TV Poll: What Game Show Would You Revive?
In the Things You Weren't Aware You Wanted From TV Dept. this morning: CBS is reviving the game show Password, hosted by Regis Philbin. The new show will be known as Million-Dollar Password, that now being the official sum of primetime reality/game shows and Dr. Evil. (Actually, it's been the industry standard since around 1999 when Philbin was hosting Who Wants to be a Millionaire. Even on TV games, Americans have not gotten a raise since the Clinton Administration.)
I have faint memories of watching the 1970s Alan Ludden version as a grade-school kid, but I can't say I'm a big fan. Still, the back catalog of daytime game shows begging to be made into primetime summer fodder is vast. Which would you pick?
Me, I want myself some High Rollers. For your listening pleasure, the theme song, plus some choice stills of Alex Trebek looking like the star of a '70s cop show:
