mom2bee Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 (edited) Which would you pick and why? I grew up watching Jeopardy, Wheel of Fortune, Family Feud and the one with the really old guy who picked contestants from the audience and they played a lot of mini games about regular house hold products and then some luxury items. (Clearly I can't remember the name of the show, but I did watch it all the time. It came on in the morning.) The Price is Right! I don't watch game shows nearly as much as I would like to anymore, but I still day dream about going on one.

wintermom Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 (edited) I'd probably get too nervous and make silly guesses. ;) Alex Trebek is awesome, though! Kind of a role model for Canadians, eh. :laugh: Edited February 15, 2016 by wintermom 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mom2bee Posted February 14, 2016 Author Share Posted February 14, 2016 That was 'The Price is Right' Sent from my SM-T530NU using Tapatalk Yes! Actually rather embarrassing! I kept talking to myself about what the show is like and I couldn't think of the name, I just kept hearing "Come on down ". 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He wasn't old when I watched that show growing up. :lol: I'm going to shuffle off to my rocking chair and have a nap. ;) Edited February 14, 2016 by wintermom 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Night Elf Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 DH has auditioned for Jeopardy for the past 5 years and has never been called to be on the show. He's still hoping it will happen some day. Personally, the only game show I'd be willing to play was done in the 70's. It's called Match Game and we watch it on GSN every weekday. I think I'd be good at that one. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He wasn't old when I watched that show growing up. :lol: I'm going to shuffle off to my rocking chair and have a nap. ;) In my defense we didn't have cable and the picture was often grainy, plus no one knew that I needed glasses when I was a little kid. To be fair, I was a horrible judge of ages for adults. I seriously thought that Bill Cosby was in his 70s or 80s when I was a kid. I saw an article about him in the paper and thought that it was his obituary because that's how old people get in the paper, right? ETA: I checked online and Mr. Barker was in his mid-late 70s when I was watching as a kid in the 90s! He's in his 90s now. So, he actually did qualify as really old.

Kristie in Florida Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 The really fun ones on Nickelodeon when I was a kid, like Double Dare. They just seemed so much fun. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UCF612 Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 I wanted to be on The Mole. Not sure if that counts as a game show though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dmmetler Posted February 14, 2016 Share Posted February 14, 2016 I always wanted to be on "Where in the World is Carmen SanDiego?" Either that or Jeopardy :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dulce Domem Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 Ooh!!! I LOVED the mole! It came out right when my husband & I got married and we would rush home from work to watch it. I got a tad bit obsessed with all the hidden clues they would put in each episode. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Annie G Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 I would like to be smart enough to not only get onto Jeopardy but to do well...not necessarily win, but just not look like an idiot. But I'm probably more suited to be on the old Let's Make a Deal. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GAPeachie Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 DH and I have had this conversation often! DH would do Big Brother! We both would love to be on Supermarket Sweep or Lingo. I abhor games of "luck" but I greatly enjoyed Press Your Luck as a child. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crimson Wife Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 I always thought I'd do well on "Who Wants to be a Millionaire?" because it was multiple-choice and I am a really good guesser on MC questions. I also have a very eclectic group of smart friends whom I could phone if I didn't happen to know a particular question. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cinder Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 I remember wanting to be on Jeopardy when I was a kid. That was when the original show aired, then it went away. Then it came back, but I've never really considered trying out. The other show I wanted to be on was Price Is Right. I remember thinking back then that the show would be off the air by the time I grew up. That was in the 70's. :p I forgot about Match Game--that was a fun show. I also liked Pyramid and Password; never thought of being on those, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kewb Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 (edited) Supermarket sweep always looked like fun. I loved match game, password, and 100k pyramid when I was a kid. But I would probably choke under pressure on the pyramid. I used to think it would be cool to be on family feud. The original with Richard Dawson. I also loved the price is right, Hollywood squares, the newlywed game, the dating game, and the gong show. Who wouldn't want to go to Hawaii and grab money from the money volcano on Diamond Head. And wheel of fortune back in the day. Watching contestants spend a good chunk their winnings on a dalmation sculpture and an umbrella stand. Hmmm, I watched more game shows then I thought.

MrsWeasley Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 As a kid, I really wanted to be on Legends of the Hidden Temple. Now the idea of being on TV makes me queasy. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AmandaVT Posted February 15, 2016 Share Posted February 15, 2016 We still watch Wheel of Fortune and Jeopardy here most nights. I'm good at Wheel of Fortune, but I also have the tendency to blurt out the first thing that pops into my head while I'm trying to figure out the puzzle which results in some very, um, interesting "solves" on occasion. Jeopardy would really depend on the categories that day. Some I am great at and others, I'd look like an idiot. Those are two that I would be interested in going on though!

mom2bee Posted February 16, 2016 Author Share Posted February 16, 2016 Family Feud Who would you want to take with you? I think that FF would be amazingly fun, but I don't have 4 family members who do well with that type of thing. If I could take friends, I think we'd dominate for a week straight and get the car at the end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
