"Top 5 Game Shows"
Criteria: This list was based not on popularity, but rather on quality of the game show, how fun it was to watch and play along, and the host was deemed an "intangible."
Overview: We again had a great list of 15 to discuss including "The Newlywed Game," "Who wants to Be a Millionaire," "Hollywood Squares" and Wheel of Fortune. Arnie was adamant that "Name that Tune," and "Password," belonged, while Rob wouldn't budge off of "Match Game," and "Family Fued," which Arnie argued had been tainted by the post-Richard Dawson Era.
Rob's Notes: Arnie punishing Family Fued for the later years editions is unfair and wrong. The show was one of the greatest and belongs on the list. As for "The Match Game," it is the quintessential 70's game show, complete with Gene Rayburn and his "Penis Microphone."
Arnie's Notes: How in the hell does Rob have match game on his list. Did he start drinking early that day???? And Family Feud as the number 2 show????? I will give him credit it is a number 2.
