Besides " Wheel of Fortune ", " Jeopardy! ", " The Price Is Right ", " Family Feud ", " Hollywood Squares ", and
" Win, Lose, or Draw ", what other game shows have gone " on the road " and taped episodes from remote locations?
Thanks,

60's Supermarket Sweep... I don't think they have a "home", but moved arcoss the country.

"You Don't Say" did some shows from Cypress Gardens. CBS "Password" and "$10,000 Pyramid" traveled from NYC to LA for special weeks, but you couldn't really tell until they mentioned it.

Syndicated Millionaire did weeks from Walt Disney World's "Play IT" attraction.

The final syndie season (1976-77) originated from Las Vegas, so I wouldn't necessarily count that as "going on remote."

...unless you're technically oriented (different studio acoustics for the "Password" eps).
"What's My Line" and "I've Got a Secret" also traveled during the 50s. I think WML's remote came from L.A., with a totally different panel; and "Secret" did a show in Vegas (and IIRC, one from L.A., on the same West Coast swing).

Might have been "mentioned" (http://\"http://quotation-marks.blogspot.com/\") before...
(And yes, I'm aware that they're technically NOT unnecessary in the original post, however those extra spaces and wrong comma placements drive me "nuts.")
ObGameShow: While it's been mentioned, I believe the weekend airings of Combs Feud are the episodes from Opryland, which I remember watching vividly when I was younger. "Wow, the board is all electronic, no way!"

"IGAS" also did a show from Cypress Gardens in Florida in its original run.
And the original "Supermarket Sweep" did originate from a different supermarket every week. The show it morphed into, "Honeymoon Race," originated at the same Florida mall.
And "Born Lucky" originated from the Sherman Oaks Galleria center court, IIRC.

Born Lucky was done at a few malls in Southern CA, one of which was the Glendale Galleria. (Why do I remember this crap from 15 years ago?)

Perhaps I thought Sherman Oaks because it's referred to in Moon Zappa's song "Valley Girl" and shown in the movie of the same name, like fer sure.

I object to having perfectly valid comma placements lumped in with the rest of that. :-P
(Yeah, American style books disagree. But I don't like quoting things that weren't part of the source of the quote.)

Deal or No Deal did one segment of an episode from some lady's front lawn.
Would it have killed them to do the whole episode from there?

I wonder how many of these actually added enjoyment for the home viewer as opposed to being an annoying contrivance. I have seen the "What's My Line" Hollywood appearance, and that was cool because, as was said, the panel was totally different. Jack Lemmon was in Cerf's chair for one thing. But TPIR in Vegas? Big deal.
"Win Ben Stein's Money" did do a week at the beach. Maybe they had bikini babes to make it worthwhile.

Besides WBSM, I recall special "Spring Break," editions of MTV's Remote Control, as well as Singled Out, airing from Florida, set on the beach.
I may/may not have mentioned somewhere here on the forum sometime ago, that Bob Barker's Truth or Consequences sometimes went on the road, and was either produced in large theaters, or sometimes even in outdoor settings. Back in 1968, my late grandmother wanted to surprise me with tickets to see TORC when it came to Detroit for a week's worth of tapings. She managed to get tickets to see the show, but my late father wouldn't let us go, fearing our safety, since there was a massive riot in Detroit the year before. My cousins ended up going to see the show instead.

You're right about T or C going on the road. I remember when WJW-TV 8 had a 25th Anniversary special in the 70's, they showed the opening clip from that show (a shot of the Terminal Tower from Public Square) saying, "Hello Cleveland! We've been waiting for you".
And wasn't the Saturday night game show, "Almost Anything Goes" with Regis Philbin in a different locale/high school stadium each week as well?

Not only did Remote Control did Spring Break eps. from Florida, but they did one episode at a fans house celebrating MTV at your house.

"AAG" did indeed originate from the small town stadium of one of the competing towns each week (similar, I assume, to its model, "It's a Knockout").
"T or C"'s last road trip was to Seattle in 1973, I believe. Barker had an illness that didn't allow him to come up (this was when Dennis James filled in for him on "TPIR") and Ralph Edwards himself filled in.
