Of course, in the '60's there was only one, but which show would be your pick for the best TK show in the '70s and what would you choose in the '80s?
-
70s-Name that Tune
80s-Whew!
-
You don't hear about it here much, because I don't think many episodes exist, but "To Say The Least" was an EXCELLENT show.
For the 80's? "Whew!", of course. :)
-
70's - Split Second
80's - The Price is Right
Absolutely LOVED the syndicated 1985 'PiR.
-
80's - The Price is Right
70's - well... guess.

Tom did Dr. IQ circa 1961, and don't forget Big Game in the 50s, but it would run unopposed.

Well, sure Zach, but what are your choices in the 70's and '80s? I didn't ask about the 50's because even our older members here either can't remember much or have forgotten about that decade. I liked BTB in the '70s and BL in the '80s/

You're suggesting Zach failed to answer the original question so he could regale us with his broad knowledge? Say it ain't so.
Now then, to the question posed by Mr. Owen:
1970s: Break The Bank
1980s: Wordplay
-
[quote name=\'SplitSecond\' date=\'Dec 19 2004, 03:58 AM\']80's - The Price is Right

Guess? OK......Name That Tune? :)
*ducking*
-
Can we use Whew! for both the 70s and 80s?
-
70s: NTT (Honorable Mention: SS)
80s: WORDPLAY (Honorable Mention: P+--thought he tackled the replacement role with a lot of class)
I didn't really see enough of WHEW! to be able to comment on it. I know many on this board loved it, but I can't join the chorus for now (perhaps someday down the road I can see for myself).

-
70s: Name That Tune
80s: The Nighttime Price is Right
-
'70s: NTT
'80s: Body Language.
BL may have had a lousy scoring system. But Tom and the stars always made it fun.
-
Just one? That's gonna be a challenge.
Tom had some really good shows in the 70s...Split Second, NTT, To Say the Least, and W! all come to mind.
For the 80s, it'd be a toss-up between P+, BL, and TPiR.

Actually, Tom's gig as Dr. I.Q. was late 1958-59. So here's how I'd do this:
1950s-'60s: You Don't Say
1970s: Name That Tune (Honorable mention: Split Second)
1980s: Password Plus (Honorable mention: Body Language)
Cordially,

So what your telling me is, Zach, not only failed to provide any kind of answer to the original question; but he posted incorrect information as well.
A real double whammy, if you ask me.
-
Tough question, because he did so many great shows; but if I had to pick, it would be
70s - Break the Bank (honorable mention: Split Second)
80s - Whew (honorable mention: syndie Price is Right)
-
70s- Split Second, 80s- Wordplay
-
70s--"Split Second." Great format, great hosting.
80s--"Whew!", on general principles, with honorable mention to "Body Language," because he was so good working with celebs.
