"I Guess You Had To Be There"...
« on: September 16, 2008, 09:45:15 AM »
Here's a quick poll:

If you were given the chance to go back in time to be able to sit in the audience for a taping session for ONE game show of the past -- meaning the show and/or it's original host is not currently on the air, which one would it be?

I'd probably take any game that had the Cullen/Pardo tag-team -- see the best of both worlds at the same time!

The original "Match Game".  Studio 8-H, circa 1964.

But if I'm seven years old, and I'm visiting 30 Rock, I can't just attend one show.  I'd have to get there early for "Concentration", at the very least.

A November 1977 taping of GONG.  Stock bits now well established, Jaye P. Morgan and/or Jamie Farr on the panel, and Jack Clark subannouncing for Johnny Jacobs.  And the audiences were getting wilder and wilder.  Not to mention the acts.

Probably would have to go with an episode of Scrabble because I would want to see the actual Sprint Round board in action instead of the computer graphics that the viewers saw at home.  I also would want to attend a late 80's taping just to get an idea of what Chuck says to the audience at the end of the show, considering how the audience stops applauding to listen to it.

I'm torn between wanting to see celebrities and wanting a chance at being part of the proceedings.  However, being also a Barkerphile, I have to go for the latter and say Truth or Consequences.

$ale, Scrabble, PYL [just to see their respective sets], $100K Pyramid [only to run up on stage after a 100K win], Super Password [or P+], probably more I can't think of at the moment.

-"Match Game '75 or '76", right along the time the panel was at their peak.
-70s Pyramid, the NYC audience went absolutely nuts when someone won.
