If you could have one game show set piece...
« on: April 16, 2008, 02:23:18 PM »
In the A/V Clips board, we were having a discussion about computer graphics vs. tangible moving pieces on a set; hence, this hypothetical question:

If you could own one set piece from any game show, past or present, what would it be?

Hmm...I'll take the giant gameboard from Cross-Wits ('70s).
When you're at the grocery game and you hear the beep, think of all the fun you could have at "Crazy Rachel's Checkout Counter!"

If it had to fit in my house, either the original question displayer on Match Game '73 or the original Any Number board from TPIR.

And if I had a bigger house, the panel desks from Match Game '73. With steps.

  • Just leave the set; that’d be terrific.

In a related note, several of us shared our wishes in this thread from 2004...some good stuff in that one too.

One of the Deal or No Deal models?
How about the gold "money ball" from the Magnificent Marble Machine?  If I had room, the huge machine itself, which probably hit the scrap heap sometime in 1976.

A set of the numbered "word wallets" from the CBS 'Password".  Or a word card from the Lightning Round toaster.

I'm surprised nobody's said this:

I'd take Trebek's Jeopardy! lectern from the 1980s.

BTW, can one of the mods change the "on" in the thread title to "one"? Sorry for my typo.

If I had the space, without question: Give me the original or the G-T Concentration board.

If not, I'll take the original Jeopardy! board from the Fleming era.

Interesting to compare this to the four-years-ago thread.  The funny 'hot model' answer in that thread?  Icey.

Poor Icey's career appears to have...melted.  Her website hasn't been updated since 2004.

If it fit anywhere, I'd love to have the crystal dome...

I'd like to have one of the podiums from Face the Music.

If Boden's not doing anything with Super Ball!, I'll gladly take it off his hands.

Short of that, I'll take two decks from Card Sharks, complete with Jokers and syndie prize cards.  And maybe the Money Cards setup.
