Re: old game shows???

I would love to see old compilations of "The Price is Right" or "Family Feud".

I was in Las Vegas this summer and they have a live "Price is Right" show that I went to. In between contests, they showed some of the funniest moments from the history of the show and I was dying of laughter. I would love a full compilation of these moments.

Other thoughts could be "Joker's Wild", "The Match Game", "The Newlywed Game", & "Password"

Re: old game shows???

Match Game and Family Feud both air a couple times a day or more on GSN. Look for the times in your area. There's also a current Family Feud that runs in syndication. I'm looking forward to the Match Game DVD and I certainly would love to see more game shows come to DVD. A best of Price Is Right would be one I'd love. I also would love to see Jeopardy! which might be tough but I think it could be a good seller if they did a release consisting of celebrity editions.

Re: old game shows???

My Mom and Dad were contestants on "Break the Bank" when they were honeymooning in New York. The show ended before they finished playing, and they had to come back from DC the next week to appear again. We have pictures of them taken from the TV set, but how cool would it be to find a kinescope of that?

I'd love to give them a copy of that- They just celebrated their 51st wedding anniversary!

Re: old game shows???

If Match Game was the best game show of the 70s (which it was), then surely Peter Marshall's The Hollywood Squares was second.

Re: old game shows???

The Gong Show was the greatest. My friends and I all loved that show when we were in high school in the 70's. I caught some reruns a few years ago on the Game Show network and I still really enjoyed it. I'd buy Gong Show DVDs in a heart beat - I'd want full episodes though, not just clips or highlights.

I want The Gong Show released on DVD as well.I saw an episode,this past summer,on GSN's "Fifty Best Game Shows Ever",and it brought back alot of memories.Pehaps the company that's releasing The Match Game can release this,in a similar manner.

Re: old game shows???

If they ever release a best of Family Feud DVD set, they should release two volumes. One for the original 1976-1985 ABC/syndicated Richard Dawson run (as well as his brief 1994-1995 syndicated season return) and another for the 1988-1994 CBS/syndicated Ray Combs run. Ray Combs and his fans should not be ignored.

I'd also love to see best of DVD sets of The Price Is Right (any CBS and syndicated episodes from 1972 to the present with Bob Barker, Dennis James, Tom Kennedy, and Doug Davidson) and Card Sharks (the 1986-1989 CBS Bob Eubanks and 1986-1987 syndicated Bill Rafferty runs)
