What are your favorite game shows?
Just read online that Chuck Barris, the host and producer of The Gong Show passed away.
It got me to thinking, what are your favorite game shows, as I loved watching game shows back in the day.
My favorite were the Pyramid with Dick Clark and loved any game show hosted by Bill Cullen.
What are some of your favorite game shows?

Family Feud, hands down, with Richard Dawson of course!
Jeopardy and Wheel of Fortune, host-neutral!
Jeopardy, The Price is Right with Bob Barker, Match Game with Gene Rayburn... and Press Your Luck (Big money, no whammies, lol).
Jeopardy!!! and don't call me beteeen 7-7:30 because I am not answering the phone.
Lingo was a fun game. with Chuck Woolery of course.
Jeopardy. That's it. I should like Who Wants to be a Millionaire because I've been asked a lot of the million $ questions and known the answers right off even without the choices. But I thought they just kept changing the show and never watched regularly.
The family loves Jeopardy,Wheel of Fortune and Family Feud. Great game shows!
Forgot to mention another great game show I love on Buzzr: Card Sharks with Jim Perry, who also did a great job hosting Sale of the Century as well.

Jeopardy and Wheel of Fortune. Still watch when I can.
Also liked Concentration - where the rebus puzzle was slowly revealed on the board then had to be solved. Remember this one?

I always liked Beat the Clock, although I was a child at the time it was on so I don't know who hosted it. Also, What's my line? Another oldie but goodie.
The Joker's Wild was a favorite when I was a kid; it came on in the afternoon after the Flintstones, lol.
You Bet Your Life ( with Groucho Marx )
If you said the secret Word, the big Duck would drop down; and you would get an extra 25 dollars. Amazing, that show had the first Drop Down, even before the computer.
What's my line? ( John Daley )
I've got a Secret ( Gary Moore )
Here are some other great one's I have seen on the Buzzr Game Show Network:
Body Language with Tom Kennedy as the host is a great show, loved Match Game as well with Gene Rayburn and this one is not on Buzzr but loved watching it back in the day - Tic Tac Dough with Wink Martindale.

I loved Supermarket Sweep too!
Wheel of Fortune has always been my favorite and I still watch. I even had the video game for the Nintendo 64, back in the day. :)
Jeopardy is another one I watch now. Used to really like Who Wants to be a Millionaire? and Family Feud, but they have gotten worse over the past few years. Older ones like Press Your Luck (with WHAMMY) and Card Shark were good too.
Yeah that Pat Woolery is somebody else.
Five final Jeopardy's this week and I only got one right. My answers were (mon-fri)
Pius,capris,Avis,Piccolo and Annapolis.
How do our Jeopardy fans like this weeks Champ?? Austin Rogers is quite a character if you ask me and an excellent Champ!!
Another very strong showing and healthy run away for him tonight. He's very good at it, but don't care for his personality at all.
Growing up in the 70s, sick days from school meant game shows from 9-11:30 in the morning. Jokers Wild, Card Sharks, Match Game, Password, Name that Tune, Let's Make A Deal and of course Price is Right. Those were the days laying on the couch (without remote), and hoping you could stay home the next day to see how people did in the next round....
Hey Jeopardy fans, do you like the new young champion? He kicks it into gear at the right time and keeps winning.
I hope he wins a few more.
