Yes, third time's DEFINITELY a charm when VH1 brings us "I Love the '80s 3-D" starting October 25. Let's hope and pray that Thom McKee's and Michael Larson's respective reigns of terror on Tic Tac Dough and Press Your Luck will FINALLY be featured!!
Of course, some of the non-game show stuff will be highlighted as well including Circus of the Stars, Donahue (finally!), and Bloopers and Practical Jokes (aka the original Punk'd). I guess unlike E!, VH1 does have the money to pay for the clips.

If any game show is featured on I Love the 80's, it's gonna be Double Dare, and only because it started a huge craze of kids' game shows in the late 80's.

So help me, if they don't do Pitfall, I'm strapping on some cement shoes.
Will that be Tylenol or Advil? ;-)

Pat O' Brien, no. Wheel, yes (first one).

GSN could do a similar series concerning game shows. Just get some unemployed stand up comics and social commentators to recite some made-up reminiscences:
"We were sitting around waiting for the premiere of 'Double Talk' with Henry Polic II, and when the show started, the first thing that I said was 'They're using the Blankety Blanks theme! THEY'RE USING THE FREAKING BLANKETY BLANKS THEME!"

And of course, PO'B was covering sports at CBS during much of the '80s.
I said that Bloopers and Practical Jokes will be featured third time around; when it was Super Bloopers and New Practical Jokes in the early '90s, Alex Trebek on one of the episodes got pranked during a fake "Trebekie" convention. Trebekie...Trekkie...get it??

BTW, you're wrong. Wheel was 1987.
And also, didn't Pat O'Brien make an appearance on at least one of the I Love The '90s shows? I swear I saw him.

And of course, everybody's favorite "Bert & Burt" show was shown in the 1988 episode of the original run.

Nice tagwork, mega.

We're getting closer to air and I just saw some of these shows. Well, just the bumpers, but this time around there seems to be a lot more.
Two of the bumpers are presented by people of interest to this board. One is Chuck Woolery who presents the "On Screen Hookups" of the year. The other is Alan Thicke (who I'm pretty sure is the same person as Chuck Woolery) who tells us of the "Hottest Moms" of the year.
For the curious, the rest are Teen Idols of the year with Paula Abdul, 80s Dictionary with , of course, Webster himself Emmanuel Lewis, the biggest boobs of the year with Elvira, the movies that should have been in 3D with "Weird Al" Yankovic, Guilty or Not Guilty with Harry Anderson and a year-in-review with the world's fastest talking man, John Moschitta.
The bumpers are available now to those who have access to VH1 On Demand.

Besides Woolery, Thicke, and Moschitta, Elvira hosted a 2000 GSN marathon of unsold game show pilots, and Harry Anderson appeared on at least one week of CBS $25K Pyramid and hosted a What's My Line revival pilot in 1999.

If the year was 1988, most likely WLoD, considering that 3rd Degree didn't premiere until 1989.
