The first game show to make my “favorites” list was Concentration. Wish they would bring that back. They brought back Family Feud to ABC in a celebrity format, Match Game, $100,000 Pyramid, and The Gong Show (what a wonderfully weird show that is — the secret is not to take it too seriously), so why not Concentration? The puzzle board can be a computerized video screen, similar to what they used when Alex Trebek hosted _Classic Concentration, 1987-91 on NBC. (Suggestion: if they do decide to revive the show, the bonus game should be the “Double Play” game they used during the fifth season of the syndicated version of Concentration. That’s where, in addition to solving 2 puzzles in 10 seconds total, you had to determine what you’d play for by calling numbers on a 9-digit board — it had four prizes, plus a “Wild Card”. Whatever you matched, that’s what you played for, and if you revealed the Wild Card, you played for everything you’d revealed up to that point.)

Nothing worse for trying to get a good night’s sleep is someone who has no volume control (either their own or the TV’S)!

They should have never replaced the mirror with a flat screen.

Isn’t Wheel on in most locales at 7 PM?

Those game shows are pretty addictive. Every once in a great while I’ll watch Jeopardy but that is it. It’s been a year since I saw it.

Before I was born, my mother reportedly sat bolt upright in bed and yelled “put down that gun!”
There’s talking in your sleep, and then there’s preventing anyone else from getting back to sleep for a lo-o-ong time!

Wheel Of Fortune is my favorite game show.

I forgot to include To Tell The Truth in my list of revived game shows.
