When it comes to the game show sector, the 60s and 70s were arguably a golden era. Largely wholesome but occasionally racy, game shows during the 60s and 70s were as unpredictable as they come. Indeed, although the value of the prizes may have evolved since then, the entertainment value was there from the start. Long before reality TV, and during a time when becoming a celebrity from one viral appearance was unheard of, the candid nature of game shows during the 60s and 70s was a major reason many of the vintage clips are still considered classics to this very day.
Before people were doing things for shock value, game shows provided the world with a glimpse into the true hearts and minds of people from all across the globe. Shows such as Password, The Price is Right, To Tell the Truth, Truth or Consequences, and The Newlywed Game were all the rage and they provided viewers a way to be entertained as well as a way to relate to the contestants and find common ground with others. Although many of these shows were later rebooted, most viewers assert that they will never compare to the original versions.
No matter if you loved Hollywood Squares, Jeopardy, Match Game, Let's Make a Deal, What's My Live, Concentration, Supermarket Sweep, Beat the Clock, or any other game show, there were certainly moments which you laughed, cried, and of course, screamed at the TV. You won with the contestants, lost with them, and many times, you may have taken those moments with you forever. That's beautiful and all, but how much do you actually remember about these game shows? Given that this era had almost more game shows than you can count, it's unlikely that you haven't forgotten at least one or two.
Sure, you may believe you've seen every episode of You Bet Your Life or Video Village, but we'll bet our bottom dollar that you haven't. What's more, even if you do remember all the episodes from a few game shows, the possibility of remembering every show on this quiz is doubtful. Luckily, we're sure that you're up for the gamble and that your confidence will help guide you through. Are you ready to take the quiz? Take it right now and challenge your friends when you're done!
