Three's a Crowd was actually kind of engaging. Liked the theme song too.

I could prolly sit thru TJW90 again...I used to watch it everyday on USA and it was all right, even though I of course prefer the earlier versions.

Judging by the clip I saw on Klauss' site, Camouflage seemed unintentionally funny. Had me cracking up, esp. the faux dramatic music.

Quicksilver wasn't the WORST game show ever, but a little too tedious for a half-hour show.

Well, I guess someone has to cast a vote for HIT MAN.

Anybody want to volunteer?  :)

Somebody has got to throw something seriously obscure in here, so...

"Let's Play Post Office," a 60s NBC game. Don Morrow read letters that gave a clue to somebody or something. (For example, a letter with the line "It's cold up here. It's below zero. I mostel you this." led to "Fiddler on the Roof.")

You can see how this would get old quickly, but it had a great set, complete with mailboxes.

(EDIT) Can I change my vote, Garry? See later post.

[quote name=\'DrBear\' date=\'Mar 9 2005, 03:03 PM\']Does anybody have a clear copy of the theme from "60 Minutes?" Not the current one, the original with the different stopwatch.

OT, but another classic sig. kudos!

I actually quite enjoy "The Joker's Wild" 1990. Another "flop" I like is "Hot Potato" (I call it a flop because it was only on for a half a year), and I like "Monopoly " & "Small Talk."

If Wipeout was half as fun as the computer game, it's too bad it lasted only a season.

"Three's a Crowd" was OK.  By the way, does anybody have a copy of that theme song?

Anybody?

I would have to say The Joker's Wild 90 was a good game. Now, I may get killed for this, but I can honestly say Tic Tac Dough 90 was at least tolerable to watch. *ducks*

Well if those infamous Faux Pause Picks bumpers should be taken as credible sources, I'm sure Bullseye would count amongst my choices ;-)  (And yes after 7 years I still have not forgotten that!)

I actually did/do think the Rapping Dragon was unintentionally funny.  And TTD90 wasn't THAT big of an abuse...the look and sounds of it were inferior to the Wink era, of course, but it was basically the same game.

All About Faces...I've seen one full episode but it's endearingly cheesy enough for me to want to see more.

BTB'85...I know we hate it for, among other reasons, what K&F did to Gene.  But I recently got two episodes and it didn't manage to completely break my will to live or anything.

MG/HS Hour...seems we as a whole are divided on this one.  You either love or hate it.  I did the former.  

Hit Man...another show with no gray area.  Either it was boring or an unappreciated classic.  I can't help but be partial to it having grown up with it.  The set and the music were great too.

Video Power...well back in the day I loved it.  What 12-year-old wouldn't be attracted to a game show where you could get tons of free video games?

Would Break The Bank (model year 1976) be considered a flop? True, it lasted a mere three and a half months, but according to material presented in this forum, it was near the top of all daytime ratings during its run.
By the way, Jimmy, please use "Break The Bank" next in your last sig rotation. Thanks.

If it's cancelled after 16 weeks, it's still a flop.  A qualified flop, but a flop nonetheless.  And the lackluster performance of the syndicated weekly version didn't help matters any.

  • Just leave the set; that’d be terrific.

"Bad" being a subjective term in either your mind; or in the minds of the majority of a group.

If I like a show that is "bad", I think that its "good".
