Some of us remember when Click aired weekends mornings on GSN in 1999, and got replaced by the 70s run of Now You See It. Two weekends after NYSI debuted, it was realized that GSN was still under contract to air Click when it was dropped, so goodbye NYSI, hello Click again.

I disagree.  The format was mooched from "Reach for the Stars," and more recently the "Reach for a Star" final round of "Ruckus."  Seeing as Ruckus and Click were both Merv productions, it's not a surprise, but "Click" certainly wasn't something we hadn't seen before, in terms of format.

As for the topic of the post, I didn't think Blackout was that bad.

I have to say that "BZZZZ!" makes my list, too.  Great pacing and let's face it--the instant rejection possibility was a great idea.  And Annie Wood was actually a pretty good host for this kind of show and kept the energy level up that made the show light and fun and not mean.  (And there were other things about her, too.)  As something to run with "Love Connection," I wouldn't complain if GSN ran it--there are much worse relationship shows they could air.

Wow, what a great response to this.  I never expected it to be this popular.

I have to add one more to the list...... Your Number's Up.  Basic game with a gimicky eggcrate flashing wheel.  The only reason it ranks up there is the home viewer addiction.  I remember watching it when I was young, I kept my eyes glued on those last 4 numbers.  It was very fan friendly and that's half the battle..... too bad they lost the other half, lol.

Sex Wars - fun blend of traditional game elements in a "battle of ther sexes" format, and the hosts did a fine job of playing off each other. I know J.D. hated the show, but he did his job like a pro. He had us believing he was having fun.

I'm sorry... but wow, was that show awful.  The chemistry between the two hosts was forced, the show itself was too loud, and I had enough when one of the teams won a whopping $50 to split among them.
