Here's some more of the "Best & Worst":

Host:

BEST: Bill Cullen, Bob Barker, Marc Summers, all the legends. They defined the term "game show".

WORST: Patrick Wayne (thank God I remembered to turn the mute on when I saw his episodes so that I wouldn't have to hear him yelling "YOU'RE RIIIIIIIIIIIIIIGHT!", or "YOU BLOOOOOOOOOOOOOCK!", or "YOU WIIIIIIIIIIIIIIN!")

Set:

BEST: Classic Concentration. It has one of the most flashy sets ever, and those palm trees are cute to add.

WORST: Shop 'Til You Drop '03. That looks like it took place in Costco!

Announcer:

BEST: Johnny Olson, Gene Wood, Johnny Gilbert, Charlie O'Donnell, all the legends.

WORST: Daniel Rosen. He sounds like an overly-peppy version of Burton Richardson.

Contestant:

BEST: Michael Larson, Thom McKee, Virginia from the Aussie $otC, and all the millionaires from "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire". They were geniuses. Pure geniuses. I'd give an honorable mention to Trevor Sauer from the Aussie WWtBaM after reading about him.

WORST: Nana Joy from the Aussie TPiR (who the f**k would think $745 is between $31,600 and $31,700?! Or is it because she's too old?). Dishonorable mention: Tom from WoF in 2001. Why he would go from low-key to overly-hyper after winning a new car in the bonus round is beyond me. I'd also add "Dr. Obnoxious" himself, Kurt Warkenthien, to the list, because of what he was on WWtBaM in 2000.

Share your ideas here. And no, I am not reviving another forum. This is seperate.

This has been said before, but sometimes when you are on television, with millions of people watching at home and in the audience, sometimes your brain goes to mush, to where you can't think straight. This has been seen on many shows over the years, from Price, to Family Feud, to Wheel of Fortune etc.

As for your other person, maybe because he was excited?

That could be it. That could be the reason why ol' Reege called Kurt "Dr. Obnoxious".

I was speaking about Tom on Wheel of Fortune

Oh... now I get it. It could be because he was excited.

Marc Summers? I mean, he's a nice, bright guy and ran his shows well, but I can't put him in the same group with Cullen and Barker.

gshowguy · « **Reply #6 on:** August 24, 2004, 09:13:29 AM »

Well, at least I could.

Well, apparently, you could do a lot of things that the rest of us don't agree with.

You'd put Laurie Faso in there, too.

gshowguy · « **Reply #9 on:** August 24, 2004, 09:37:46 AM »

Why would I put him in here? He only hosted "I'm Telling!" for just a year. So the answer to your question is no.

Don probably was recalling MY putting Laurie Faso on a pedestal in 1996-97 upon our talks of less-than-stellar shows and hosts which I'm Telling and LF both were.

Personally, I think his career went downhill after "Marlo and the Magic Movie Machine."

Yes, because we all study and memorize EVERY SINGLE post you make, in case we want to "recall" it later.

Jesus, Zach, get the hell over yourself. More often than not we try to FORGET that you post, much less remember them for later.
