The thread about the 1975 TVGuide got me thinking: if you could go back in time, and record a complete library of just one game show, which would it be?

For me, I'd have to say "Celebrity Sweepstakes". It was one of my favorites and a must-see when I was home from school. Most of my other favorites I've got several episodes of via either trading or GSN, but "Celebrity Sweepstakes" is one treasure that appears forever lost.

Well, I think each one of us should adopt a show. I will take "The Big Showdown," cause it would take up less space in the spare room. BTW, the tapes still exist. They're at the bottom of the Hudson River in those airtight blue plastic tape boxes.

For me, it would be the entire run of Concentration from old days. Another big one, would be the original Hollywood Squares.

I'd like to have all of the PYL episodes (Yes, that includes un-aired ones like the lost BtS episode)

I'd have to go with Price is Right. Then, I'd finally get to see the 3 "lost" pricing games as well as all the episodes Bob banned from rerunning due to furs.

If we go by the "each of us adopts a show" idea, I've got first dibs on GONG.

Either daytime $otC (Perry). And maybe partial runs of MG7x and TPiR.

For me It would be the Davidson Squares Library. Such a Great Show!

For me it would be a short-lived show. Something like "Chain Reaction" (NBC 1980 only) or "Face the Music" would do just fine......

You're in the Picture. Yes, I'm short on storage space. :-)

The original "Twenty One," if only to spend time looking for tips that the show wasn't on the up-and-up.

Or the ABC run of Password, even if I had to take "Password All-Stars" as part of the deal.

I'd love to have the entire run of Whew!

From someone who was thinking of posting this very question, I was going to say the original run of Card Sharks, since GSN just skipped a few early episodes. However, I'm going to call dibs on Whew!. I remember seeing this during its original run, but nowadays, the only memories of it are what I've seen and read online.

I'll take the entire Scrabble collection (the 84 and 93 editions)...

and I'll take specific Daytime Wheel Episodes (dunno which ones)

I'm dibbin' Pyramid. Each run, including Davidson's since I'm a completist. Plus I have a little masochist in me...along with some Hungarian and Irish.
