	Price is Right is number four? Lame. That show is easily ahead of Family Feud. ~~I can't believe Bob Barker is still alive.~~ (Reply to this)(Thread)

I dunno; it was Family Feud that finally forced my mother to have the birds and bees talk with me. This is how this occurred:

Ray Combs: "Name something you do to get money quick."
Empty-headed Female Contestant: "Prostitution!"
[Prostitution turns out to be the number-three answer.]
Little-kid me: "Mom, what's prostitution?"
My mom: "It's when someone sells sex for money."
Little-kid me: "Oh."
[an awkward moment passes]
Little-kid me: "Mom, what's sex?"
My mom: *facepalm*

But sentimentalism aside, I agree that Price is Right should be higher.

	I don't know which is funnier, the mental image of the scenario, or the fact that prostitution was so high (or on the list at all). (Reply to this)(Parent)

	I don't really watch game shows, but "Family Feud" does bring giggly fun. I especially like that there seems to have been a contestant with a weird fear of squirrels on once: Q: Something that makes you scream A: A squirrel Q: Something some people fear that starts with the letter S A: Squirrels (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	That sounds like Amy The Shadow from Blackadder. Now I have the image of the Blackadder crew on Family Feud, facing down, oh I don't know, the AbFab crew? :-) (Reply to this)(Parent)

	I'm kind of curious to see if the fact that GSN is losing the leasing rights to Jeopardy! ever came up during the discussion, but I'm not trudging through 152 pages (and counting) to find out. I'd take Jeopardy! over Match Game any day personally, though. (Reply to this)

Blapsphemy, sez I! Last surviving member of the network, daytime, and hour-long game shows - it deserves it's own goddamn list!

Here's the list itself:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/50_Greatest_Game_Shows_of_All_Time_(GSN)

Hell, I could wank on several list related topics : Who Wants To Be A Millionare is Top 10? The original Press Your Luck isn't? Tic Tac Dough is 34? No Double Dare? No </i>American Gladiators</i> No Fear Factor? Not to mention the suspcious presence of several GSN-produced shows on the list.

	NO WAY. I watched that show EVERY SINGLE DAY and wanted to be on it, just so I could run through supermarket aisles and toss shit into a cart for fun. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	When that was over, Rip announced the $1.98 Beauty of the Week (sometimes the ugliest). She would get a tacky plastic crown, rotten vegetables as a bouquet and $1.98. BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! (Reply to this)
