Though I can't remember exactly when I fell in love, but I think my first crush ever was Bob Barker. As far back as I can remember, I watched the Price is Right with great delight! Loved the showcase showdown. I can hear that Johnny saying "Come on down!"
I liked pricing games like the Cliffhanger, Bulls Eye & the Clock game. I kid you not, sometimes I watched those showcases with a calculator in hand. Those were the days...when I had time to watch TV & nothing better to do.
Apparently, I'm not the only one loving on TPIR. Versions of the popular game show are shown shown round the world from here to there - Chile to Morocco to Thailand, Turkey & Pakistan plus dozens other places you might visit on a missions trip. Who knew?!
There were many game shows I enjoyed growing up, but none held my affinity like the Price is Right, nor my affection like Bob Barker. But let's talk about the others anyway....$100,000 Pyramid & what was that game show with all the squares?? I vuagely remember an episode of Pyramid with another crush, Donny Osmond. What else....does the Gong Show count as a game show? Probably not & I'm not really proud that I watched that silly show anyway, but I was a kid. OOOh, Let's Make a Deal & Name That Tune! Richard Dawson in the Family Fued. Now it's all coming back to me.
So, what games did you watch as a kid or watch these days? Do tell!

This out of nowhere post was inspired by the folks at Parent Bloggers with fun at heart & teeny tiny wishes to maybe win something cool. Plus, I just can't sleep.

Boy Carmen all I got from this pot is that you're old! JK I do remember these shows, maybe not all of them live like you. See you in a few hours.
Bob's Your Uncle would never make such a comment. And to think I was going to bring you a frozen pumpkin roll this morning, but I think I'm going to get hungry later on tonight myself. Hmmmmpp! Don't make me moderate my comments~ :o)
Oh yeah - how could I forget the Gong Show!!! And you know what else - let's hear it for Hollywood Squares. (Okay, I was REALLY little when I watched that!) When I burn stuff we're supposed to eat, my son says it's not burnt - just well-cooked. Therefore, we're not old, just well experienced!
Thank you so much for stopping by my blog! I love the audio clip on your bio. What a beautiful song.
