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.

    • Come thru, Anita's backstory!!! Enjoy TT having her moment.    
    • Leslie is not being a very good criminal. All this asking questions of everybody is only making her look more obvious. The problem for Hayley is that she has failed to actually connect with Bill on anything other than going to bed or him buying her things. She acts like she is still the mistress and not the wife. It's fine that Vernon supports his wife, but he was making too many excuses for her and she was right to tell him to knock it off.  
    • HAHAHHAHA!!! @kalbir being right on the money...right down to the music.

    • Very true - AMC was a good ensemble show in the 90s (until Kendall/Zach/Greenlee/Ryan took over in the mid-2000/2010s). Glad you liked the 1994 tornado and 2006 Mardi Gras ball too

        I'll have to go watch those Mardi Gras ball scenes this weekend. I think I actually have them on VHS somewhere in some boxes haha, but I don't have a VHS player anymore.
    • As far as I know it's true that they wanted Judi all along & she wasn't available at first. And, it honestly doesn't matter to me. No preference.  But thanks for the geography lesson. It defeats me.  
    • Oh my gosh, what a great memory this is. My mom and I were so sad when this happened, not believing that Maria really died and would no longer be on our screens. So shocked.  I didn't remember Jim being there with Brooke as Maria and the plane go over the cliff. Julia Barr is a gem!
    • Honestly, this shouldn't need Mona OR Shanice. You mean to tell me there aren't other cameras in the hospital that would've caught her in the parking lot or the nurses station? They would've been better off saying she flirted with security and deleted the footage because this doesn't add up in 2025.
    • I had always heard 1985 was a rough year for the show.  A shame as we hear so much about bad producers and how they ruin a show. It would have been nice to see a good producer exhibit great results. The 1990 episodes currently uploaded bring back a lot of memories. I really enjoyed the Sharlene/Sharly storyline and Holbrook was fantastic.  Another example of someone overlooked for her superlative work although the Emmy voters would later rectify that. I also got a kick out of Taylor Benson and how she tortured Sharlene. I always wanted that story to go on longer than it did.  I'm again reminded how the Amanda/Sam/Evan story just collapses when RKK left. I don't know what the writers were building to (if anything) but that storyline is a dud now. Cali Timmins was perfect as Paulina. Seeing her again makes me even madder that she was replaced with Judi Evans. 
    • I have never liked the slapping thing. I don't care who's doing the slapping.  I went back to some GL episodes and it does seem like the writers were setting up something for Sonni and Roger in July 1989. I don't remember if anything came of it. A real shame as they had a lot of chemistry, but then both could have chemistry with a block of tofu.  
    • I hope they don't mess up Naomi and Jacob this early. The show needs one stable couple (Ashley/Derek don't count) without secrets and lies between them. At least for a while. Maybe down the line the show can explore Kat and Jacob. Right now, she seems way too immature for him.
