Members MissLlanviewPA Posted March 23, 2013 Members Share Posted March 23, 2013 WHOA, I NEVER expected this to happen at ALL, given how it was said for years that the rights were too expensive for it to make it to GSN. Talk about Hell freezing over. Adding Scrabble would just be icing on the cake. Also: YAY! Super Password is back! ETA: NEW episodes of Press Your Luck? Are there 80s episodes they've never aired?

Members All My Shadows Posted March 23, 2013 Members Share Posted March 23, 2013 GSN, as far as I know, has always cycled only a portion of PYL's episodes. Originally, the Michael Larsen episodes weren't reran as part of the package, but they eventually rotated them in. I can remember back in 2000-2001 that it was another show that everyone said GSN would *never* air because of rights issues, then it ended up being picked up (along with $1.98 Beauty Show -- let's revive THAT [!@#$%^&*] immediately!). There are other shows that they've only aired partially for one reason or another. The 80s Pyramids for sure (25K at least). Carl, I'd love some direction toward some old UK game shows! I've only ever really watched Family Fortunes, mainly because they'd show so many clips of it in those awesome compilation specials that were constantly on TV a few years ago.

Members DAYSjunkie1987 Posted March 23, 2013 Members Share Posted March 23, 2013 Super Password (and Password Plus) has been back since last April, actually. They just acquired more episodes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted March 23, 2013 Members Share Posted March 23, 2013 This channel has a number of episodes of UK game shows. For example: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jb_70B1nwAo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members SoapDope Posted March 26, 2013 Members Share Posted March 26, 2013 I have set my DVR for Sale Of The Century. I use to watch it when it was on the air back in the day. I have been watching Press Your Luck and Super Password. It will be nice to see some fresh episodes from those two. I wish they would get some more Dick Clark Pyramid shows. It seems like every week I see the same old episodes with Charlie Seibert, Nipsey Russell or Earl Holliman. They made a career out of just doing these shows.

Members Max Posted April 19, 2013 Members Share Posted April 19, 2013 I like the picture of the classic Pyramid set. In my opinion, the main reason why the Donny Osmond version failed was because the set looked so radically different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MissLlanviewPA Posted April 21, 2013 Members Share Posted April 21, 2013 Match Game 98--a weird incident where a certain answer had to be bleeped completely--even though it was a match all around: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JenbnP1RBv0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MissLlanviewPA Posted April 21, 2013 Members Share Posted April 21, 2013 One of 5 pilots done for Match Game 90, this one hosted by Bert Convy. He didn't wind up hosting the show due to his developing a brain tumor (Seattle-based comedian Ross Shafer wound up with the job--there's actually some interesting stuff on him if you want me to post it here), but he wound dying AFTER the show was already cancelled in the summer of 1991. This includes the infamous "bobbing for balls" incident with Teri Copley. Trivia: the Michelle in this episode is the same one from the last episode of Super Password, also hosted by Convy. I always liked this version of Match Game. It should've lasted longer. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d4fQZC3U3zw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Max Posted April 28, 2013 Members Share Posted April 28, 2013 Somebody actually won $100,000 on TPIR last week playing Pay the Rent (one of the show's newest and most difficult pricing games). This was the first time Pay the Rent was ever won. http://<iframe width="560" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/t2Ol2sn3asc?rel=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
