A short story recapping the history of ClassicGameShows.COM and my passion for Classic Game Shows.

The year is 1998, and a new satellite tv company has opened for business with a promotion that couldn’t be what the cable company was offering. I jumped on board, and got to see so many TV channels that I never new existed. Growing up, our family watched tv with rabbit ears antennas and could pick...

Here is a list of some of the most popular and well known Classic Game Show hosts that were on their air at one or several points in time during the “Classic” era from the 1940’s to the 1990’s. I have included their names and a few of the shows that they starred in. I will also continue to edit and add more content to this section, including personal bios, and photos of their on-air appearances.

Game Shows would not be complete without a Master of Ceremonies, Host, or Emcee to lead the show and keep the flow. A good Host does more than just explain the rules of the show, they also must know how to make the contestant feel comfortable, be witty and funny, but not necessarily a comedian. Foll...

I've done a quick write up on the history of Family Feud, with a few select episodes ready to view. More will be on their way.

It's mostly based off memory and some research, so if there are any corrections, please feel free to let me know.

Thanks again for following!

Family Feud has been airing almost continuously since 1976 until now, with the exception during a short time between 1986-1987 and 1996-1998. A fun game show that asks 100 people a question for a survey, and the most popular answers appear on the board for two families to guess. The family that reac...
