And
Match Game was succeeded at No. 1 by
Family Feud.
But that error calling the Showcase the "Showcase Showdown" really irks me every time I see it. I am reminded of a college professor many moons ago who was a big
Jeopardy fan (fine) and dismissed
The Price is Right as "crap" (heresy, sacrelige). He was droning on and on about how he didn't get why
TPiR was so popular, and said (exact quote, I'll never forget it):
"What is it they do with that big wheel....Wheelies?"
The whole class, in unison, said
"WHEELIES?"And he was a journalism professor at that. Hope he did more research into his writing than he did when forming his opinion of game shows.
