-Episode #4, September 26; Ryan/Natalie [OB, Some, VQ=B]
Really bad Hollywood Squares rip-off with some of the worst theme music I've ever heard. Peter Marshall is the only saving grace.
-Isabel Sanford, Gordon Jump, Andrea Evans, ?? [USA, No, VQ=C+]
Excellent Satruday morning offering from ABC in which celebrities can win money for their favorite animal-realated charity.
If you can list Who's Line is it Anyway? as a game show, I can list this as the same.
Novel idea, but it just didn't work. At all. Definitely one of the top 10 stinkers of all time.
-Contestants are twins (info coming soon... or not) [OB, Yes, VQ=A]
I wasn't surprised that it sucked.
Peter Tomarken once called this show "a piece of s%&#." I concur.
-Mark/Debbie, Alan/Yvonne, Lisa/Donna [OB, No, VQ=B]
Hour long special that is pretty self-explanatory.
Decent Hollywood Squares variant. The original version's bonus round is really bad, but is improved upon in the revival.
1982:
-Finale, April 23 [OB, Yes, VQ=B]
-Premiere, April 4 [OB, Yes, VQ=A-]
-May 27; Charles Nelson Reilly/Mary Frann/Andy Gibb/Fred Grandy/James B. Sikking/Emma Samms [OB, Yes, VQ=B-]
-Finale, July 1 [OB, Yes, VQ=A-]
Short lived gem that was killed way too quickly.
-January 6, Third episode; Charile Siebert & Markie Post [OB, Yes, VQ=B]
-January 8, Fifth episode; Charile Siebert & Markie Post [OB, No, VQ=B]

-Harry Anderson & Emma Samms; Contestant is murder on the sound man after winning the bonus round [OB, Yes, VQ=B-]
-April 1, Finale; Pat Harrington & Crystal Bernard [OB, Yes, VQ=B+]
Their version has high school students as contestants and cheap prizes for winning the Gold Run. Other than that, it's pretty much unchanged and Bob is great.
-Matt vs. Susie/Steve [OB, Yes, VQ=A]
It would be really dull if you weren't into sports. Berman's hosting is kind of boring, too, which is surprising to me.
-Notre Dame vs. Rutgers [ENC, No, VQ=A]
-1988 Finals; Temple vs. Washington State (no ending) [ENC, No, VQ=A]
Family Channel daytime interactive drek that is slightly more exciting than making a sandwich.
You can tell that Gene hated this show, and rightfully so.
Good word game. Deserved longer than 13 weeks.
-Finale; Marc Summers announces (no credits) [OB, Yes, VQ=B+]
Has elements of Davidson's version and Barker's version.
-Lucky $even/Race Game/3 Strikes [OB?, No, VQ=B+]
-Most Expensive/Plinko/Danger Price [OB?, No, VQ=B]
Very cool set, but that's about all the show has going for it. The game could drag on forever.
-Final regular episode [USA, Yes, VQ=B]
-First celebrity episode [GSN, No, VQ=A-]
-F. Lee Bailey vs. Patrick Wayne [GSN, No, VQ=A-]
Fun Canadian import with a good host. Why do all these Canadian games have really small payouts?
-Premiere, Scott/Kate vs. Peter/Steve [GSN, No, VQ=A]
-Second episode, Scott/Kate vs. Peter/Steve [GSN, No, VQ=A]

-Eileen/Sheila at Bonus Round, vs. Rosemary/George [USA, No, VQ=A-]
-December, Etta/Elaine vs. Grant/Mark [OB, Yes, VQ=B+]
Good word game filmed in Las Vegas. After he settled in, Ahmad became a good, witty host.

-Robert/Jodi/Frank [USA, No, VQ=A-]
-Jan/Ann/Darrell [USA, No, VQ=B+]
-Tony/Jayn/Juan, Producer Harry Friedman's birthday mentioned [USA, No, VQ=A]
This game could get very exciting!
-Pilot #1 with Jack Campion (suprise, suprise!) as a contestant; 3-17-1978 with slate [SM, No, VQ=B+]
-Pilot #2 without Jack Campion, but a $28,800 Money Cards big win; 3-17-1978 with slate [SM, No, VQ=B+]
-Monday from Game Show Hosts Week; Gene Rayburn/Bill Cullen/Allen Ludden/Wink Martindale [OB, No, VQ=A-]
I prefer this version over the original for some reason.
-Carol (who was later on Small Talk) at Money Cards; Mark Goodson appears [OB, No, VQ=A-]
-Finale [OB, No, VQ=B+]
Despite the ultra tacky think music, this is a good show.
-Charley/Susan [OB?, No, VQ=A-]
-Bri/Chris [OB, No, VQ=C-]
The rules are a carbon copy to the Combs version. Their board is HUGE!
-Pinal/Hernandez [OB, No, VQ=A]
-Jimenez/Casique [OB, No, VQ=A]
Good word game with an original and fun bonus round.
-Finale [OB, Yes, VQ=A-]
Updated version filmed in Montreal without celebrities, two players per team and a really bad host.
-Ken/Beatriz vs. Andre/Nicole [OB, No, VQ=A-]
I like the single player format better than the two-per-team.
-Geoff's first show [OB, Yes, VQ=B-]
-Cindy/Liz vs. Arlen/Karen [OB, No, VQ=B]
-John/Antoinette vs. Fiona/Teresa [OB, No, VQ=B]
-Marie vs. Alexis [OB, No, VQ=B]
-Finale [OB, No, VQ=C-]
Honestly, the only reason I taped this was because a friend of mine was on.
Good quiz show that should have been around for at least a couple more seasons. The best show to come out of 1990 by miles.
-Premiere, September 3, 1990; Doak/Charley/Toni [OB, Yes, VQ=C+]
-September 17, 1990; Tone/Doug/Toni; Doug was previously a four-time Jeopardy! champion. [OB, No, VQ=B]

-Invitational Tournament, Semi-Finals game 3 [OB, No, VQ=B+]
-Invitational Tournament, Finals game 2 [OB, Some, VQ=A]
The music was better in the second season, but the set was better in the first season. Either way, the game is merely a weak Scrabble Sprint/Wheel of Fortune hybrid.
1986:
-George/Kim vs. Vince/Sarah; $1,000,000 win! [OB, No, VQ=C+]
-David/Dena vs. Steve/Connie; $1,000,000 win! [OB, No, VQ=B-]

Somewhat interesting concept, although it gets a little stale to me after a while.
-Jean/Connie [GSN, No, VQ=A-]
-Dawn/Trudi [GSN, Yes, VQ=A]
-Finale; Ends with a promo for the premiere of Press Your Luck, appropriately enough [OB, Yes, VQ=A]
You HAVE to play along with this show. Although I'm so bad at it that I shouldn't.

Ultra-tacky Fun House spin off hosted by a guy who looks like he'd rather be on the golf course.

-Seton Hall Pirates vs. St. Johns Red Men [OB, Yes, VQ=A]
One of the Disney Channel's original shows... And the first to be cancelled.
-Telly/MacKenzie/Aubrey vs. Chuck/Teri/Marc [OB, VQ=A-]
-Steven/Tate/Umoja vs. Colleen/Nicole/Amy [OB, VQ=A-]
The success of MTV's Remote Control lead to this lackluster rip-off.
-Avengers/Three Stooges; Guest is Larry Mazzeo [USA, No, VQ=A]
-Mod Squad/Boosom Buds [OB, No, VQ=B]
-Knott's Landing/Sweat Hogs [OB, No, VQ=B]
-Love Connection/Mannix; Guest is Kathy Garver (missing part of opening) [OB, Yes, VQ=B-]
-All in the Family/Filthy Rich; Guest is Janice Pennington [OB, No, VQ=A-]
Had potential, but it's paced way too slowly. Would have been better without celebrities and with just single players.
Not my cup of tea.
-Harold Jenkins of Little Anthony & the Imperials is a contestant [GSN, No, VQ=A-]
This makes the original versions of these shows actually look good. Avoid at all costs!
This show should be revived for a one-off special and the contestants should be Barack Obama, Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid.
-Sue/Gary/Heather; Gary was later on Rock & Roll Jeopardy! [OB, Yes, VQ=B-]
-Ryan/Lynda/Robert [OB, Yes, VQ=B+]
Ah, memories. This show is too good for words.

-The Kangaroo Cup from 1990; an American team (Stinky Shoes) vs. an Australlian team (Slip & Sliders) [NCK, Yes, VQ=A]
Atrocious and deserves no further comment.
-Rockin' Rush's vs. Wright One's Baby (This version had the stupidest team names, by FAR) [GAS, No, VQ=A]
-Steele Trap vs. Vipers [GAS, No, VQ=A]
-Gak Meisters vs. Slime Dogs [GAS, No, VQ=A]
-Bear Cats vs. Blue Manatees [GAS, No, VQ=A]
Updated version of Shoot for the Stars with a much improved format.
-Finale; Marcia Wallace & Jamie Farr [OB, Yes, VQ=C+]
Another stinker from the J.D. Roth Ghetto Collection.
