This is me with MG and to an extent Feud. I think it's because we haven't been able to escape those three shows in the last 50 years; for the most part they've always existed in new episodes or reruns over the past few decades. Outside of maybe a fur coat TPiR you don't have too many rare episodes that pop up in the wild the way you do Wheel or Pyramid.

• The Spay & Neuter sign-off, or
• The Adopt A Dog or Cat From Your Local Shelter segment that was occasionally featured during an IUFB?

I haven't seen any episodes on the Barker Era channel that feature a doggie during an IUFB.

I have. Per G-R, the pet adoption segments started 1/18/84.
As for the OP:
I find 3's a Crowd entertaining and am disappointed no episodes appear to be on YouTube.
I would rather have a cavity filled than watch the original version of Password.
Other than nostalgia, I don't get the inordinate love for the B&W shows, save for TTTT.

I'll turn this into an even hotter take- in 2025, this is the gem of the Barris catalog and would do numbers on Bravo.

I don’t know if this is a hot take at all but I have no idea why GSN revived the show—steadies vs. exes was just not interesting, thought mom vs. girlfriend was sometimes ok. The best thing about the newer version was the theme and incidental music.
As much as I would love to see a triumphant return of Treasure Hunt, I fear it has been subsumed by Deal or No Deal. Harrumph.
I have no problem with the Jeopardy tournament ladder but feel like Second Chance is too far. Win two or three games and you can fight your way to the tournament. Two out of three people lose day in and day out, it isn’t the end of the world.

I was never a fan of Bullseye (US). Whoever decided that a "contract" can be 5 questions in a row should been fired. I didn't have the patience for it when I watched it as a child, and I have the same impatience as an adult.
