Nighthawk Posted November 22, 2005 Report Posted November 22, 2005 I'd give that honor to Family Feud, myself, but Wheel is close. It's no wonder Ray Combs offed himself. Interestingly, the single best player I've ever seen on Feud (and that's my favorite one) was a thirteen year old kid on the Dawson version. He got everything.
Vern Gagne Posted November 22, 2005 Report Posted November 22, 2005 Wonder what Trebek and Sajak pull in money wise?
Guest Leelee Posted November 22, 2005 Report Posted November 22, 2005 I have to think Trebek gets more. He's such a snobby dick. And Sajak will always be riding Vanna's coattails.
The Czech Republic Posted November 22, 2005 Report Posted November 22, 2005 I'd give that honor to Family Feud, myself, but Wheel is close. It's no wonder Ray Combs offed himself. oh man, you're right. I've seen some clips of the best Family Feud answers where Richard Dawson just gives up and they have to stop the clock. "Name the month where pregnant women most often start to show." "September" "Name one of the three bears." "Yogi."
Guest Leelee Posted November 22, 2005 Report Posted November 22, 2005 WOF gets dumber contestants. Family Feud can be tough sometimes. Sometimes you don't know the topic. Sometimes they ask retarded questions. WOF is always easy, as long as you can spell.
Nighthawk Posted November 22, 2005 Report Posted November 22, 2005 My favorite Feud exchange (this was on the opening buzzer): "Name a question, such 'How old are you?', which a woman might answer with a lie." Conestant one: "30" He repeats the question, with emphasis. Contestant two: "18" Repeats question again, slowly, with more emphasis, goes to the next member of the family. Contestant 3: "I'd say... 50."
The Czech Republic Posted November 22, 2005 Report Posted November 22, 2005 "Name something to which you might lose your key." "...what?!?" "Name something to which you might lose your key!" "uh..mm..WHAT?!? Pass" "You have keys. Keys do things. If you lsoe them, you cannot use the thing the key is for." "Car?" part 2 "Name something to which you might lose your key." "...what?!?"
Vern Gagne Posted November 22, 2005 Report Posted November 22, 2005 Back in '01 when I first got GSN, I watched a Card Sharks marathon from the early 80's that featured Gene Rayburn, Alan Ludden, Bill Cullen and a young Alex Trebek as contestants. Alex Trebek pre-Jeopardy was pretty damn amusing, as he was very sarcastic and playfully antagonistic to the host and fellow contestants. A far cry from the smarmy Trebek we'd come to know. And why the hell did he shave his moustache? He looks so much better with it. First John Oates, then Alex Trebek, then Jeff Kent... what's wrong with the moustache?! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Reminds me of when SCTV did College Quiz show sketch, with Eugene Levy playing Alex Trebek. He acted like a hot-headed jackass. This would of been late 70's. So I wonder if Trebek had a reputation of being a dick?

Ted the Poster Posted November 23, 2005 Report Posted November 23, 2005 I just noticed Muggy has fucking OLMEC in his avatar. Nice.
Open the Muggy Gate Posted November 24, 2005 Report Posted November 24, 2005 I just noticed Muggy has fucking OLMEC in his avatar. Nice. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> That's twice now people have noticed. This one is a definite keeper. Legends of the Hidden Temple... God, I wish I could see that show again.
Fökai Posted November 24, 2005 Report Posted November 24, 2005 I hate how ridiculously vague the questions have become for the new version of the Feud. Like, they're so afraid of giving away money that you now have to be a fucking loon to correctly guess the top answer. "Name a girl's name that starts with the letter K". "Name a food that has nuts in it". "Name a sport that's played with a ball". "Survey says: 4. The top answer was Kristin...Kristin, yeah" and the contestant is like "Damn, I should've known that". The fuck, man.

Slayer Posted November 24, 2005 Report Posted November 24, 2005 Yes it is. GAS also features GUTS, which wasn't very exciting in itself but you can see Mike O'Malley before he became a tool on "Yes Dear"
Art Sandusky Posted November 24, 2005 Report Posted November 24, 2005 His British assistant was a fancy of mine as a wee one.
Giuseppe Zangara Posted November 24, 2005 Report Posted November 24, 2005 I attended a taping of GUTS when I was in middle school. During a break in taping, Moira Quirk could be seen listening a walkman and shaking her ass. My 13-year-old heart skipped a beat.
MillenniumMan831 Posted November 25, 2005 Report Posted November 25, 2005 Some ol lady named Mary Lou was just on TPIR playing "1 Right Price" . . . which one of these items are $1950? The popcorn popper or the couch? Ummmm, the popper. Is she right? No . . . *cue TPIR loser anthem* Barker: Oh, that's too bad. And you said you love popcorn too. *Mary Lou walks away* . . . Mary Lou! Mary Lou!! Let's give her . . . Mary Lou . . . here's a box of popcorn *hands her popcorn*. Gotta love Barker teasing her w/ the popper by just giving her a dinky box of popcorn. And she follows it up by falling on her ass spinning the big wheel . . . 70 cents.
Guest Duke_The_Dog Posted November 25, 2005 Report Posted November 25, 2005 I laughed out load twice during yesterday's PIR. There was a redneck woman who was about to lose her game and kept yammering on about her students so she could avoid pulling out the losing coin. Then later she pulled a similar stunt between big wheel spins.

I wish I had the Agro Crag in my backyard.
Hoff Posted December 9, 2005 Author Report Posted December 9, 2005 Weird. They no longer tell you to send a SASE to "Tickets" at The Price is Right. They now direct you to the CBS website, and click on "COME ON DOWN!" But given how much of their audience is old and/or poor, that seems kind of odd to me.
Hoff Posted December 9, 2005 Author Report Posted December 9, 2005 @#$% They're playing "Credit Card," a game where you have to buy three items out of an available five. Those three items cannot exceed $2000 total. Her first purchase? A FUCKING DAYBED. Come on. This show needs a god damn screening process.
Slayer Posted December 9, 2005 Report Posted December 9, 2005 This show needs a god damn screening process. Well, they don't want to give shit away ALL the time
Hoff Posted December 9, 2005 Author Report Posted December 9, 2005 A TV set (she purchased, a good buy at $600), some travel cooler (yeah...for like beer...CLEARLY a low priced item), and a couple other things I can't remember. I wasn't even paying that much attention, but I heard her say "THE BED!" and I knew trouble was afoot.
Hoff Posted December 9, 2005 Author Report Posted December 9, 2005 This show needs a god damn screening process. Well, they don't want to give shit away ALL the time I suppose that's true. Maybe she WAS the result of the screening process. Sweet Charlotte, the woman on stage is like 80. This oughta be good. I don't know why I watch this -- it HAS to be taking years off my life.
Black Lushus Posted December 9, 2005 Report Posted December 9, 2005 I've gotta think people just freeze up when they get up there...you have the audience shouting at them what they should bid, Barker's creepiness learing at them, they just go totally blank and make retarded decisions.

I don't know why I watch this -- it HAS to be taking years off my life. my grandmother watched this show religiously ever since it's inception...she died in 96 at age 68.
Hoff Posted December 9, 2005 Author Report Posted December 9, 2005 It's because they're fossils and their brains have long since stopped functioning. I hate old people so much.
Hoff Posted December 9, 2005 Author Report Posted December 9, 2005 It's because they're fossils and their brains have long since stopped functioning. I hate old people so much. Notice how I didn't mess up the word "they're" or "their." You all now have an example to follow. There/their/they're is just as bad as your/you're.
