What was the first game show you could have seen?

I was born on a Thursday in 1960 at 8:30am, so \"Dough Re Mi\" was it for me.

Let's Make a Deal was the first show to air on Buzzr. 6/1/15 8PM.

I'm not going to go checking the details, but August 8th, 1988 @ 12:04 AM in the UK means 5:04 PM over here but that would be a Sunday so...Blackout/Card Sharks/$25k Pyramid. One of those.

I was born at 9:30 A.M. on Sunday, September 22, 1974, in Gainesville, Florida.  Although I have four, soon to be five, copies of the TV Guide for that week, I don't have the local edition covering Gainesville, so I'm not sure if any of the locally available TV stations aired any syndicated game shows on Sunday.

So a little over 24 hours later, the first two shows on Monday were TJW on CBS and the Dennis James \"Name That Tune\" on NBC.

I was born at 6:45 PM on 8-27-86, so, more than likely, the first one I could have seen would have been WoF.

 6/14/81 was a SUnday, so I guess its whatever network or Syndie show would air on Monday morning. Las Vegas Gambit aired on NBC at 10AM Eastern at the time, which was the earliest scheduled daytime GS.

 10/27/85 was a Sunday as well, so it's whatever Syndie or Network game show aired first on Monday AM. $25K Pyramid and Your Number's Up aired at 10AM EST on CBS and NBC respectively at the time.

I was born on November 28, 1971, which was also a Sunday. Anyone have any ideas?

I am not good at older TV schedules.

Somebody else here shares my birthday!  (Although I'm nine years older.  I have no idea what game shows aired in June 1972.)

a) Steffi Graf
b) Boy George
c) Paul McCartney
d) Donald Trump

I was born late Saturday night June 11, 1960, so on Sunday afternoon I watched Allen Ludden host G.E. College Bowl, where Rutgers beat Mills 265 to 40.  That evening, Van Johnson was the Mystery Guest on What's My Line?

I remember them both well.

I believe it would be Concentration starring Bob Clayton.
