I am watching right now and Ricki Lake is hosting the show It says Gameshow Marathon and looks interesting. Celebs are playing for charities and at home players. Kathy Najimy, Tim Meadows, Lance Bass, and some woman named Paige are playing right now. I also saw Bette White in the audience.

Anyone watching?

WOW An ATWT promo in Primetime

I'm watching and YES I was excited at the ATWT promo.

Except this show is horrible so far. Ricki Lake is a BAD decision - she sucks. If I wanted to watch Price is Right I'd watch the real thing with a REAL audience.

I am however looking forward to the older shows like Card Sharks and Press Your Luck...but with Ricki Lake hosting I know I'll be annoyed.

It wasn't that good. Ricki Lake is the wrong host for this. My grandfather didn't like it either. He said there was "too much yapping."

They should have gotten Sinbad to host. That would have been a riot.

:lol:

I agree with your grandfather. LOL!

It was like a bootleg version of "Price Is Right!" Heck, the primetime specials were better than this. I guess they needed all that yapping as filler since they only did like half a show and took the the two highest wheel spinners to the showcase showdown. Bootleg!

LOL! I haven't seen Sinbad in a long time.

IMO They should have the actual hosts of the show...

Ricki Lake sucks!

The Price Is Right - Bob Barker

Let's Make a Deal - Monty Hall

Beat the Clock - Gary Kroeger (who hosted the 2002 version)

Press Your Luck - Todd Newton (GSN Version)

Card Sharks - Jim Perry or Bob Eubanks

Match Game - Since Gene Rayburn has passed away, Charles Nelson Reilly or Michael Burger would have been great choices

Family Feud - Richard Dawson

I like the idea, but I think the celebrities are what brings it down. They don't win anything, so they won't be excited about winning anything. They forced excitement the whole thing through. And there was no reason for them to basically take 30 minutes of TPIR and stretch it over 60 minutes when they could have just did it like a regular show.

Now if they used real people, it would be awesome. And I like that they're being authentic with the sets and music. And I liked the little retrospective at the beginning. I'm a huge game show junkie, so I'll keep watching just to watch. The last three will be my faves, for sure.

I thought the show was okay... what was with all the celeb contestants looking lost when they did the games? It was like they have never seen The Price Is Right before. And I could have did with out all the talking, and explanation of every bit (it was like watching half of The Price Is Right)... they would have just played it like a celebrity edition of the game show. I loved how when they scanned the crowd and they showed Adam Carolla, he was leaving the audience. I'm really looking foward to Beat The Clock, Card Sharks, and Match Game.

Oh, "flamboyant" is an incredible understatement. I watched pieces. :lol:

I liked this primetime "Game Show Marathon." 'Twas easy to view. I think it could be a hit because it's comfortable viewing if you're too lazy to change the channel, and you'll probably get some portion of enjoyment from it due to said laziness.

    • Ok I just bought Kim's book on Amazon... should be an interesting read.
    • Well, I think she's trying to be funny, and it's technically accurate, if misleading. If you leave out the Sonni part it's "Josh left Reva to (go to) Venezuela shortly before Reva had her miscarriage because of Vanessa." I guess "Josh left Reva after finding out the child she was carrying was his father's, and miscarried because of her drugged out step-daughter-in-law, where he met a woman with split personality..." isn't as "snappy".
    • Thanks for the info. Timm was a model for years, so one could speculate he may have done something like nudity etc... that violated CBN's moral clause. He was good in the role. He had an awesome mop of 80's blow dried hair that would rival Ted McGinley.....LOL
    • Before I met Reva, I really did enjoy Josh and Annie. The beginning of their relationship was really cute, the flirting and chemistry was there. I was fully into it, but then I learned who Jeva was and realized it couldn't sustain. I just read a few interviews that Kim gave online, and it's pretty clear she loves her wine, which I love. I'm a wine guy too, so I'm not surprised she had to have a little here and there to get through some things.
    • Opinion polls conducted by soap podcasters are not the same as "soap opera award shows".
    • Unfortunately, that period of the show would likely just put you to sleep. A part of me agrees, as I do think Robert is a good actor (better than I gave him credit for at the time), but I'm not sure, aside from Harley, how much he ever clicked with other ladies. He did have some spark with Crystal Chappell. I know there were claims they didn't get along either, although I remember reading somewhere (I think) a story about how Michelle was panicking when they had to film the rope ladder scenes in Venezuela, and Kim had to help her through...and Kim had also had a bit to drink.  (I hope I have the details right)
    • Does anyone have January 6, 1999 (2958) in english?
    • Thank You very much for the info

    • Thanks for this. I probably remember Empty Nest more fondly than a lot of folks, even in our age group. I remember mainly watching the later seasons whenever I was home on Sat nights simply because Sophia was added to the cast, even though the show seriously lost its momentum after Kristy McNichol left. Always surprised how long NBC just let it run and disappointed on how it became lost/forgotten over time. A few years back once was discussing old tv shows with some folks and they brought how they remembered Kristy McNichol in Family, but none of them remembered Empty Nest until I pushed pertinent details on them.    Fun fact, Grace Zabriskie, best known for her  work on Twin Peaks, appeared in both the series premiere and series finale. (BTW @kalbir I’ve come across some very interesting 1995-96 weekly ratings & commentary look out for them in the next couple days in the 90’s ratings thread!) The 1980-81 season was NBC’S nadir for everything wasn’t it? Primetime was a disaster, daytime was in the toilet, News & Today show were forgotten about, SNL nearly on its last ropes etc. think Johnny Carson was the one thing pushing NBC through and even his show went from 90 mins to 60 mins. Glad they did give Hill Street Blues a Chance though.  Strange CBS Friday nights the Incredible Hulk was only at #46 leading into the #3 and #1 shows. Benson didn’t look too great either. The 8:00/7:00 Fri night slot really was cursed for the duration of the 80’s and 90’s wasn’t it, save for Full House? NBC wouldn’t have a successful newsmagazine until Dateline in what 1991, 1992? Funny though as of 2025 only the original recipe 60 Minutes still does well, as its competitors 20/20, Dateline, Primetime Live or companion shows like 48 Hours are either dead or useless junk to fill out a schedule.
