A note to those playing "Wheel of Fortune"...

Posted Image

With apologies to Jesse Jackson, this is not the right time to call for an "N".  But the contestant did - and got an awkward silence for it.

This screams fake to me.

Also, Match Game is awesome.

I've always enjoyed Family Feud, Jeopardy!, and Wheel of Fortune.  I also LOVED those dramatic trivia game shows from the late 90's/early 2000's.  Who Wants to be a Millionaire, Greed, 21, Weakest Link.

I loved watching GSN until Cablevision pulled it off digital basic and onto the sports package.  One of the many reasons I hate James Dolan and root against the Knicks and Rangers.

I enjoyed those too - I feel like that fad will be all over "I Love the 2000s" when that comes around. I don't watch TV much, I like "Deal or No Deal" but essentially it's just a game of chance mixed with some negotiating.

I've always been a big Price is Right fan, and thanks to GSN's reruns, I just about grew up watching Match Game and Family Feud (both 70's versions). I also find myself watching Are You Smarter Than A 5th Grader? often.

Also, anyone remember Win Ben Stein's Money? That was a great show, too.

The opinions I express are mine, and mine only. If I am to express them, it is not to say you or anyone else is wrong, and certainly not to say that I am right.

I liked the old game shows where the hosts were drunk and hitting on the wives, and everybody was smoking.

When I was in England, I watched one episode of "The Cube"

I also came across "The Million Pound Drop" and "Are you Smarter Than a 10 Year Old?" ^_^
I saw, I came, I left.

That was almost as bad as the day when someone cheated in "Shell Game". Barker chewed that lady out pretty good.

Grew up watching the $25,000/$100,000 Pyramid on USA. I consider myself a better person for it.

I've watched enough Wheel to know that most people spin it fairly consistently. I think if you paid attention, you could get into a pretty good rhythm and avoid Lose a Turn and Bankrupt pretty easily.
