4. "Remote Control".
It was on MTV back in the late 80s. Denis Leary was the sidekick/ announcer.

But as a wee kid I loved "Concentration".

And "GE College Bowl"!

15. Yes, you're right!
I stand corrected! Colin Quinn was the announcer, not Denis Leary. My bad. Sorry.

Ken Ober was the host, and I think he's now living in his parents' basement. But then again I was wrong on Colin/Denis, so who knows.

21. I saw "The Price is Right" this morning
This chick was guessing the price of a rather mediocre. I tuned in 20 seconds into her game, where she thought the computer was $5468 or whatever... I'm hoping there was more too her round than just one computer worth maybe $1000 new...

Otherwise, it's a cool game show.

I've noticed TPIR and Wheel of Fortune seem to have bloated figures for products, particularly computers...

24. here's a stumper . . .
What was unique about a game show called "You're In The Picture"?

Bonus: Who hosted the show, and what did he do on the second program?

26. Here's the Answer
"You're In The Picture" only aired once. Jackie Gleason was the host, and he apologized for the first show on the second program.

33. kudos, CO Liberal . . .
the reason I remember that is because I actually saw both the first and second shows . . . I think Gleason stayed on the air for a few more weeks just as a variety show or something, but the game never again saw the light of day . . . it was a really stupid thing where celebrities put their heads in cutouts of historical scenes and had to ask questions and guess the scene they were in . . . it really was bad, and Gleason did the right thing by just admitting to the audience that the show bombed big time, and apologizing . . .

Where those who atttended college could humiliate other members of the family by answering one question before the geeks! Or get humiliated in turn. And eventually everyone feels stupid or wonders why elite contestants rush the buzzer after the word "The..."
