7. I'm sorry.
You need to phrase that in the form of a question.

26. I loved that one, too
I remember it coming on the USA Network in their three-hour game show block in the afternoon when I was an Elementary kid.

It may be my favorite, though I also like the old "25,000 Pyramid" and "Classic Concentration" quite a bit.

18. Who can choose? I'm a game show junkie, I admit it.
I love the old black and white panel shows like What's My Line and I've Got A Secret. John Daly was so elegant as host of WML, and Garry Moore was just cool. I also like Robert Q. Lewis on The Name's The Same.

The original night time TPIR hosted by Bill Cullen was fabulous. If I were forced to choose a favorite, that might just be it.

I love the game shows of my childhood that bring back such great memories - the color version of TTTT, hosted by Garry Moore, Match Game, The Joker's Wild, Tattletales, Bob Barker's TPIR, Password Plus with Allen Ludden, Card Sharks.

I love Jeopardy! for its harder questions, I love Tic Tac Dough for its cheesiness, and I really miss the old shopping sprees of Wheel Of Fortune (does anyone remember Chuck Woolery and Susan Stafford instead of Pat Sajak and Vanna White?).

Give me Name That Tune, Blockbusters, Scrabble, Family Feud.

I would love to see the return of the daytime network game show. TPIR is the only one left.

23. El Gran Juego De La Oca!

Uac! Uac! uac!

http://meltingpot.fortunecity.com/andorra/57/oca.html

it was a spanish game show that was on about 9 or 10 years ago-
and it was WILD!
people getting their heads shaved by the "crazy barber"
lots of explosives, spiders, and every week there was a topless woman getting body painted on the set throughout the show.

the christmas show featuring Mr. T. was especially fantastic.
