1966-70 NBC daytime episodes of The Hollywood Squares.  I would especially like to see the second week, which was Paul Lynde's first appearance on the show. , and would love to see more of Gypsy Rose Lee.

Runner up would be a tossup between the ABC Password and NBC Match Game.  Sure wish someone would've saved the last couple of years of the Daly What's My Line? on color tape, too.

Cullen-era "Price is Right".  Not much of a game, but still...it's Bill Cullen.

[Jay Temple]

Wow, you really haven't left me with much. It's a toss-up between two short-lived Cullen shows. I take Blankety Blanks and hope someone else will save Pass the Buck.

Or not.

Since the quality has been picked through fairly thoroughly, I'll go for the fun factor:

The Magnificent Marble Machine

[DjohnsonCB]

NBC's It Takes Two  hosted by Vin Scully.

Jack Narz' Concentration

Stumpers!

"Break the Bank," a la Tom Kennedy.

Still intact.  Owned by, and in the past, aired on, GSN.

My choice, and I'm surprised no one has said this:

Showoffs.

Since almost all of the other choices have been taken, I'll call for ABC PASSWORD.[/quote]
Actually, I prefer that choice.  In my collecting, I find that I'm not all that interested in getting dozens and dozens of non-celeb shows (unless they're Cullen, of course).  The ones with celebrities have more appeal to me, and the ABC Password had some pretty big stars in its run.  (I'd also specifically love to own a complete set of Password All-Stars, for much the same reason.)

Glad you liked it, but for some reason I didn't see that BFG called it before I did.  So he gets full credit.

So, what to pick, what to pick?

Well, according to David Schwartz, only half of GONG still exists, although I have my doubts whether he's completely correct about that.  But if he is, I'll call for that.

And has it been established that BATTLESTARS is intact?  If not, that's my second choice.

My choice would be Celebrity Sweepstakes, but since it's been mentioned, I'll second it!  

"Break the Bank," a la Tom Kennedy.

Still intact. Owned by, and in the past, aired on, GSN.

Yes, but only 33 of the series 100 episodes were ever run.  I'm still a bit perturbed that they never gave this a complete run; and it seems unlikely now that it will ever be on the schedule again.  I can understand them not wanting to run the entirety of something like All About the Opposite Sex, but Break the Bank was always thought to be a good quality show, that I don't think ever got the treatment it deserved - either on ABC or GSN.

And has it been established that BATTLESTARS is intact? If not, that's my second choice.

I'd go for Battlestars too - IMHO another under-rated gem.  Since both runs occurred in the '80s, it's assumed this still exists; but we have no proof either way.

Since Woolery WOF has been taken by Mr. Coyne and the two Concentrations taken by Eric and Matt, I'm left with one choice:

Tom Kennedy Name That Tune

At least, I think a lot of those episodes were destroyed, IIRC. I'm positive many here would know for sure...

I think the conventional wisdom is that Tom's daytime shows are probably gone, but that the syndicated episodes are merely unavailable, locked up in a syndicator's closet gathering dust.

I would like to see early episodes of Definition.
