What was the first game show you remember watching
joelvanderveen:
Being born in '88, as a child I was hooked on the few popular game shows of the late 80s and early 90s. It was mostly the same stuff Gus mentioned above: \"TPiR\", \"Wheel\", \"Jeopardy\", \"Classic Concentration\", plus \"Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego?\" and a few Canuck games like \"Wild Guess\" and \"Food for Thought\" that I only vaguely remember. I can't believe I missed out on \"Definition\", though.

Well, I can't remember specifically... but I DO know that my earliest memories of watching TV predate our having cable, so it was likely a Canadian show like \"Definition\", and I also have just the haziest memory of \"The Mad Dash!\" I believe \"Family Feud\" was seen on a local station way back then as well, but no TPIR until we had cable, which was by about the time I was 4. (I also remember watching \"Just Like Mom\" religiously... but that was a bit later.)

My first memory of a game show is Child's Play. I too was a religious Just Like Mom watcher, but that was later.
--- Quote ---Speaking of CC, I seem to recall that once during Halloween week, the contestants and Alex dressed in halloween-type costumes, they used the Ghostbusters theme, and the win markers were pumpkins instead of what they usually were, and I remember being scared out of my wits about it, because anything that wan't \"normal\" freaked me out.

I remember that Davidson HS had a special theme game when Vincent Price was on and that freaked me right out. I was just happy that it ended quickly (up and down on the right column - dear me, why can't I retain exam information like that when I need to?)
Cheers,
Ryan :)

What do you suppose the \"phobic\" name is for the fear of Vincent Price? :)

I distintly remember watching The Price is Right....
...with Tom Kennedy.
It's kinda strange, because I was born in 1982, so I'm a bit surprised that I remembered that early of a memory.
I also remember Card Sharks (Eubanks) and Super Password (for a long time that was my favorite).
