Title: What game shows teped in Florida?
Post by: cmjb13 on December 24, 2003, 11:35:37 AM
Were there any besides the recent version of Beat the Clock and most of the Nickelodeon shows?

I understand why they taped there, but it never seemed to work (mostly so they could get an audience full of good looking tourists that were dying to come out of the hot weather for a while).

As if seeing good looking audience members would make people tune in.

Didn't THE HONEYMOON RACE tape in Miami?  After all, the Miami Beach audiences are the greatest audiences in the world.  I'm sure there were others.

Of course, you could also conceivably count SABADO GIGANTE (there's enough game elements there).

Treasure Isle taped at the Collonade Hotel in Palm Beach, and Peter Marshall's 1998 fiasco Reel to Reel taped at Universal in Orlando.

Let's Make a Deal '90 was taped at the Disney MGM Studios in Orlando, FL. There was also a Florida Lottery show called Flamingo Fortune.

I actually meant taped only in Florida, but I appreciate these answers.

How about The Reel-to-Reel Picture Show? That was taped at Universal Studios in Orlando, FL!

 That's My Dog! fits this category.  The first season taped at Universal Studios, then when Wil Shriner joined, production moved to the Disney-MGM lot.

 I consider Ameican Gladiators a game show, and they taped in Universal Studios Florida (and I really could give a flip if someone wants to argue otherwise).

 I thought they taped at Universal Studios in Hollywood. I know the dinner theater show is/was done out of Florida, but did they actually do a season of the TV show from there?

 I'm almost sure they did. I remember the Universal Studios neon sign during the intro. Also add Shop Til You Drop to the list, at least the last years of the Lifetime run.

The "adult" WLoD also did at least a week of shows from Disney-MGM during its 2nd season (88-89).

And while we're on the subject of Florida-based game shows, may as well name the obvious: Flamingo Fortune, the 95-99(?) state lottery GS.

 Small world. I live in Aventura, FL, not too far away. The new Diplomat is a beautiful hotel. I remember those Oranges and Water Skis very well. :-)

OMG, I forget that the Davidson Squares taped there. I used to frequent the Fountenbleau before English became the second language. The new Diplomat was still being built when I was in the area last year; I can't wait to see the new one. Back in the 80s the old Dip had doormen who would greet you with "Welcome to the home of the millionaires". I loved that!

So since you are apparently inches away, exactly where were those HS shows taped?

"STYD" was shot at Universal back in California.  It never moved east.

The only S-S studio game shot outside of LA was the immortal "Mall Masters at the Mall of America," shot in Bloomington, Minn.

Yep...also, just to clarify, TWLoD only taped its 1st season at Disney-MGM before moving to CBS Studio Center in LA for the last 2 (at which time Mark Walberg made his GS debut as announcer in the guise of "Jeff", host Marc Price's unseen "next-door neighbor").

 Cool...thanks for the clarification. Shows how much I really wanted to forget STYD. ;-)
