Subject: FUN HOUSE

Written By: namilliron on 02/02/15 at 8:18 pm

I would LOVE to see Fun House on GSN as part of a Saturday Morning kids game show block which I don't see happening, ever.

Yeah...it seems GSN has pretty much ditched the older shows, which is kinda sad... but I would love to see the reruns of Fun House again; I loved that show!!

They got rid of the game shows we used to grow up with.

He is now a CEO of a television production company.

Looking up Fun House on wiki, I discovered that it was originally a British series.

I wonder if we can still see any clips of it on Youtube? A few years back I actually was able to watch a full episode on there; too bad the picture was not remastered. (However, I could still tell what was going on.)

Actually, there was a British series based on the American series. It apparently had a similar logo.

I am looking at the Wiki page for the American series; it began in 1988, while the British series began less than a year later, in early 1989. Later in '89, however, a short-lived spinoff series entitled "College Mad House" utilized the same stage set as the U.S. Fun House, and had a similar format; only the props were college-life oriented rather than geared toward kids.

Yes, some episodes can be seen on there. In fact, I just watched a clip from 1989 on Youtube last night.

There's going to be a second game show channel launching called Buzzr TV in August, but its mostly going to consist of Mark Goodson shows (sorry, no Price is Right at its launch) and Let's Make a Deal. I never really watched Fun House as a kid as I may have been a little too young and it didn't rerun well into the '90s like some other shows from that time did. Watching it, while I don't think it's a great as Double Dare, I like it more than Finder's Keepers and is much better than Think Fast.

I knew that.  I watch Bar Rescue and Catch A Contractor all the time on Spike TV and you see his name in the credits
