“Cool a new game show!” but it’s not a game show

I remember seeing "Let's Make a Deal" in my local paper's TV listings, but it turned out to be an infomercial for the LMAD telephone game.

Something came to mind earlier today...in the mid-90s, A&E had a show called Time Machine. Basically a documentary profiling historic events. I remember tuning in and being a little disappointed that John Davidson wasn't asking contestants questions about history.

I know that sounds odd, given how boring the show was but at that age there weren't too many game shows I wouldn't have watched.

There was a show around 1970  called "The Most Deadly Game."
