This is a great DVD that gives you a little background of some of the famous and not so famous game shows that were so widely viewed in the past. Some of the clips are really amazing!! My teenage kids even get a kick out of watching this and my Mom and Dad loved reminiscing about the shows they used to watch. Quality is good and narration is excellent.

This review is from: TV's Greatest Game Shows - A Tribute to the Pioneers of Television Quiz Shows (DVD) This was a pretty good show. Some segments were too short, and others too long, but all in all it's a good journey back in time for an hour and a half. 0 3 of 3 people found the following review helpful A Cross-Section of TV Game Shows from the 1950s-1960s, By This review is from: TV's Greatest Game Shows - A Tribute to the Pioneers of Television Quiz Shows (DVD) TV'S GREATEST GAME SHOWS is kind of a retrospective of some of the favorite game shows of the 1940s-early 1960s. The format of the disc is to discuss a certain number of shows from a particular game show format. When the show aired, what networks it was broadcasted on, how the show was played, who hosted, and usually some interesting facts about the show. That's followed by a segment (and in some cases almost an entire show) from one or two of the shows that were mentioned earlier. Some of the more memorable segments I remember from the DVD are when Salvador Dali appeared on "The Name's the Same", Harper Marx visiting Grocho on "You Bet Your Life", and the first part of the appearance of Vincent Price on "The ,000 Challenge". Most of the video segments on the DVD can be found somewhere in the nether regions of the Internet, but only if you know exactly what you are looking for. Personally, I think it's more convenient seeing them here on this DVD b ecause not only do you get to see the videos but you're also given some context about them. I enjoyed watching this DVD and found it both entertaining and educational. 0 |
