The thread about the 1975 TVGuide got me thinking: if you could go back in time, and record a complete library of just one game show, which would it be?
For me, I'd have to say "Celebrity Sweepstakes". It was one of my favorites and a must-see when I was home from school. Most of my other favorites I've got several episodes of via either trading or GSN, but "Celebrity Sweepstakes" is one treasure that appears forever lost.
-
Well, I think each one of us should adopt a show. I will take "The Big Showdown," cause it would take up less space in the spare room. BTW, the tapes still exist. They're at the bottom of the Hudson River in those airtight blue plastic tape boxes.
-
For me, it would be the entire run of Concentration from old days. Another big one, would be the original Hollywood Squares.
-
I'd like to have all of the PYL episodes (Yes, that includes un-aired ones like the lost BtS episode)
-
I'd have to go with Price is Right. Then, I'd finally get to see the 3 "lost" pricing games as well as all the episodes Bob banned from rerunning due to furs.
-
If we go by the "each of us adopts a show" idea, I've got first dibs on GONG.
Doug
-
Either daytime $otC (Perry). And maybe partial runs of MG7x and TPiR.
-
For me It would be the Davidson Squares Library. Such a Great Show!
-
For me it would be a short-lived show. Something like "Chain Reaction" (NBC 1980 only) or "Face the Music" would do just fine......
-
You're in the Picture. Yes, I'm short on storage space. :-)
-
The original "Twenty One," if only to spend time looking for tips that the show wasn't on the up-and-up.
Or the ABC run of Password, even if I had to take "Password All-Stars" as part of the deal.
-
I'd love to have the entire run of Whew!
Eric
-
From someone who was thinking of posting this very question, I was going to say the original run of Card Sharks, since GSN just skipped a few early episodes. However, I'm going to call dibs on Whew!. I remember seeing this during its original run, but nowadays, the only memories of it are what I've seen and read online.
-
I'll take the entire Scrabble collection (the 84 and 93 editions)...
and I'll take specific Daytime Wheel Episodes (dunno which ones)
-
I'm dibbin' Pyramid. Each run, including Davidson's since I'm a completist. Plus I have a little masochist in me...along with some Hungarian and Irish.
-
Nobody's claimed LMAD yet, so it's mine. I'd like all versions except for the Billy Bush one, which I'd consider a zonk.
-
Garry Moore's TTTT episodes, please.
And I don't care what anyone says, I'll take Robin Ward's, too.
-
Since $OTC is spoken for, I'll take another personal fave: Break The Bank. All the shows from all the runs. Well, maybe you can talk me out of the mid-1980s run.
-
I would like the entire run of Kennedy and Davidson TPIR, and the entire syndie run of Wheel of Fortune. Even the last few years.
-
I'll take Split Second. Only because 'SplitSecond' hasn't gotten to this thread yet. ;-)
Actually, I'll just hang around you guys and bum some tapes from the wealth of libraries going around here!
-
You're gonna be sorry you asked me, but.....
The ORIGINAL versions of these shows:
Name That Tune (all DeWitt-hosted ones)
The Price is Right
The Match Game
Treasure Hunt (Jan Murray run)
Camoflauge
You Don't Say
The Hollywood Squares (some more of the first six or seven years)
Dream House
Split Second
Gambit
Jackpot (1974-75 run)
Now You See It
High Rollers (1974-75 episodes with the first 'bonus round')
Then there are these 'gems:'
Dough Re Mi
Music Bingo
Video Village
Charge Account
Say When!!
Double Exposure
Seven Keys
Window Shopping
Get the Message
What's This Song
Call My Bluff
Dream Girl of '67
Wedding Party (yeah, I recall watching this as a small kid!)
Funny You Should Ask
The Money Maze
The Big Showdown
Musical Chairs
Second Honeymoon
I know some of us have at least one episode of many of the shows I listed.....
Cordially,
Tammy Warner--the 'Ruta Lee of the Big Board!'
-
Without a doubt, The Price is Right. One of my dreams in life is to catalog the entire history of the show. (Yes, I know -- that's sad. I don't care. :-)
-
I'll take both versions of "Fun House."
As a side note, I already have the entire run of "I'm Telling!" It's only 26 shows, though, not too impressive.
-
Tough choice. One show? Hard to choose between the Barry Joker's Wild run or Cullen's Blockbusters.
-
I'll take the "Eye Guess" tapes, unless Matt really wants them, in which case I'll go with my other favorite emcee and take the original run of "You Don't Say!"
-

No problem, you're welcome to Eye Guess as long as you'll let me borrow a few every now and then. Among Cullen shows, I'd probably take the entire run of Three on a Match.
Still, for their significance, their star power and the amazing amount of television history they span, if I get one series I'll take What's My Line?.
-
I would have to choose the entire Pyramid series including Clark, Cullen and Davidson.
-
Obviously I would LOVE to have the PYL collection, especially since there are eps. that I haven't seen yet (unless GSN changes that- please?!), but since that has been taken, I'd have to go with Family Feud w/ Dawson. The original and the best.
Tyshaun
-
Eye Guess was taken, so I'll go with Spin-Off, It Takes Two with Vin Scully and The 1960s Match Game.
-
Since the Cullen Blockbusters is already taken, I'll have to settle for its German version, Super Grips -- das schnelle Spiel für helle Köpfer!

It's amazing how many people that posted in this thread don't understand the concept of "One".
If I could have any show, I think I'd select Cross-Wits.
-
I'll claim dibs on Hit Man since Whew! has already been claimed.
-
I'll go with Alex Trebek's "Pitfall". I just couldn't get enough of those kights that flashed on the bridge hoping I could spot the 3 pirfalls before the contestant hits them.
-
All those wacky Narz 'Concentration' episodes. Mine.
Wonder if I can get the radio rights? ;-)
Josh
-
Since Concentration and Jeopardy have been taken, drat, I'll settle for GE College Bowl, both the Allen Ludden and Robert Earle versions, which are essentially, the same run.
-
Odd choice, I know, but I'd have to go w/Pitfall.

Again, as I told Adam, only if you let me borrow some episodes now and then.
The Pass The Buck episodes, on the other hand, you can keep.

I might consider a trade of Cullen's Pyramid for Pass The Buck...and a couple of other Bob Stewart shows (Chain, Eye Guess, Go) to make up the difference in number of episodes produced. Hey, fair's fair - I only make even trades.
Play The Percentages is all yours.

Giving you some idea of how seriously I'm taking this question...
I thought about the original Jeopardy, but ultimately decided that the current game fills my need for that kind of material, and the older shows would at some point grow redundant. Not to say that I wouldn't mind seeing a few dozen or even a few hundred turn up again! But if I get an entire run of shows, it either has to be a Cullen show for which I have particular fondness (my reason for choosing Three on a Match) or something with a lot more humor and star power than Mr. Fleming's quizzer ever gave us.
But seriously, enjoy Jeopardy!. I'll be up to catch a few episodes with you now and then.
-
Jumping into this fantasy conversation...
I'll take High Rollers 74-76, or 78-80...whichever.....but not Wink's.
-
I want all the Alex Trebek's unsold pilots...Malcolm...Mama e No Mama...Who Wants to Be Sloppy Drunk?
Charles Atkins

For me, Scrabble would be good enough for me (just the 84-90 run). 1993 run was meh.

The Challengers
Singled Out
Bzzz!
Jackpot! (all 3 versions)
Tic Tac Dough (excluding Patrick Wayne version)
Trump Card
Remote Control
Trashed
The Magnificent Marble Machine
Blockbusters (UK - Bob Holness era)

All 686 telecasts of the original Joker's Wild during its 3-season tenure on CBS Daytime (1972-75).
Nah...on second thought, I'd prefer the eps from Season 3 (1974-75). I've decided I'm not too keen on the Joker's Jackpot format. :P
I heard GSN has the 1974-75 CBS episodes of TJW (before they got the first 2 seasons from WCBS-TV in NYC) but I don't think they ever got around to airing them. And only one TJW Season 3 episode - the June 13, 1975 series finale - is circulating among collectors.
-
Even though this show really isn't a fan favorite around these parts, I do have about 125 episodes of the Name's the Same. Would love to have as many of those as possible. Look for me to do an episode guide soon for this show!

NO there isn't a guide anywhere that I have found yet. That's why I have thought about doing it. Now I just need to learn how to do webpages and I'll be set. I'm working on filling in the gaps from the first time they ran it.

I think I'd like Truth or Consequences -- Bob Barker's run and before.
I remember seeing that in syndication when I was a kid in the late 60s/early 70s.

I'll take all episodes of Family Feud (Dawson, Combs, Anderson, and back episodes of Karn...I'll tape the further eps myself)
-
Hey, I wouldn't mind pitching in for the episode guide for "The Name's the Same." Now, if only I had about three years' worth of GSN daily schedules on my hard drive...
