Screen Test?

[almostgolden]

Does anyone remember a show where people had to act out certain scenes from movies? I loved that show.... I wonder why that isn't shown again now that all the old nostalgic game shows are being shown again........

The show was titled Don Adams Screen Test and it aired in the mid 70s. Adams was the host/director of the show where celebrities and contestants recreated famous movie scenes with the winner receiving a bit part in a movie.

Several years later, bloopers from the show turned up on the ABC series Foul Ups, Bleeps and Blunders.

If Game Show Network had any programming sense, they would make time for some of these shows. You can look on their website and theres a link that tells you the game shows they have in the vault. I don't recall if this show was among them but theres a bunch of classic game shows that aren't being aired but they can shove Cram, Lingo, Russian Roulette Whammy etc.. down my throat. I also don't consider Love Connection or GSN Video Games to be true game shows & wish they would get rid of them. I predict that within one year, all of the classic games being aired will be phased out & the entire lineup will consist of nothing but new game shows. It'll be just like Cartoon Network, once worth watching & now a piece of crap. One show I would really like to see is the original Liar's Club hosted by Rod Serling. It's not on their list so maybe theres a rights issue or something.
