What was the first ever game show to be produced for first-run syndication?

There may have been others earler but I think one of the first might have been the Dennis James' Hosted PDQ in 1965-69

A quick glance at the GSE...it appears to be "Everything's Relative" from February 1965.

I was probably close.PDQ started in August 1965.

We can go at least a decade earlier for "Professor Yes 'n No":

Matt O's Professor Yes 'n No page

If you want to call that a game show in the sense that we know a game show, and I'd do that only tenuously, if at all.

The early 60s syndicated run of Stump the Stars(c. 1962-63)?

What's My Line (1968) was the first daily syndicated game show (which set the precedent for our present 5-day-a-week syndicated game show scheduling. Ah, for the good old days of weekly/bi-weekly syndication of the 70s!)

P.S. What do you know? This is my 100th post!

EDIT: You happy now, Zach?

Syndicated WML predated Syndie TTTT by a year.

The EOTVGS lists "Home Run Derby" in 1960 as a syndicated game show. Syndicated? Yes. Game show? YOU MAKE THE CALL!!!

Truth or Consequences in 1966.

"Good old days"?

Aren't there still a fair number of hour-long shows once a week that are syndicated (and usually seen on weekends as far as I can tell)?

adamjk · « **Reply #12 on:** March 09, 2004, 11:08:00 PM »

Yeah, but those are not first run shows. Those shows are reruns.

Which of the shows mentioned above weren't first run? I didn't find any.
