Is ole school defined as 1962 and prior?


Jeopardy is still in existence and ranks among the most popular game shows of all time.

Given that, you can't reference its previous history as 'old school' imo.

That's why in post #2 I stated it's "still on the air"

I wanted to make sure it passed the Scal "Litmus Test."

Password.

Sports Challenge.

TattleTales - great show hosted by (former Phillie) Bert Convy.  Nice mix of B-list through D-List celebs and their significant others (often beards for queens like Charles Nelson Riley and person Seargent).  There were color-coded rooting sections.  It really had it all.

It didn't.

Fail.

It's like saying the Tonight Show with Johnny is an 'old school' late night show.

Can't believe no one said, "Tic Tac Dough."  

Joker's Wild and Card Sharks were solid.  Concentration underrated IMO.


Newlywed Game:

"Where is the weirdest place you've ever made love?"

"That would be up the butt, Bob."

Double Dare

Where in the World is Carmen San Diego

and

Legends of the Hidden Temple.  

There was nothing more I wanted than to be an Orange Iguana, and get past the shrine of the silver monkey, being the hero and on my way to winning a brand new pair of British Knights, a Home Alone 2 walkboy and a family cruise for four to Panama.

I miss the 90's.

Name that Tune was awesome.

25000$ Pyramid is still fun to watch on reruns.

Caesar's Fortune....if anyone remembers that one.  That was a good one.

Match Game, over 2000 episodes made, still watch old ones on GSN and also some downloaded on youtube, check out Kirstie Alley and Brian Bellick as contestants in 1979!  My favorite game show of all time, hands down.  I even got my kids to like it.

But above all was Press Your Luck.....that was until Michael Larson found the algorithm and the show was gone forever. They attempted a new version twenty years later and it was crap. Man did I love this show.

If you never saw how this show ended, check it out:

There's also a full documentary on the guy. Turns out he was someone who was always looking for loopholes in life to make money, this was his best one though.


This was so awesome. Thank you for sharing this video. As gamblers we can all appreciate it . We all try to beat the system and this guy did it. Crazy he died and got robbed for 50k and divorced. Said he was 35 in the show . He looked like he was 55
