Sorry to get all Zachish, but several volumes of Groucho's You Bet Your Life have been released on DVD, as well as other compilations and individual episodes here and there, plus the back catalog of nostalgia video dealers like Shokus.  So this is far from the first game show to be available on DVD, even if you don't count the various reality games.

This has been another installment of Matt Ottinger's Masters of the Obvious.
Stay tuned for all the obsessive-compulsive fun of Words Have Meanings.

The Netflix page lists Davina McCall as a cast member.  She hosted the original British version of the show, so may we assume that there are clips from that version on the DVD?

(McCall's best known in the UK as the host of their version of "Big Brother"--she also did the first season of "The Vault" before replaced by the inferior, by all reports, Melanie Sykes, best known as the Kelly to Des O'Connor's Regis on daytime TV in the UK.)
