The *worst* Game Show Ever

[gwarman2005]

Love Me, Love Me Not has got to be the worst I've seen.  Any show with a bonus round centered around a daisy is an instant channel changer.

Oh, but what a draw that theme music was. While a guest on The Larry King Show in the late 1980s on the Mutual Radio Network, LMLMN host Ross Shafer (on the program to plug The Late Show on FOX) said that when the audience for the first show of LMLMN heard the theme song, they began to burst with laughter.
Say, what's Marilyn Smith doing these days?

"WehaveatieasyouknowthestrongestlinkgetstocastthedecidingvotethatsyouSteve" was hard for the average viewer to understand.

And the story was that they wanted to give Gray more time to work over the contestants.

And as stated before, the current "Thousand Dollar Bee" over on Black Family Channel has to be the worst game shows of this time, if not all time.  If I can't even bring myself to watch a full half-hour of it (and I watched more than one "Card Guppies" all the way through)...

Worst show I've ever seen: The Chamber. I shut off my television after ten minutes angrily.

You're in the Picture wasn't as bad as it was pointless. There was nothing at stake and Gleason, as host, wasn't much help.

Who can blame them? It sounded like something out of an old romantic movie, not a fast-paced GS theme one would typically associate w/the mid-80s.

Nobody's mentioned Queen for a Day yet?

Did The Real Blake Emmons Show ever make it to air or was that just a pilot?

[saussage]

Worst game show. Hmmmm. Well Btb86 was only one that I read about. I agree with Card Sharks 01.

"The Last Word" with Wink Martindale. Worst? Problably not. Boring? Well somebody could make a case for it

I guess this thread doesn't include pilot eps otherwise "Dollar a Second" would be right up there.

  I agree with Alonzo's assessment of the Chamber (what a train wreck that was). Had Fox and ABC (The Chair) hadn't gone full throttle with their oneupmanship with getting  the torture games of 2002 on the air first, they might have lasted longer than they did.

The worst game I've ever read about is "Winning Streak."  Bill having to look "hip," confusing gameplay everywhere... even Don Pardo seemed unenthusiastic.

I'd like some consideration given to RODEO DRIVE.  Bad show, worse host (DuArt's impressions are lame enough as it is).

Rodeo Drive wasn't THAT bad. The first round echoed Talkabout, except that a player had to say one key word instead of 10. The second round was a rapid fire true/false round.

I'll agree that Louise DuArt's impressions didn't fit, but other than that, I thought she did a decent job hosting.

The most redeeming part of Rodeo Drive is the bonus round, which many say is reminiscent of the Gauntlet of Villains.

I saw this show today.  I want that half hour of my life back.  It's worse than Malcolm.  It's worse than The Million Dollar Word Game.  The $1000 mentioned in the title goes to the season winner.  As far as I can tell, everybody else gets nothing.

It's a spelling/word game with six grade school-aged students.  The host is abysmal, the theme is even more redundant and annoying than the Tic Tac Dough theme in 1990, and the set looks like something made by a 5th grade stage crew.
