Press your luck
Jokers Wild

Scrabble
And the one where the celebrities teamed up with contestents and drew pictures? Vickie Lawrence was always a staple on this one.

I was always partial to that one with the giant devil slot machine thing... not even sure what the name is anymore. Gotta say I like The Price is Right a bit more though, but that's such a boring answer

This has been posted before, but worth repeating;

to read about the guy who rigged Press Your Luck... actually, he memorized the board's patterns and cleaned house
They're making a film, starring Bill Murray, about this guy

My vote's for Match Game as well. It helps that the whole celebrity panel was drunk off their butts most of the time... Long live Gene Rayburn, Brett Somers, Richard Dawson and Charles Nelson Reilley!! (Unless they're dead already...)

I hate all game shows with every fiber of my being but if I was going to choose one I hate the least it would be Remote Control.
The cast was great, Ken Ober, Colin Quinn, Kari Wuhrer and Adam Sandler.

The Man With The Telescopic Microphone died last year, i believe.i can't believe Dawson doesn't host Family Feud. he came back for a season in the early 90s, but it failed. but, come on...can he really get worse ratings than the awful Louie Anderson?
Dickie Dawson is my idol.

Another vote for "Match Game". Gene Rayburn was such a great host. They tried to resurrect it in the early 90's, but it just didn't work. BTW, Charles Nelson Reilly just opened a one-man show Off-Broadway here in NYC.
