Subject: The Return of Daytime Game Shows ?

Written By: whistledog on 10/15/07 at 9:36 am

Remember the days when you could find all kinds of game shows on during the daytime?

Lately, it's almost starting to feel like those days are back again, what with the new addition of Merv Griffin's Crosswords, and an updated version of the classic $ale of the Century called Temptation.  And with the already existing 'The Price i$ Right', 'Family Feud' and 'Who Wants to Be A Millionaire', it seems like there are more game shows in daytime now then there have been since maybe the early 90s and I love it 8)

I only just found out about Temptation today, so I haven't had much of a chance to see it, but I love Merv Griffin's Crosswords.  Two episodes air back to back at 10am on the CBS affiliate I get, and I watch it every morning.  Sadly, Temptation airs two episodes at the same time over on Peachtree TV (Formerly TBS Superstation), so it's gonna be a tough decision on which one to watch


Will there be more game shows to come for Daytime TV?  Man, I hope so!

I almost forgot ... the new 'Price i$ Right' with Drew Carey starts today.  I am watching now, and he's not doing too bad of a job

Those sure were good days.  I used to look forward to PA days at school, or when I was sick, so I could stay home and watch all kinds of Game Shows.  I used to love on Family Feud when those egg shaped doors would open, and the families would be sitting in a photo like pose.  I was so glad when the new Family Feud brought that back last year 8)

Oh yeah!! When I was a little kid, in the 80's, there were a whole bunch of them in the morning.

I knew I wouldn't be home to watch it today, so I decided to tape it. However, I have less than an hour left on my current videotape, so I only decided to tape the first ten minutes of it. I'm interested to see what the show is like with him as the emcee.

Today's TPIR was great.  The contestant playing Plinko was so excited, she really almost peed her pants ;D

Well in her case, it literally almost was the bomb ;D

She won over $20,000.  Her last chip didn't hit the $10,000 slot, but if it had of, she would have been drowning in a sea of urine ;D

That happens alot with YouTube.  Videosz that I have uploaded in the past, have gone out of sync like that.  One of the many reasons why YouTube is starting to suck :(

On an off-topic note, I have been just listening to songs on there, while browsing the web in a separate window (I don't much care for music vids).

Back on topic, I have only seen one episode of Merv Griffin's Crosswords, namely the pilot on September 10th. Interesting show, but tricky!

I'd like to see a revival of Joker's Wild and also Tic, Tac, Dough.  :)

MG's Crosswords is pretty tricky, kinda merges the intellect of Jeopardy with the word games of Wheel OF Fortune. All the better, I'd say. I love playing along!

Funny, but if it wasn't for the 21st Century clothing, video effects and music, you'd swear this was something out of 1977.
