The Big Board / Re: Go! episode order
« Last post by aaron sica on November 06, 2025, 01:19:24 PM »
If you lived in a market that had tv stations that knew what they were doing with their news product, chances are you never saw the noontime game shows...... Miami/Ft Laud definitely is a solid example of this.

So is WGAL in Lancaster (NBC). Because everyone knows soap operas are more important than game shows (insert eyeroll here), once "The Doctors" moved from the 2:00 slot to 12:30 in August 1980, WGAL moved up their "Noonday on 8" show, as it was known at the time, from 12:30 to noon. From this point on all the way up to and including Super Password, the Harrisburg/Lebanon/Lancaster/York market never saw an NBC noon offering again.

Another possibility. The "tacky buzzer" indicating time's up on Marshall's nighttime HS.

Either format of Trivia Trap.  I was not a fan of "Work as a team, now turn on each other".

I'd like to nominate the "man lost" sounder from Hit Man.

Not necessarily underrated, but speaking of Hit Man, I love the sfx of the advancement of a hit man in round one.  It believe it was the future Super Password clue reveal spliced with the correct answer bell from $ale of the Century.

The Challengers over any "Ultimate Challenge" format that stuck to/fell from the wall that month.

Since it was mentioned in the other thread I'll throw in Card Sharks.  Even when I was a teen watching the show for the first time I found the questions fascinating and the card play was interesting.

Maybe the original Chain Reaction too.  Was never a huge fan of the one-word-at-a-time question format which Stewart really milked to death.

Any Split Second besides the last one.  I know GSN shows are formulaic in certain ways, but the end-game of their Split Second was a great improvement.

Likely unpopular opinion:  The Big ShowDown.  The game is an amazing game of strategy.  The end is dumb luck by rolling dice.

Musical Chairs too, especially that first incarnation of the bonus round.
