2016 YouTube Game Show Wish List

[walker7]

Welcome to 2016. As always, what game shows would you like to see episodes of this year? Remember, for all shows I list, I hope to see episodes that have not yet been posted. Now, without further ado, here's my wishlist:

Scrabble
Card Sharks (mainly episodes from 1987-1989)
High Rollers (1987-1988)
Pictionary (1997-1998; especially 1998 episodes)
Triple Threat (either version)
Jackpot! (1985-1988)
The $1,000,000 Chance of a Lifetime
Anything for Money
Catch Phrase (1985-1986)
Blackout
Caesars Challenge
Wordplay
Wheel of Fortune (especially '80s episodes; in this case, it is probably better for them to be posted on Dailymotion)
That's My Dog (anything, but especially episodes with the 100-second decathalon)
Ultimate Fan League
Split Second (1986-1987)
Quicksilver & Free 4 All


And hopefully, those episodes that Patrick uncovered in August 2014 will get uploaded soon. From what I know, there's Blackout (weeks 3-9), Scrabble (first 6 weeks), The $1,000,000 Chance of a Lifetime (a good chunk of season 1), and some High Rollers, Catch Phrase, Hot Potato, Now You See It 1989 (until 6/16/89), Wipeout (first 3 months of 1988), Wordplay, and a whole lot more.

Also, I noticed that HYHYBT seems to be back on YouTube, now going by HYEYBT (link: www.youtube.com/user/HYEYBT). I hope all the game show-related stuff that he posted in 2009-2010 will eventually resurface (Scrabble '93, Tic Tac Dough, The All New Let's Make A Deal, syndicated Family Feud circa 1989, etc.).


Here's to a year of great classic game show watching!

My wish list is pretty narrow, limited to only one. Any pre-GSN episodes from the NBC run of $ale of the Century on YouTube would be good.

As for the remaining 1986 episodes of Press Your Luck and Eubanks' Card Sharks, I will wait and see if GSN airs them.

Though to close out 2015, a February 1988 episode of Eubanks' Card Sharks has surfaced.

[agm828]

Sale of the Century(more of early episodes from the 1980s NBC run)
Card Sharks(Eubanks episodes from 1987 & 1988)
The Price is Right(more of Barker episodes from 1983 to 1990[before the 4th Beauty Auditions])
Love Connection(more of Woolery episodes from 1987 to 1992)
Starcade(episodes from the entire incarnation)
Family Feud(more of Dawson episodes 1977 to 1983[pre-lollipop tree era])
Match Game(more of daytime episodes from 1975 to 1978 w/ Charles on the panel & any Rayburn Syndie episode)
What's My Line(more of Color episodes from the 1960s/1970s incarnation)
I've Got a Secret(more of Allen-hosted episodes from 1960s & 1970s + Moore episodes from the early 1960s)
Password Plus(more of Ludden episodes from 1979 & 1980)
To Tell To Truth(any pre-1990 episode including the ones from 1960 to 1965)
Blockbusters(Cullen Pre-Blue Set episodes)

Not really into "wish lists", because I'm not really looking for much - but if I wanted something, I would love a full-length season 7 episode of Price. I have no idea why, but just give me one, and I'd be happy.

[manekineko]

other than:

1) Starcade
2) Scrabble
3) $ale of the Century
and 4) Split Second ('86 - '87)

most of these don't really impress me much. It's not that I don't care, it's just that most of these I've seen already quite a few times.

Copy-pasting from my post in the 2015 Wish List thread, with some modifications:
-Bargain Hunters: The Finale (according to Ryan Rinkerman, a few traders do have this one).
-Beat the Clock: More of the Collyer episodes GSN aired (there's very few online post-1953); the circulating 1960 episode; any episode from the first Narz season (1969-70), which GSN has never aired for some reason.
-The Hollywood Squares (daytime): The circulating episode of the 1969 Storybook spinoff.
-I've Got A Secret (Allen, syndicated): More of the circulating episodes. I know GSN aired most if not all of the 1972-73 series, but very little of it is online.
-Press Your Luck: The last taped episode from 1986 (I've seen some claims over the years that the 9/26/86 show wasn't actually the last one); at least one full episode each of the Australian and British versions.
-The Price Is Right (US, Barker daytime): Any half-hour shows that circulate but aren't online yet (there's at least a couple dozen I'm aware of), including the last brown-set episode from August 1975; like Mandoli said, any full shows from Season 7 (GSN aired a grand total of one; yes, really).
-The Price Is Right (US, syndicated): Anything from Dennis James' first three seasons (most, if not all, of those exist as off-air copies recorded by Dennis himself, but they're in a now-obscure tape format); more of the circulating Kennedy/Davidson shows.
-The Price Is Right (Aussie): The 1973 episode that pops up from time to time in retrospectives, as it so heavily resembles the American version at the time.
-Sale of the Century (US, Perry syndicated): The 1986 Finale (I know the next-to-last episode circulates).
-Sale of the Century (Aussie): The 1980 Pilot/Premiere (I've seen it touted as one or the other, but I'm pretty sure it's both); the 2001 Finale.
-Temptation: The last taped US episode from 2008; the last Aussie episode from 2009.
-Scrabble: More circulating episodes from either run. (There's at least a dozen or so that I'm aware of.)
-To Tell The Truth (Collyer, daytime): More full episodes -- GSN apparently aired a large chunk of the daytime show, but it's pretty scarce online.
-Trump Card: The 1991 Finale, if only for how awkward it must have been to not actually give away the $100,000 they'd been touting.
-Wheel of Fortune (US): The 1975 Premiere (which by all indication does exist); master copy of Vanna's first permanent show from 1982 (which I know circulates; I'm mostly just interested in the slate and credits, though); the full E! True Hollywood Story (I only have the first ~20 minutes or so).
-La Roue Chanceuse (French-Canadian Wheel): At least one full episode, as it was clearly going for a "knock-off" version of the 1986-89 daytime set and theme.
-Het Rad Der Fortuin (Belgian Wheel): A partial 1975 episode surfaced back in November 2012 (intro and Round 1 only), but I wouldn't mind seeing the full show.

Starcade(episodes from the entire incarnation)

I don't think this is likely, unfortunately -- JM Productions started claiming copyright on Starcade videos, which is how Adam Nedeff's YouTube channel was shut down.

Daniel, I remember that Kris Lane was one of the traders who had the Bargain Hunters finale.

Also, the copy of the PYL Finale I've seen has a WCBS-TV ID. WCBS of New York aired it at noon, thus tape delaying the program for the next morning. 

Remember, only affiliates on the East Coast that aired PYL from January to September 1986 at 4:00 p.m. (what little there were), aired it without delays.

[couponboy]

I'd really like to see several things in particular:

1. 1970s Sale of the Century episodes

2. The Chuck Woolery Wheel of Fortune premiere and/or an episode during the Buy a Vowel wedge era

3. The Dennis James Price is Right episode where the showcases ended in a tie (the only showcase tie on ANY US version of Price)

4. Episodes of The Mad Dash

5. The episodes of Aussie Deal or No Deal where 1) someone dealt the second offer (just to see the reaction of everyone to it) and/or 2) the episode where Nathan won $515,000 and became the biggest winner on that version

As I stated in the 2015 wish list thread, I am still hoping that at least one full episode from the Australian version of Press Your Luck appears on YouTube. Especially since it would be useful in creating board rotation and prize rotation files for PYL Expert Edition.

I also hope that more Pat Sajak-era NBC episodes of Wheel of Fortune appear on the Internet, though it won't last if it's on YouTube.  I'd be even thrilled if it were pre-1985 NBC episodes, since those are confirmed to be destroyed as per Merv Griffin's policy.

I have to admit, I was thrilled to see a rare early-1984 NBC broadcast of Wheel of Fortune uploaded to YouTube a few years back.  It was apparently a contestant who uploaded it (Doug Branch, to be exact), and needless to say, I downloaded it in a flash.  Plus it was a vivid memory to relive a bonus round where a contestant picked a "G" as one of her five consonants, and did appear in the puzzle.

This version of the show is my all-time favorite, hence it is a little frustrating to me how most of the run aired in the mid-90s on GSN, which means I have extremely little luck in being able to watch all of them.  I do have 23, which is an impressive number, but close enough to completion that I can't help but wish I could finish it off.  I know of one episode with Greg Morris that was reran on GSN that I don't own, I'm curious if a full episode guide is out there.  I'm apparently (slight grain of salt) also missing episodes with Bill Macy, Paul Winchell, Vincent Price, Ruth Buzzi, Alan Sues, Buddy Hackett, Rich Little, Kaye Ballard, Jack Carter, Joel Grey, Frank Gorshin, Chad Everett, and Red Buttons as the Special Guest.  And I imagine there's others.

Anyway, my YouTube wishlist:

- more original broadcasts of 1970s Password and Password Plus
- Celebrity Sweepstakes
- more original broadcasts of Richard Dawson's Family Feud, especially daytime from early in the run
- more original broadcasts of Match Game
- daytime 1968 episodes of Bud Collyer's To Tell the Truth
- Garry Moore's episodes of The $25,000 Pyramid
- anything once considered lost that we can find an episode or many of

I'm sure there's more but this is off the top of my head.

Gotta list the following

- Great Pretenders (probably Karaoke Style Ones)
- $ale of the Century
- Scrabble
- $1,000,000 Chance of a Lifetime
- The Big Spin (mostly until 2000)
- High Rollers (either version)
- Hollywood Squares '86
- Singled Out

[WarioSajak]

Two things that might make some people here happy:
1) This YouTube channel recently uploaded six episodes of the British Sale of the Century from Fall 1989. She (I'm guessing it's a she based on the username) has some other UK game shows as well.

2) ...Okay, did somebody ask for The Guinness Game? Because an episode just surfaced.

[vahan]

I hate it, I hate it, I hate it when people post a blatant watermark in front of the videos. I thought Wink Martindale and his team would never do that, but then something happened that made them starting doing them.

[Deleted]

Regarding the British SOTC episodes, I noticed that the host shares his name with the original host of The Hollywood Squares.

[walker7]

Here's the second episode of The $1,000,000 Chance of a Lifetime (1/7/1986):
