Best Game Show Finales – Your Picks?
steveleb:
I would also nominate the finales for Perry sale and $20k pyramid which both allowed full staffs to take an on-camera bow. Pyramid gets extra kudos for the heartfelt tribute to Dick from Bill, which clearly meant a lot to him. Plus the “leftover pyramid” topped by Fanous Italian Directors was inspired
BrandonFG:
Split Second for the car giveaway and crew appearing on screen.
20K Pyramid for the reason Steve mentioned.
Dawson Feud for his heartfelt message...despite him wanting it removed after the fact.
Eric Paddon:
Split Second
-Goes out on a classy up tempo note and there is also the fascinating element of seeing Markie Post among the production people at the end, plus the fact that two of the three contestants had famous stories of their own with future ABC reporter Judd Rose and last champ and station wagon winner Steve Robinson being none other than Henry Morgan's son.
What's My Line?
-An excellent finish to the series that in many respects was the show that put Goodson-Todman on the map and was the flagship of their entire output.
$20,000 Pyramid
Password (ABC)
-A chance to hear Allen speak from the heart about how much Password meant to him (and a reminder that the show is how he met Betty).

Honorable mentions:
Cullen Chain Reaction -- The crazy final end game was a keeper, despite that it wasn't supposed to finish that way.
Eubanks ABC Newlywed Game -- Bob's first game show, and how he chokes up at the end of the Christmas show. It looked like his last day on TV really meant a lot to him, probably more than his last day on radio. But it didn't take long for him to get back on TV doing game shows.
