What was the first game show you remember watching

<< < (2/10) > >>

Timsterino:
This one is easy. The first game shows I remember watching were \"Treasure Hunt\" with Geoff Edwards (1970's) and \"The New Price is Right\" with Bob Barker.

Tim :-)

bossjock967:
Yeah... this one is easy... TPiR.  My mother tells me that I used to bounce up and down in rhythm to the \"Come on Down\" music while sitting in front of the TV.  That... and I remember being mesmerized by the light wall on MG/HS Hour.

Oh... and Jack Barry used to scare me because I thought he looked like the devil during the bonus round on TJW.  I know I can't be the only one who thought of that.

KrisW73:
Was either the Big Showdown, or DD 1976...

I was sure it was DD- but I seem to have a very hazy recollection of seeing TBS after seeing pictures of it...

No, you're not.  My sister and I thought the same thing.

Winkfan:
The FIRST game show I can recall watching was Concentration; but the first host I seem to recall hosting it was Art James. I had no idea Hugh Downs hosted it until sometime in the mid-70s.

I also remember the ORIGINAL versions of these shows:

What's My Line
To Tell the Truth
I've Got A Secret (Steve Allen run)
Password
Let's Make A Deal
Jeopardy!
The Match Game
You Don't Say
Supermarket Sweep
The Dating Game
The Newlywed Game
The Holywood Squares

I can also recall watching Call My Bluff, Let's Play Post Office, Eye Guess, Everybody's Talking, The Family Game, and  Personality. But that was before I started school.

Cordially,
Tammy Warner--the 'Mary Ann James of the Big Board!'
