Game Shows

Why are game shows so addicting?

I blame my obsession on the Game Show Network (now GSN)when I was in college. My addiction started as I was channel surfing at 1:00 or so in the morning. Yes, I know what you are all thinking, I was such the party animal! I think it was also combined with the fact I could stay up however long I wanted and my dad wouldn't come and find me watching tv at odd hours of the night and yell at me to go to bed. Hey, if I am not tired what is the point of sleeping then, right? I may have some form of insomnia...which reminds me I have that Stephen King book called Insomnia. I haven't finished a book in a while maybe I should start reading that one? Although that may make me more of an insomniac. Since it would keep me up at night thinking about some weird scary person in the book attacking me. As a result, I would have to find room in the freezer like I did with The Shining...

Anyway, let me get back on track.

So, it was early in the morning and I stopped on the Game Show Network where I found my two absolute favorite black and white classic game shows and hosts as well.

Without further ado, here are my top 3 Game Shows and their hosts!

1) Password - the original 1960's version hosted by Allen Ludden. Ludden was an awesome host and he was even awesomer by the fact that he was married to Betty White. And, if you're a fan, you know it isn't Password without Betty White! Unfortunately, there are no video clips, that I can find, of the original Password, so here is a clip of one of the updated versions, called Password Plus, which was also hosted by Allen Ludden:



Can't wait to see what they do with Million Dollar Password! Though I am not sure about Regis as the host.

2) What's My Line? - the classy game show in which the dignified John Daly hosted a panel of celebrities who guessed people's occupations through a series of questions they asked. They would also have a Mystery Guest come on where the panel would be blind-folded and see if they could guess who the person was. Here is part of an episode with Barbara Streisand as the Mystery Guest:

And here is a funny clip of Groucho Marx as part of the celebrity panel:




3) Match Game - the 70's version which was hosted by Gene Rayburn, one of the funniest hosts I have ever seen. The antics on this show, especially from regulars like Brett Somers and Charles Nelson Reilly, always made me laugh and the questions were awesomely ridiculous!



I could mention so many more but these are my top favorites.

Are you a fan of Game Shows? Which ones?

Garth Videos

I felt like I needed a new blog, but really had nothing to put up. So, I decided to put up two music videos by Garth Brooks. They are the two songs I mentioned that had some of my favorite lyrics in Swishy's Blog where she wrote about some of her favorite lyrics down.

Standing Outside the Fire:



Friends In Low Places


This is a long one because it has the extra lyrics, which is my favorite part of the song :).

I so wanted to go to a Garth concert!

Ross, Will You Be My BFF?

Some of my favorite Ross the Intern moments from "The Tonight Show with Jay Leno":


Love that he is not afraid to sing an *NSYNC song to Joey Fatone.


It makes me laugh when they point out Sandra Bullock is talking to Ross.


All I need to say is Pineapple! Pineapple! Pineapple!
