What about the ones playing to get to the showcase- and re. The higher/lower they keep on ******* it up. Eg "50,540 dollars" higher. Next min $50535 dollars"

Oh man those guys cracked me up

The US of A has the Game Show Network.

Bring that here media folk.

Some of the ones ive liked over the years: Sale of the century, family feud, wheel of fortune, supermarket sweep, catchphrase, price, jackpot..? The one with the "whammies". Kids game shows: double dare, amazing, vidiot.

Deal or no deal was good. But i only ever tuned in for the final 5 mins, thats all that was really required tbh. Suppose you could say that about any GS tho..

Not available in Australia unfortunately

it is if you've got unblocker like used to work for Netflix

source - I've got it working on my android tv

game show central is pretty cool, but the dedicated price is right channel is awesome

About ten years ago on the ABC there were two English TV shows that were ‘twinned’. Show #1 was a Home and Away style soap opera, but Show #2 was a drama about the actresses, actors, crew and writers of Show #1.

Each week they’d show an episode of Show #1 followed by an episode of Show #2 about the making of that episode.

It was a bit trippy and never really worked. All I can remember is it had Ben Miller and Martine McCutcheon.

Dont Forget Your Toothbrush

HATED that show and Tim Ferguson with a passion

i dont understand, well two things
1) why classic simple format game shows like sale of the century and price is right are not still made
2) why one of the tv stations dont have a multi channel which just plays old quiz shows, be good to watch supermarket sweep and price is right and see that a can of peas cost 49 cents etc

presumably they would think Sale of the Century is too boring/basic, and Price is Right costs too much (with the multiple games) and having a large enough studio space? Let's try to forget the most recent Price is Right that was sponsored by Big W.

would be interesting to know how much footage of old game shows etc are in "the vault"

I liked DFYT

TV execs here to adopt the less is more approach for game shows here.

In the US, shows with straightforward setups like Jeopardy have been going for 35+ years (vale Alex Trebek). Even The Price is Right has been going for close to 50 years (2022 will be the 50th anniversary).

Family Feud and Wheel of Fortune have been going for decades over there too.

If you can get a good host (ie not Grant Denyer) with a simple format, you’ve got yourself a classic.

Family Feud was great.

Should do an adults only version would be hilarious

lesson never learnt

 

[PT Bar None]

Adult Family Feud hosted by Micallef with no leash would be pretty great

Echo Beach and Moving Wallpaper? Agreed it was bizarre but an interesting concept nonetheless.

They used to show 18 foot skiff racing during the cricket lunch breaks too which was about as exciting as watching paint dry.

Philistine - those broadcasts are what got me into skiff racing

It looked like it would be fun to participate in but it didn't make for a great tv sport.

Does anyone remember Tricky Business? It was a short lived Australian drama with Shane Bourne and Gigi Edgely.

Anything else to go off?

No.

Just that we saw it at a local civic centre. Not a chain cinema.
