Whatever your spin on them, what are the most memorable gameshows for you & what catchphrases spring to mind?

Asked by ucme (50047points) August 26th, 2010

A genre packed to the rafters with examples. Worthy of an honourable mention or those dubious offerings that were more infamous than anything else. So yeah, gameshows from bygone years or perhaps they’re still around & any cheesy catchphrases that remain memorable for whatever reason.

@harple God I hated bloody Blockbusters, dweeb city. Now Bullseye that was a good show, despite the attempts of Mr. Bowen to ruin it. Radio station? I’m guessing they discussed this on a particular channel? If so, well there’s a happy coincidence ;¬}

The old Newly Wed show. The host, Bob Eubanks would say “making whoopie” for having sex. How the heck do I remember his name and can’t remember my dog’s name half the time?

Bob Eubanks: “What’s the strangest place you’ve ever made whoopee?”

Female constestant: “In the ass”.

I thought that was the famous clip @harple was referring to.

I loved the old ‘Lets make a deal’ as a kid in the 60’s.

‘And what will it be, door number one, door number two, or door number three?’

I always wanted the gag prizes like farm animals, donkeys and such. hahaha

I’d also have been a great contestant for Bob Barkers audience searches for random items in womens purses.

I KNOW I would win that, I have everything from wine openers to Frontline flea treatment to a jar of garlic. lol
