Old Game Shows Reincarnated

7 years ago

Sunday night we noticed that 2 new/old game shows were on.

The $100,000 pyramid with Michael Strahan as the host. He wasn't very comfortable, it seemed.

Rosie O'Donnell was one of the celebrity contestants.

After that show was over, Match Game came on with Alec Baldwin. Ugh, I don't like him at all. Again Rosie O'Donnell was on that one too.

Yeah, I didn't think Strahan seemed comfortable either. He'll get better. Pyramid was fun until Rosie O. So, I didn't bother watching Match Game. To Tell The Truth is suppose to be on tonight, I think.

I didn't know about these. I wonder if Hollywood Squares will be next. Are the shows on cable? Or the networks?

I used to watch reruns of I Married Joan, that's a really old one. Wasn't that before I Love Lucy? A couple years ago I found What's My Line from the 50s on the Game show network and started recording it. What amazed me was how formal the women dressed. Each walked on set, greeted the host in their poofed out skirts or ball gowns and then sat down. Decked to the nines in jewels. Funny how they thought that kind of attire was necessary for a silly game show. I loved watching it to see how young the guest stars were as well as waiting for them to say things like "I'm working on a picture called...." and then name a famous film we all know today as a classic. Or they would refer to the future ...1960! I don't know why but I'm fascinated by these old shows. I keep thinking, "wow, when this show aired I was in a crib!".

Football or Baseball helmet would be neat turned into a beer caddy. Billard balls could be cut in half and turned into a clock. Gold clubs could be used for a curtain rod. Tennis racket a key holder or remove the strings and replace with a mirror. Golf bag would make a neat lamp. You'd have to buy a lamp kit and a shade. I'd be incline to cut a circle near the top from wood and run the lamp kit thru that secure it at the neck with screws. I can't remember if they sit level or not but you could use a couple of golf clubs attached to the sides to help give it balance, maybe around the neck of the lamp add some golf balls glued in place to hide the wood. For some stablity so a good wind can't knock it over add some bricks inside.

so they all decided to head over to "Mister Roger's Neighborhood", if anyone could restore calmness it would surely be him. He called his cousin "Captain Kangaroo" to help entertain the crowd, but "The barefoot Contessa" stepped on a rusty nail and had to be taken to...

I've watched it...stumbled onto it by accident. I thought it was silly fun! OK...stupid antics, adults acting like children and I got caught up in the silliness. I need to "let go" and be a kid every now and then.....ya know!

They are on ABC. To Tell The Truth was on tonight at 10.

I was amazed at how vulgar they were. I must be a prude, but I remember the old ones, and while they might have been a tad risque at times, never outright vulgar.

So true. I happened upon Family Feud with Steve Harvey. Lots of innuendos sprinkled about for the laugh factor.

I watched a little of last night's To Tell the Truth. I don't care if I'm called a prude. Just couldn't stand it. I make a prediction: they won't last long.

Vulgarity gets so old and is too easy. I much appreciate a good joke that takes a little thought and will give these shows a pass.

Particular incident was on Family Feud when one contestant's answer alluded to anal sex. I can't imagine watching this with young kids. I was appalled.

These new shows are airing at a later time in the day. They are not meant for children to watch. Things and culture have changed tremendously from 50 years ago when these original shows were on the air. I think these are just a summertime "fill-in" situation and not meant to be permanent, unless they are a huge hit or something like that.

Murraysmom is right on all counts unfortunately. Thank goodness they are meant to be just summer replacements.

We stopped watching Family Feud when Steve Harvey took over. The show became all about him and his antics to make every answer an innuendo to sex.

I watched them but really didn't enjoy them. I love watching the old reruns of Match Game, What's My Line, To Tell the Truth, Password and Tattletales on Buzzer TV. I like the old Family Feud but can't stand seeing Richard Dawson kissing the contestants
