I believe it was Bill Cullen-I saw a VERY early episode of the Price is Right and it wasn't even the same game.

YEP!! Congratulations Cat!! I thought that may have been a toughie :-\\. I always liked Bill Cullen, with his warm and kind demeanor, telescopic eyeglasses, and ever present cigarette! (He did die of lung cancer, though- but he made it to 70)

I loved Name That Tune.
Does anyone remember "Split Second" or "Musical Chairs"?

I remember Split Second with Tom Kennedy but I don't remember Musical Chairs.

How about "Tattle Tales" with Bert Convy? I haven't seen this show in a long time, but if I remember right it was somewhat similar to "The Newlywed Game," except that they had celebrity husband-and-wife teams. I don't remember how risque the dialogue got (I imagine it got fairly racy from time to time since it was the 70's after all), but the one thing I do recall is how, after the host asked the husbands a question (and vice versa), the wives (who were offstage in another room) would pop up on these TV screens underneath their husbands and they'd be wearing these huge air traffic controller headphones.

My all time favorite was Beat the Clock...that was 70s, right? I was very young.
We had the home version and I played it all the time.
Great show.
Who was the host?

I remember the 90's version of it.  I could never keep a straight face sitting in that chair in the bonus round.  I'd crack up laughing

Gene Wood...I know that he was an announcer for many game shows over the years.

I always looked forward to hear him saying ... "This is Gene Wood, speaking for Family Feud, a Mark Goodson Television Production"

I forget what network used to air the reruns of this show back in the 80's (USA Network?) but I remember seeing one episode where the celebrity panelist (that the comics had to try and make laugh) was none other than Frank Zappa. It was funny, because the comics (actually, Gallagher was the second one) were doing all they could to get Zappa to laugh, and FZ just sat there and glared at them with this "you're an idiot" scowl on his face, although Gallagher managed to get a slight smile out of him.

I seem to remember a closing quote that was "A Mark Goodson / Bill Toddman Production"  This may have been from earlier shows??

you beat me to it..I was going to mention Bill Toddman...
maybe they met later? earlier?

I think so... "A Mark Goodson/Bill Toddman production" was probably from the early years of Family Feud, as I've seen on GSN.

I've never watched the Gong Show, but I do see your point.

Gong Show is definately a game show.  Chuck Barris is a Game Show legend

I remember watching re-runs of The Gong Show in the very early 80s

I liked the original with Richard Dawson.

I liked Hollywood Squares with Peter Marshall and so wish I could find some of those shows with Donny & Marie when they were on...any ideas?? :)

I highly suggest checking out YouTube or Dailymotion and entering "Hollywood Squares" or "osmond game show" (not the 2000's Pyramid revival) and searching from there.

Thanks to the launch of BUZZR, some of these shows have made a return, including Match Game with Gene Rayburn (still on GSN), Dawson Family Feud (although they're airing 1980 episodes currently, but close enough to the '70s), Beat the Clock (Kennedy version), Tattletales, Double Dare (NO, not the Nickelodeon version, but rather an early Alex Trebek-hosted show that I really enjoy if they stop airing the same ten episodes over and over), and even an occasional He Said, She Said from the late '60s/early '70s (a prelude to Tattletales).

I did too. He was a regular panelist on Gene Rayburn's Match Game, even after he began Family Feud.

Yeah, I like that channel and all the old shows on it. They also have Card Sharks hosted by the late Jim Perry, which I believe began its run in the late 1970s.

I like that channel, it's like going back in a time machine.

1. Jokers Wild
2. Sale of the Century
3. To Tell The Truth
4. Card Sharks
5. 10/20,000 Pyramid
6. The Price Is Right

They even have a Saturday night feature called the "BUZZR Time Machine", in which they show a marathon of episodes from the same game show, usually from the 70s or 80s.
