Let's Go Back
« on: March 13, 2005, 04:04:33 AM »
Hey everyone,

I don't have the channel, but a friend put 3 episodes of Let's Go Back on DVD for me from Goodlife TV, which has now turned into some other channel.

The show is from 1992...has anyone seen it?  The cheesiest game show out there.  Grand prize is $500.

Game play is Jeopardy.  Game board, a "Time Capsule" square while is basically like a Daily Double without risk.

Just wondering how long the show was on for originally in first run and how many episodes were actually done.

Thanks,
Adam

According the the Encyclopedia of TV Game Shows (acronyms drive me crazy) it ran on the Nonstalgia channel (whatever that was) from '91 - '93, although I imagine that may not reflect the number of episodes made.

The series appears to be the baby of producer Scott Sternberg, who served as the host. The announcer was familiar, Charilie O'Donnell and the director was Mark Corwin, also from 'Wheel of Fortune.'

Nostalgia = Goodlife = AmericanLife.

The channel's gone through a couple of rebrandings since the original airings, but it's still the same actual NETWORK as Nostalgia.

No, he doesn't.  He once asked me to scan every photo in mine and email them to him.

Mr. Wurtzel: buy the book.  You'll be happier, as will everyone else.

I see. I have never had it. There are indeed cable networks that have fared a lot worse than GSN has over the last 10 years.

When I had Goodlife on my cable system, it was a pretty decent channel, especially for reruns you probably wouldn't see anywhere else, like "Hawaiian Eye" or "The FBI". Unfortunately, a couple of years back, my cable system moved it from analog to digital, so I haven't seen it since (and our family refused to upgrade).

  • Just leave the set; that’d be terrific.
