Including Family Feud, if you ever saw the Anderson years.

I didn't mind Louie Anderson IMO. I thought he was alright.

It's more than Match Game...it's Match Game 2! The host is annoyingly flamboyant, the set is just too cramped, and there are only five celebrities instead of six!

Louie nearly ruined the Feud. He was so bored and depressed it was pathetic. MadTV even made sketches about it.

Tribond is the only one of the three which was watchable, even though Graham Elwood was not good. Charlene Tilton is one of the worst hosts I have ever seen. Dare I say it Patrick Wayne looks like Bob Barker compared to her.

Louie nearly ruined the Feud. He was so bored and depressed it was pathetic. MadTV even made sketches about it.

Hell, even disregarding Louie altogether for a moment, that era still sucked because of the inane "most points after round 4 wins" format. If one team was too far ahead, the game could end immediately following the single strike in round 4 (itself a mistake) if there weren't enough points on the board for the trailing team to win following the steal.

Louie wasn't bad on Feud his very early episodes he was a little awkward. Atleast Louie version had an proper into family intros and good Game Play and a Theme! Today everyone wants to say something sexual or crazy to get an reaction from Steve Harvey and to be on youtube.


MG2 The set looks like its from a public access talk show. I never heard of the panelist no name plates for them? Having the celebrities answer before the contestants took the fun and banter away. The forced fun made the show look extra cheesy.

CS pilot. I watched the first segment i am glad they kept the toss up questions and the format sucked as well. The women announcing the into voice was annoying. Why doesn't the host turn the cards?

Tribond i could really get into its a decent show. Graham is a good host when he tones it down i always pictured him a better Late Night host then Game show host.

And more should be on the way here soon...

I had never seen Whew! before, but I think I've found a new favorite show.

Atlanta's WVEU (now CW's WUPA) was the Channel of Love here as they cleared Pyramid when our CBS affiliate passed on it. It aired on delay at 4 in the afternoon so I saw the return after I got home from work.

I admit, I haven't seen an episode of Scrabble, until now!  Thanks for sharing.

This is a treat.  It's a copy of the studio master for the premiere of the 1989 version of Now You See It.

I thought it was strange that they didn't have the lights dancing around in the rings at the end of the episode. I couldn't tell if there were any changes to the format. I must say that it was neat that they used one of the insides of the rings to show people at home the prizes that some of the departing contestants would receive.

Not only that, but I’ve seen a few episodes of that version in which a family could literally force a win by giving a nonsensical answer because there weren’t enough points on the board for the other team to steal.

A TPIR clip of Charles playing Lucky 7 has been put up. It features something that a few contestants have done at the end.
