I remember liking 7 Keys but couldn't tell you what the premise was on that one anymore.

A couple I'm sure Chuck also remembers:

It Could Be You!

Yours for a Song (With Smilin' Bert Parks)

Does College Bowl count as a game show?

Locally we had "Oh My Word" hosted by Jim Lange, who was a local radio personality out of San Francisco as well as being Dating Game host. Produced by the local ABC affiliate (I think), it featured a panel of local and maybe some L.A. slebs/sophisticates providing their versions of "definitions" for a particular obscure word, and the contestant had to decide which definition was correct. It was fun with spontaneous joking around and aired late at night on the weekends off and on for several years, IIRC.

Also had some other local shows hosted by Allan Hammel, husband of Susanne Sommers, and one short-lived one hosted by the most smarmy media personality of the 20th century, Tom Campbell, another local DJ out of SF at the time. His show was "Super Bowling" and I never saw it. But I heard people had to do weird things like use a walnut instead of a bowling ball.

I didn't mean to send this thread somewhere else.

Is "Word for Word" up there yet? Gotta love that Merv. He nailed the game show psyche of the entire world.
 
I remember a few of them

I loved Hollywood Squares and Match Game. Every now and then I catch Match Game on the Game Show channel, that show can make me laugh so hard I'd cry.

I remember most of those. I also remember Stephanie Miller (my favorite radio personality) hosted an attempted remake of "I've Got a Secret".
 
"Second Chance" (the original "Press Your Luck" hosted by Jim Peck. Only the third pilot exists on grainy home video.)

"Split Second" (each question has at least three answers, points determined by the order in which the three contestants buzzed in to answer)
 
More Game Show Memories

Number Please? Anyone remember this show? It was the predecessor to Wheel of Fortune and other puzzle solving game shows. It aired January 31st, 1961 thru December 29th 1961 and it was hosted by Bud Collyer on ABC. We used to have the board game to this but I don't think we have it anymore. I don't remember the show at all since I was only 2 at the time!

How 'bout Three On A Match on NBC? Bill Cullen was the host and it ran from August 2nd 1971 thru June 28th, 1974.

Other than that I remember a lot of the ones listed above!

Weren't those the days?If time could stand still,I would have enjoyed hosting Either "Let's make a Deal"or "The Price is Right".With my last name being Diehl,Either one would work.I just visited a friend from church whom I found a GE TallTub dishwasher for at an auction for $100.After instalation and during its maden cycle,Diane,my friend George's wife,had me come into their living room and watch a video.She was on The price is Right back in 1983!!Johnny olsen was still the announcer and it was the hour long show with the wheel.She won a Whirlpool Quiet Wash dishwasher to ge up on syage,played punchboard winning only $50 then spun the big wjeel hitting $1 and winning $1000.Later,SHE WON THE SHOWCASE!!!As we watched,I was real good at playing and guessing prices to their amazement but during the presentation of the second showcase,I noticed the sofa and loveseat were THE EXACT ONE I WAS SITTING ON!!!And he tables,lamps,even the carpeting were the same!!As I showed my excitement and surprise,George and diane were hysterical seeing my eyes get big and my reaction to her winning.she even still has the Hoover upright that came in he Showcase.She bid $6000.the actual retail price of her Showcase was $6580.She was going to bid $6500(and would have won both showcases had she done that)but,knowing her competitor was way below her Showcase bid(she bid only $10,000 on a fifth wheeler that went for almost $30,000!)Diane was afraid she'd go over so she played it safe and won.After that,there was 3 minutes lef in he dishwashing cycle.We opened it to sparkling dishes!
 
I remember "Camouflage" but it's another one I where I can't remember the premise.

Another Bill Cullen show was "Eye Guess." I didn't care for that one too much.

I remember back in the mid-60's the lady across the street advised that Cullen was partially crippled. We kids couldn't believe it but after that I kept an eye out and noticed he never walked onto the stage, or if he did it was very few steps and he had a noticeable limp. Kind of progressive for TV producers back then, long before the ADA was on anyone's radar, to employ a disabled person as a host. I dare say it hasn't happened since.
 
I hope this wasn't a figment of my imagination...

But wasn't there a game show called "Musical Chairs" where people were in seats behind a console that was withdrawn back into the wall when they got wrong answers? Come to think of it, later MTV had a show like that with "Remote Control". Oh, and RC had what looked like a Kenmore dryer in the background, along with a water heater.
