I don't believe either Match Game or The Newlywed Game were shown, but they should have been.

Newlywed Game was shown in the '71 (I think) episode, as was LMAD.

Of course there were other game shows they ignored, like Hollywood Squares, Tic Tac Dough, Joker's Wild, Press Your Luck, and the aforementioned Match Game.

Wheel was 1987, and I'm fairly sure it was one of the two leadoff topics.

AG will be (or already was) discussed.

I was surprised that Jeopardy never got a mention in either I love the 80s (or strikes back) or '90s, other than a passing glance from Alex Trebek in Nerds of 84 (Nerd who answers in the form of a question).

Probably some more game shows could be mentioned (I was surprised Press Your Luck didn't get a nod, but at the same time I wasn't), but the truth is that unless a game show is a real phenomenon (like Millionaire was) it won't make the grade. These are pop culture shows, not the history of TV. We really shouldn't get all bent out of shape because of it, I think. Who knows? Maybe they'll do another I Love The 70s or Return of I Love The 80s, and we'll see some of those mentioned. Maybe they won't. Who knows?

P.S. One I woulda liked to see was Tattletales.

I could see them mentioning Carmen Sandiego. I'm sure more than a few people in the show's target audience have fond memories of that show.

AG was part of the "Born In" segment of the original "I Love 1989". It was only a brief, 5 second mention.

I think Supermarket Sweep is our only hope. Don't dream too much.

'92 is starting as I type this, and the opening indicates AG will get a mention in this episode.

I think they also featured MTV's Remote Control in the ILT80's: Strikes Back.

Correct me if i'm wrong.

Here's the complete list of game shows that i saw mentioned on ILT90's: Part Deux:

1990: Supermarket Sweep (Quite surprised to see this get mentioned, even more surprised to see VH1 bust out footage I hadn't seen since the Lifetime era.)

1992: American Gladiators, Studs

1999: Win Ben Stein's Money (it was pretty much a guarantee that we'd see this, seeing as Mr. Stein popped up many times in the series, and even got his own solo segment (Pimpest Tracks aka hip-hop/rap songs of that particular year.)

1996: Singled Out.

But hey, I was glad that my girl Sarah Michelle Gellar finally got some love from the I Love the '90s gang with "Cruel Intentions" and of course "Buffy."

This decade is half over. Shouldn't VH1 be starting to air "I Love the '00's"? Memories of the '90's are so upper demo.

Off the top of my head...

'70s: The Gong Show, The Dating Game, Family Feud, The Price is Right
I don't believe either Match Game or The Newlywed Game were shown, but they should have been.
'80s: Double Dare, Win, Lose or Draw (mentioned in a segment about the board game Pictionary)
'90s (Pt. 1): Who Wants to Be a Millionaire (1999).

No WOF or J!? Another oversight.

Actually, WOF was mentioned in I think 1986 on the first series.
