Game Shows
I'm 40 years old, so I have about 30 years of game show watching experience. I was trying to think of the absolute best and absolute worst game shows ever and decided on these:
Best - Match Game, Jeopardy Worst - Press Your Luck, Card Sharks (I'm sure there are worse, but those were the first that came to mind) What are your most and least favorite game shows?

Password. I saw a clip recently where Peter Lawford & Sammy Davis Jr. were contestants. Priceless!
Let's Make a Deal- in its original form. Do you have a hard boiled egg in your pocket? The Gong Show- Chuck Barris was on drugs for sure. Paul Rubens was a frequent contestant.

Most of them were actors. The inside joke of the prize amount- $512.and whatever cents- was that was actor's scale for a day's work.
Oingo Boingo also made a few appearances.

I never watched a lot of them, usually only if I was at my grand parents house and they were watching them.
One I remember that was always good for a laugh was The Newlywed Game. It was really funny when contestants took the questions out of context or way too literal. I hated Tic Tac Dough, although, I think that had a lot to do with Wink Martindale. Just not a fan.

It was a game show in Nickelodeon, but I always remember really loving this show, and wanting to go through the temple maze at the end
