July 13, 200718 yr Author Member Is it okay for me to post this video here?! It's going along with the theme of favorite game shows. Check it out...the Bob Goen hosted Wheel finally uploaded to YouTube. These dollar amounts are SO pathetic. I feel sorry for the contestants who thought they were signing up for the syndicated version with Pat and Vanna! Shame is that Goen is a great host...the crappy prizes were the bad thing about this show. <object width="425" height="350"><param name="movie" value=" name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src=" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="350"></embed></object> Oh gosh that looks like ancient history! I knew there was a host before Pat Sajak but now I got a look at him
July 13, 200718 yr Member Shame is that Goen is a great host...the crappy prizes were the bad thing about this show. Poor Bob Goen...... He's another guy that had to co-host with Mary Hart, and seems to have had the life sucked out of him due to it. There have been a lot of good people who have come and gone from ET, and Mary is still there; now a days though whoever is hosting still has to say they are "in for Mary Hart" ..... Sorry to go off topic.......
July 13, 200718 yr Member I'm a biiiiig game show fan, so I'm a fan of a lotta shows, but my big faves are "The Price is Right, "Match Game," "Password Plus," "Family Feud," and "Blockbusters." I like just about every Goodson-Todman show.
July 19, 200718 yr Member I always did like the classic Pyramid. Match Game, too. Gene Rayburn was perfect for that game.....great rapport with the celebs, the gamers and the audience. And he was the only one that had that funny-looking long, thin microphone. I'll still watch that show sometimes on GSN. Used to watch more game shows years ago. Name That Tune, Joker's Wild (with the easiest questions), Tic Tac Dough..I remember Wheel of Fortune when it was Chuck Woolery and Susan Stafford. Oooh, Password and its spinoffs. Tattletales...I think that was the one with Bert Convy and the 3 married celeb couples? I thought the recent revival of "I've Got A Secret" was cute. But I've really always like the games that were word or language based, like Pyramid or Password.

But I think he used a regular one in the very first episode, though.
