when it regularly aired, but I remembered to set my VCR just so I could watch it later. Thank god I did, because I would have missed out on one hell of a special! The clips that had me in stitches were the British game show Snake Charmer clip, and the Match game clip where the elderly woman accidentally calls herself ******** instead of retired.

Those two were most memorable to me. Overall, it was a great special produced by NBC, and I feel bad for those who missed it.

I was surprised to see a Millionaire clip considering it's an ABC (or was an ABC) show.

I loved the Feud and MG clips. Some I'd seen even in their entirety, but some I hadn't.

There was some clip that they showed that was also on the GS special Fox did in 2000 that was okay here, but was 10x funnier over there because Richard Dawson was narrating it. I think Bob, Wink, Peter, Jim, and Ben needed to narrate more.

I was hysterical when I saw that part. The guy couldn't keep a straight face.

And when they kept exposing the puzzle it got even funnier.
