I'll do you one better: The scatting on "The Better Sex".
Close second: Hollywood Squares [current version].  That was a theme?

Well, it was a top 50 single back in the early 80s.  

Actually, I like "Square Biz," but I've always liked Teena Marie--[Chuck Barris] but then again, I like hernia operations. [CB]

 That's why I didn't choose the current version of Pyramid.  It doesn't even rise to the level of being a theme.

THEME- Current Pyramid theme (way too futuristic), Family Challenge theme (sounds like some dumb square dance song)

HOST- Patrick Wayne (zzz), and Rolf (didn't even know the rules)

FORMAT CHANGE- Trivia Trap's new format made the name seem useless

SHOW- Um... Yahtzee I guess, very short lived and boring

[The Ol' Guy]

Worst theme - tie between Pyramid and TTD 90. Might lean more toward TTD, as Pyramid was just a rhythm track.

worst is a relative thing - I'll pick a few that left a bad taste -


Host - Red Rowe, nighttime Video Village (Narz was just as gabby in the early nighttime shows before it moved to daytime, as it was a new show and there was a lot to explain. But when Rowe took over..oh my God, Red..SHUT UP and move the game along!!!)

Format change: the second incarnation of Play The Percentages really blew. Three On A Match going from matching prizes to pictures on the board was weird.

Show - boy, a lot to choose from - Winning Streak (weak main game, fair bonus - dull, dull, dull), Blankety-Blanks, but big ones that come to mind are $1.98 Beauty Pageant, Three's A Crowd, and The Neighbors for their entertain through humiliation factor.

The worst bonus game I've ever seen was the second "Caesar's Challenge" bonus game.  You hardly could tell if the letters were spinning or not, and usually by the time you solved the third word, the 30 seconds were gone.  (They probably should have lengthened the round to 45 seconds.)  From what I possibly read, only one person won this particular end game.

 Where did you read that?  Because I could've sworn I've personally seen otherwise.

Indeed...it was actually two people, and on consecutive shows, since balloons were still strewn across the stage floor the day after the 1st win.

Worst game-show-decision-since-greenlighting-Studs: Replacing Louie with Richard Karn. I *used* to watch this if it was on when I was home, and I *used* to laugh a lot at it. Now, it's the only thing that puts me to sleep faster than the Tonight Show.

 I have a feeling you're going to have a hard time finding people who agree with you on this.

Louie was so bad he made Benirshke look viable.

 Yeah...generally anyone who agrees with me on this is about to ask me for money.

Can you spare a dime?

Seriously, I actually liked Louie, too.

Actually it was three.  It happened about a month after that bonus round was introduced, then on the two consecutive shows about another month after that.
