Women in Game Shows

Women have been involved in game shows over the years in a variety of ways. Sometimes they've been purely a pretty face (and legs), while in other shows they've managed to make a name for themselves as hosts and more. But whether they're holding suitcases or flipping tiles, these women are often iconic for their roles in the shows. Let's look back at these ladies who've been involved in game Read more

Buzz In: What's Your Favorite Game Show of All Time?

While we've been busy trying to tackle all the awesome new series of the Fall, the networks are still adding fresh shows to their slates. NBC's most recent pickup is a new game show called Perfect 10, where contestants are challenged to quickly finish regular household chores for a chance to win a million dollars. Sounds simple enough, but so did Are you Smarter than a Fifth Grader. Between Read more

Buzz In: What Are Your All-Time Favorite Game Shows?

Get ready for another round of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire! ABC is officially reviving the franchise to celebrate its 10th anniversary in August as rumored, with original host Regis Philbin back in the chair. The show will air for 11 nights, starting Aug. 9. That show's return got me thinking about other game shows I've loved in the past. While I'm not the biggest Millionaire fan these days, Read more

Love It or Leave It: Hole in the Wall

When Fox's Hole in the Wall was first announced, I did my fair share of making fun of it. People dressed in spandex attempting to fit through little spaces? We're really going to use up valuable television space on that? And then, well, the first promo aired. And I laughed really hard. It's not that I suddenly thought that it was going to be a quality show, but it would be fun to watch once. Read more

Will You Be Watching Any of Tonight's Wacky Game Shows?

Tonight's a big night for game shows: Three new ones are premiering, two on ABC and one on NBC, all with different levels of zaniness. NBC's entry, Celebrity Family Feud, is the most recognizable of the three, as it's the latest in a long series of Family Feud updates. Tonight's show pits Ice T vs. the Rivers clan and Raven-Symone's folks against Wayne Newton's. I'm holding out for The Office vs. Read more

Game Show Bloopers

Remember the game show contestants who scored big thanks to dumb luck? Well, factor out the luck and all we had was a whole bunch of dumb — which is the case with the following vid. The contestants below were under cruel time constraints, so their thinking was probably rushed and compromised. But whatever. We'll still laugh, ridicule, and make fun of them anyway cuz Alabama is definitely not a Read more

The Best Children's Game Shows of the '80s and '90s

Ever want to "grab a piece of that glowing rock"? Or "take the physical challenge"? Some of my fondest TV memories from the late '80s and early '90s come from the spate of kiddie game shows that filled many of Nickelodeon's programming hours and even helped launch Fox. With game shows making a surge on TV, I wanted to take a look back at some of the competitions I remember so fondly from my Read more

Thom Yorke Acts Weird on a Game Show

And I love him for it. This spectacularly talented and weird front man for Radiohead appeared on a game show in England and asked the panel a question about the band's most recent release, In Rainbows. He wanted to know what was special about it? You, Thom, you! Read more

Teens Says F-Word on Jeopardy!

. . . before some teen dropped the f-bomb on Jeopardy! Clearly, this contestant should brush up on his Star Wars trivia with this girl. When he misses an easy question about Queen Amadala, he swears casually and quite audibly. Really, I'm surprised this doesn't happen more often. Read more

TV Tonight: The Moment of Truth

The previews for The Moment of Truth, the new Fox series that premieres tonight after American Idol, have been making me squirm — and I think that means they're doing their job. The series features contestants hooked up to lie detectors while being asked personal, potentially humiliating questions — "Do fat people repulse you?" and "Would you ever cheat on your wife?" among them. Answering Read more
