You've just been appointed head of NBC daytime. The president of NBC knocks on your door; and tells you they are cancelling the final hour of "Today". They want two game shows in its place.

What do you revive?

Concentration would be one obvious choice, given it's NBC. Maybe go off the NBC board and bring back Hollywood Showdown(though it aired on NBC's cousin PAX in 2000), since GSN doesn't want to do new episodes of it.

Two comfortable, instantly recognizable formats.  "Concentration" and "Password." I would do them as NBC in-house productions (in association with Fremantle for Password, but I would have creative control.)  Hopefully, we could build from there and get more shows on eventually.

Concentration and The Big Showdown (I believe NBC Universal Television Enterprises may have a stake in it, since MCA Television co-produced the original ABC series.)

I'll join the chorus on CONCENTRATION, but I'd bring back SCRABBLE (with Woolery on board).

I would bring back Concentration too, but the other show....let's see. I'd probably go with either Scrabble or SOTC, or do another in-house show [possibly Weakest Link]. Of course, though, there's nothing wrong with a new concept, either.

How about Second Honeymoon and Dream House. The latter would be a good idea, what with all the 'house makeover' shows that are big right now.

Concentration and Scrabble.  Blockbusters would be a backup choice.

I would go with "Classic Concentration" and "$ale of the Century". Some form of "Password" would make a good backup in case I can't get one of those back.

"Concentration" and "BlockBusters", definitely.

I'd have to give some thought to who would host the shows. Bergeron would be good on "BlockBusters", I think.

Katie Couric's agent, probably using CPR. Thank you! I'll be here all next year...

Seriously, I'll join the Concentration mob, and maybe tout You Don't Say!

Actually, Katie and Matt have been bitching up a storm about doing the 3rd hour since it's premiere.... I'm sure they wouldn't mind it's dissapearance at all..

For my votes... Concentration and Match Game.....you need something for the celebs to pimp their shows....and since H2 is no more.....

Maybe NBC could give Katie the 9pm hour on MSNBC soon to be vacated by Deborah Norville next month.

ObGS: Her new lead-in would be a news anchor who lost on J!--twice.

ObOriginalTopic: How come no one has mentioned Twenty One yet?  I'd vote for that and Concentration.
