[quote name=\'TimK2003\' post=\'181780\' date=\'Mar 17 2008, 11:06 PM\']For the 2nd G-T game, I'd love to see a compilation of TTTT games (not necessarily full episodes) featuring the actual person or imposters  before they became household names.[/quote]
Just guessing, but it seems like they'd probably go to What's My Line? before they went to To Tell The Truth (and maybe even before Password).  You've got huge, promotable star power in the mystery guests, even though they're definitely from a different era.

Wonder if they'll surprise us w/one of the few existing 71-74 eps for the Password release...

There were some great Password guests, though, and they were on the whole show. Jimmy Stewart, Lauren Bacall, Lucy, Sammy. With luck, we'll see all three shows. And with a whole heapin' lot of luck, the compilations will be well chosen and well done.

The other thing is that the non-Fremantle shows mentioned are all owned by companies that have their own home video divisions.  I'm not convinced that Sony is interested in putting out a game show DVD that doesn't have Ken Jennings on it.  And if Warners doesn't even have "Love Connection" on the AOL video site In2TV, why would they want to release it on DVD?

And a "Hollywood Squares" DVD is possible, but MGM might have to run it past CBS Distribution to get permission to use the show's title, which CBSD owns.

Keep in mind the person who suggested those two shows has a history for posting ridiculously asinine comment, so consistently that I'm convinced he does it for attention.

Actually, that looked more like sarcasm to me....

Just a note: on the electric sign in front of Menards last night, it said "Studs for sale." So  those frickers must have a DVD.

No, Menards is running a male prostitution ring.  :)

Face it--that guy who used to do their commercials could've secretly been a pimp on the side.

And all of us in the Midwest can sing that jingle.

And if their in-house TV ad department is still using a Video Toaster for their graphics, God bless them...

"Great" is a rather glaring overstatement.

And I'm not sure the breed is dying--there are those two dingalings for Watson's spas, for example. And Narzo, you're in Minnesota, right? There's Denny Hecker, so busy saving us money on cars that he does his radio spots via cell phone, audio clarity be damned.

And in how many markets can you find Tom Park helping sell cars?  He's here in Omaha ("H&H Chevrolet, where it's fast, fun and friendly") then also in upstate New York ("Fuccillo Auto Mall").
