I'd buy this disc if it had the episode my grandma was on... unless her boob popped out.

I guess somebody had to like him, but I really found him quite irritating, and I rarely watched the new Family Feud until he was gone.

This is the most pointless DVD release I have ever heard of in my entire life.

Definitely seconded.

This is one of the most pointless posts I have ever read in my entire life.

This is the most pointless post I have ever read in my entire life.

Obviously the two of you care nothing about The Price Is Right and Bob Barker, but both of you felt oh so compelled to post your feelings of negativity in this thread. I guess both of you feel really proud, putting down a bunch of game show fans and all.

Post a link to your collection and I am sure I will find more.

It's in my sig. Don't worry, you'll find plenty of lousy movies there. I guess I just don't see the point of (re)watching a game show when you know the outcome. It's not like you can focus on the cinematography or the editing or the script or any single solitary other aspect of the program. I realize that this a threadcrap, but I simply cannot fathom the appeal of a game show on DVD.

As much as I liked game shows in the '70s, I wouldn't buy them because I don't like "The Best Of" episoded. I would rather see them in order. And besides, there's way too many.

Thanks for giving me my, laugh of the day.

I'll wait for the complete series set

Who would ever have thought that a "Price is Right" thread would have brought forth so much animosity?

darmok

i can't imagine watching this show on home video. i mean, it was kinda fun watching it when i was a kid stuck at home, but to want to put an episode on now as an adult is a little strange. but it'll be funny watching older eps with yesterday's prices and hairdos.

I'll risk giving my thoughts here.

I've always enjoyed an occasional game show, have gone thru phases in my life where I'll watch one of them daily for a month or two. I have some fond memories of watching the old Match Game and Password with my mom. I still watch Jeopardy, Wheel of Fortune, or a classic show once a month or so.

That said, I can't imagine buying complete season or series sets. Most of the episodes are just average, not worth re-watching, especially when you consider that there are hours of repeats and new game programming on free TV every day.

However, I would be very interested in best of, or great moments, or celebrity highlight DVDs of many different game shows from the past and present.

It's called entertainment. Why waste money on any movie DVD that you watch once and every time you watch it again you know the outcome? You watch it again because it's entertaining. Some people find game shows entertaining. Some don't.

Feathers McGraw

Some folks clearly don't know about game show fanatics. They have *hundreds* of episodes of the same show on videotape. They will trade an episode of Password for an episode of Match Game through the mail.

These guys will collect anything. I'm sure they bought a ton of the Match Game set, and that's why this TPIR set is being released. And they'll buy a ton of it, too.

Fair enough! Just as I can't fathom the appeal of many reality shows on DVD but yet those seem to sell very well.

I think the appeal on DVD is just the same as on GSN...even when you've already seen them and know the outcome (and you can say that about many, many TV shows in every genre) I still find them enjoyable. I probably don't watch my Match Game DVDs often, but a few years later after I watched them I will watch them again and I am sure there are aspects that will be enjoyable to me.

Good game shows just aren't on the contestants and how they do. It's about the chemistry of the host with the contestants/celeb guests (when applicable) and with the audience. A good host makes or breaks the game show, and it's the host that really is the determining factor if a game show is worth watching again or not. To me, anyway.

calhoun07

I don't think we will ever see the day of complete seasons of game shows (though I guess they have some good sets out in the UK, such as the game show Q1). First would be the huge number of episodes, and second is that most of the shows are average. But these best of sets are ideal for game shows, because many of the episodes are not worth re-watching and this collects the best episodes in one collection.

This is a rare case of DVD on TV where I gladly will support best of sets on DVD. Any other show and I'd be screaming foul, but it's perfect for game shows.

calhoun07

But that's exactly why we will never see complete seasons sets of these. Yeah, there are avid collectors out there who have every episode on tape, but it's not enough people to justify the cost in remastering every episode for DVD.

My only complaint with the best of game show sets is sometimes you want to see how the contestant does tomorrow and you often don't get the opportunity.

nateman

I could be wrong & I don’t know if you can still do this today but, couldn’t you used to (or still can) phone the studio for a copy of the program & they’ll send it too you if you pay the S&H?

Kind of like how they have those ‘Send $5.00 & get a copy of NOVA’ on PBS. I could be wrong, but I thought that they used to have a program like that for game shows as well.

Coming March 25th, 2008 - With 26 episodes instead of 20 and it has Bill Cullen on the set.
