Favorite Game show?
 
I love the Price Is Right, classic show

Jeopardy because you can essentially "play along" as they give you the answers.

I say Survivor - since it is essentially a game show.

Street Smarts is my favorite. I get bored with all the others, but Street Smarts has enough comedy to keep me coming back.

It's a toss up for me between Family Feud and the Price is Right. The Price is Right wins by a margin for Bob Barker's consistency of just being a great host. Family Feud has been really good thru the years, but I'd have a hard time picking that one, because not all the hosts have been as good as they could have been, or should have been.

As far as Family Feud, I think Richard Dawson's was and will probably be always the best. Richard Karn fast became my second favorite host of the game, with Ray Combs in third. The thing I didn't like about Ray Comb's Family Feud is that they seemed to coach the competing families to act like total jerks towards the other families while they were playing. In EVERY game the other family is heckling the family that is playing the question, booing when they get right answers and cheering when they get wrong answers, and often they are more annoying than it's worth. Whoever thought that was a good idea for the game should have been fired because it is too annoying. And Louie Anderson was just plain annoying himself, yelling all the time and most of the time he just seemed to be going thru the motions.

If I was to pick another game show based on the strength of the host Match Game would be up there as well, with Gene Rayburn. He was awesome on that show.

Card Sharks was good. My favorite was probably TPIR simply for the amount of different games that they have.

Now, Jeopardy.

Growing up: The Joker's Wild, the $XX,000 Pyramid (when it was hosted by Dick Clark), and Bowling for Dollars (I think local to LA, hosted by Chick Hearn)

I gotta go with JEOPARDY! I love any kind of trivia games, (where you can excercise your brain while you watch).

JEOPARDY! is the daddy of them all, but I also used to love ROCK & ROLL JEOPARDY, and Comedy Central's BEAT THE GEEKS.

It's Jeopardy!

NCMojo 05-12-03 03:02 PM

Right now, it is Jeopardy, but I used to love Match Game as a kid. In fact, one Halloweed I dressed up as Charles Nelson Reilly and walked around all night with a cue card that read "Moist Toilette".

Not that anyone asked.

Darq 05-12-03 03:05 PM

In no specific order, i like $25,000 Pyramid, Jeopardy!, and Wheel of Fortune. Although most of those Wheel players are just plain DUMB.

Burnt Alive 05-12-03 11:02 PM

Classic Concentration!

Giles 05-13-03 09:42 AM

Lingo
Friend or Foe
Russian Roulette

Hmm?

Why?
