Most obscure game shows
PYLdude:
I also look toward "Grandstand", the short lived Curt Chaplin-hosted sports trivia game from '89. Largely because it seemed to be in such a limited run that it almost seemed like filler (at least, that's how the NYC station that carried it aired it).

Well, I can help you here. It's from the version the EOTVGS references, a 1952 summer series. The Encyclopedia just isn't quite as accurate for that listing is all. The episode hosted by Russel (one 'l') Crouse aired live on August 10, 1952.

New Jersey Bowl On NJN but that was more Cable/PBS based. Oh wait!! Disney's College Bowl with Dick Cavvet is one. It aired late at night and I think I saw atleast two episodes. hmm what else... The Dream League and Sports on Tap both on ESPN. ( I guess Chris Berman's Boardwalk basball would fit the list).
TLEberle:
The problem for me is that I missed out on about four-sevenths of game show history on account of not being old enough. The most obscure game show I can think of doesn't even peg on the meter for some of the people who have been around twice as long as I have. Plus now there's the internet and all, so stuff I had only heard of, or never remembered, can be seen by all who want to.
Toheckwiththis:
"Fantasy Park" is another obscure one.
