1990's gameshows

Leeleather

What were your favourite gameshow's of the 1990's?

On the school holidays during the summer there was loads of them on in the morning. Was quite fond of going for gold and the American card game, it's name escapes me.

Hande hoche!

It has got to be crystal maze. Incredible production values.

They're all still on the Challenge channel.
Going for Gold.
Fort Boyard.
Crystal Maze.
Even early episodes of nine out of ten cats.

Supermarket sweep.
Every time I'm pushing the trolley around Aldi, I secretly dream of doing all my shopping under 3mins... lashing in turkeys, and other high value items...

A great ad for aldi would be a supermarket sweep type gameshow, but everyone always failing to get high scores in the final sweep because it's all so good value

Turtyturd

Classic concentration.
Catchphrase.
Crystal Maze.

Special mention to the Krypton Factor, always wanted to do the flight simulator and assault course.

messrs

also loved Bullseye - watched an episode of it recently on Challenge! oh and gladiators - although that doesn't fall under the 'gameshow' category I still loved it!

Big break was always entertaining, even with Jim Davidson hosting the big racist.

Hande hoche!

Had completely forgotten about that one. It seems so quaint in hindsight.

Just watch Challenge TV. They have them all - 80s Bullesye, 90s Supermarket Sweep, The Crystal Maze, etc.

I witnessed a real life supermarket sweep in a branch of a certain "Flying hero man concerned about valu for money" store. A bit of a fix really. The manager made sure to steer the contest winner away from the areas where the most expensive stuff was, booze, meat etc and had staff strategically placed to act as barriers as well as a photographer who somehow managed to keep getting in the way and so slowed her down.

Even as a kid I never like supermarket sweep because it didn't make sense.

If you were really trying to get the most money you would stay down one Isle probably the cosmetics Isle where there are lots of small more expensive items and fit loads in the trolley.

Obviously for the sake of the game contestants were told the could only get a couple of items per Isle but that always annoyed me about that show.

I remember at one stage on a Saturday in my house, it would be gladiators, Noel Edmonds house party, Big Break and then Blind Date

FTA69

Couldnt beat a bit of Where in the World on a Sunday evening on RTÉ

eviltimeban

Surprised no one has mentioned Blockbusters.

15 to 1 was great but I dont think I ever got a single question right.

Used to run home from school to watch it eating homemade pancakes with rhubarb jam, Willie G was a legend.

It's made a comeback with Sandi Tosqvig, questions still as hard as ever, it's great.

Going for gold still the best theme tune though

The heat is on, the time is right. . . .

"Top, middle or bottom?"

"TOPTOPTOPTOP...MIDDLE!!!"



Shame about the swimming pool incident

Watched it regularly. Loved (and still love) the theme tune. Watched it recently too and just not the same without Bob.

Was Treasure Hunt in the 90's? Following Anneka Rices arse as she jumped out of the chopper, sure you couldn't go wrong with it.

SEPT 23 1989

Play The Game with Ronan Collins,Twink and Derek Davis

awful stuff

Irish Guitarist

I remember watching this with my mother and her saying "what are they laughing at?".

Saralee4

haha you could learn a lot from catchphrase and family fortunes!

Ruu

Sick days meant Supermarket Sweep. Loads of others.

Wish they would have continued our very own, Know Your Sport. Used to watch it with my Dad but would roll eye when they had Jimmy Magee segment *yawn*.

Lyrics Board anyone? *ducks*

SantryRed

I think it was 80s/90s.

Show call Wanted which was based in the UK. And the contestant had to remain in a phonebox in a specified area for the duration of the show, whilst people were out hunting for them.

Used to love it!

Winning Streak, still looks like it's produced in the 90's, but it was good back then.
