Oh god I was all about that show. Stein and Kimmel were oddly great together.

Yeah, even though I liked the Man Show, I was sad to see Kimmel leave. That chick they replaced him with just simply could not fill his shoes.

Yeah I dug TPIR too.
And I know it's dorky but, I really dug that show Classic Concentration and the Whammy red guys (whatever it was).

I was astonished to learn they only filmed one season of Cosby's remake of You Bet Your Life

I'm not really a game show fan but I loved watching The Crystal Maze when I was younger.

Oh yes that was splendid.. But anyone here remember Fort Boyard? I think it was "localised" into several languages.

Oh and Takeshi's Castle was hilariously good!

Seriously there were decent MASSIVE game shows decades before reality TV came and pooped on everything decent that came before it. Reality TV plain sucks..

Ha! Takeshi's Castle is amazing....and the overbubbed localized version (extreme elimination challange or somethin') is still kinda funny too.

Jeopardy is always great & the Ben Stien show was ok...but I dont' really like him and his republican speech writing ways. He wrote speeches for Nixon. ugh.

I really think Ninja Warrior is great, but I don't have cable so I only see it here or there.

There are some great classics to. I always watched Double Dare, Nick Arcade, and Legend of the Hidden Temple when I was younger.

And I completely agree, reality tv is horrid.

I second Hollywood Squares, I used to watch that a lot when I was younger. I also like the show with the Whammy's (not sure if Whammy is actually the title of the show)

I hate Deal or No Deal

Never heard of Nick Arcade, what is that. I used to watch Figure it Out, that was pretty good and funny.


It was great. Watching it though you want to smack the kids because how bad they were.

Of course melissa joan heart..... she can do no wrong
