Honestly, that would be less convoluted than the show's actual rules were.

I was trying to come up with one for "Three on a Match," but I think it already has all the rules there are.

If you limited the contestant pool to politicians, lawyers, and people who create pharmaceutical ads... I'd totally watch.

To Tell The Truth going to returning champions.

-
3 on a Match, balance a plastic number 3 on the end of a match stick.
How about specializing this for pricing games?

Spelling Bee - Players must wear beekeeping garb while playing the game.
No matter what the prize is you try to price in RANGE Game, if you do so, you only win a range.
Secret "X", the position of the hidden "X" is never revealed since it's SECRET X!
Jeopardy! Finish with a negative score and you must repay the show on the spot or risk being placed in the Jeopardy jail cell in the basement of the Alex Trebek stage.
From Bob Stewart: Shoot For The Stars, contestants take water pistols outdoors at night and take aim at various constellations in the sky.
From reality TV Dog Eat Dog, players have their pets in a race to see who can finish eating a hot dog in the shortest amount of time.

Okay...I'm already a fan of the show but I'd watch this.

Pass the Buck: Instead of playing for a jackpot that grows $25 with each correct answer, the contestants pass around a $1 bill which the winning player will get to keep.
Shop 'Til You Drop: The winning couple must go from store to store picking up as many prizes as they can carry in their hands. The game ends when any or all of their prizes fall on the floor, but they do get to keep anything still in their hands at that point.

While I never directly confirmed it with Bob, I've been told the show had several different names during development and that after the Oscars incident and the release of the Stevens hit (I still get nightmares remembering the ubiquitous direct response spots for his "best of " tapes that would turn up overnights on cable networks in the 80s) someone at NBC suggested they needed to have something with the world streak in it.
If only they focused on the content as much as the brand...

You were not a house in a rural area unless you had either the Ray Stevens "best of" or his full length movie Ray Stevens Get Serious!.
/Funny when I was 11.
//Now, not so much.

I remember begging my mom to buy me the VHS after seeing the commercial so much. She (wisely) declined because the only reason I wanted it was for the "Are you nekkiiiiiid?!" song.

Supermarket Sweep: No more carts -- all grocery items must be brought to the checkout via the use of a broom.
Good luck with the turkeys...
-
Tic Tac Dough - all answers must be given to the beat of the theme song, while clapping
-
Dream House - You cannot be on the show unless you are in a deep REM cycle of sleep. That would be one way to save a lot on the prize budget!
The Supermarket Sweep idea with the broom!!! CLASSIC!
Headline Chasers - Members of the staff dress up as giant newspapers and the contestants must chase them around the set throughout the entire episode.
Blank Check - Nobody will ever know what the check writer's numbers are as the pen used has invisible ink, hence BLANK Check.
Catch Phrase - Phrases are written down on cue cards and tossed at the contestants who must catch them wearing oven mitts.
All Pyramid iterations...if you conquer the Winner's Circle, instead of winning cash, you win an all expense paid trip to Egypt to visit the real Great Pyramid.
Pass the Buck - Contestants keep passing a sedated male deer (a buck) until each contestant becomes too exhausted to do so, the last player standing gets to take home the buck as a pet.

Since The Streak was brought up, I saw the video on Ray Stevens' YouTube channel. It did provide a chuckle; however, I notice one of the words has been censored. The word that got censored was........
mooned
Yes, you read that right. The word that got censored was
mooned
I tried to find why it was so offensive now, but I couldn't find a thing. So you're telling me that Ray Stevens' audience is so sensitive that the particular word would send them into conniptions........actually seeing his other videos would make you think that.
/HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA they had to censor mooned!

I hope you told Ethel not to look.

Youtube is weird about censorship. I watched Cheech and Chong’s Up in Smoke (don’t judge me) and they censored nudity…of a Playboy centerfold that was plastered on the bathroom stall. IIRC they also censored the language so I immediately turned it off and went to Prime.

They really did that in Italy ::) (albeit for one round only)
-
For any game show that asks the contestant, "Can you name this_______?" or any question similarly written, a simple "Yes" or "No" answer counts as much as a correct answer in addition to the actual answer.
