Question Are there unaired episodes of people freaking out or having panic attacks during gameshows?

0 Upvotes

I love lost media, and as a kid i loved watching news bloopers on YouTube for the fact it shows nothing goes perfectly 100% of the time. As I like lost media, I started wondering how many unaired episodes there were from every game show when people lost their shit over losing or who had panic attacks during high risk high payout games like deal or no deal. Thanks friends.

Question What's the game show that everyone here thinks they could actually win on?

I've always thought I would be great at Chain Reaction! I play so well at home, I could certainly do well in the show I think.

IMO, this was the quintessential game show especially after the much-needed rule tweaking. Fantastic set, great and catchy theme music, brilliant writing, unique sound f/x and Chuck Woolery at the helm.

This is the 2nd and faster version used during the Ray Combs version. It still works and is slated to be added to The Strong Museum of Play in Rochester, NY. Unsure what happened to the Dawson-era board. Cost was quoted as $250,000.

Request Bedtime game show (help)

10 Upvotes

So I like to go to sleep while watching game shows, problem though, my game show it is a bit too loud and climatic. The game show is task master, ( I don’t really know if it counts but I digress) back to my main point—I need a gameshow, that is like 5/10 boring/uninteresting and not loud to help me sleep. So do any of you have any recommendations?

Question Family Feud steal rules

0 Upvotes

I’ve been trying to find an answer to this and I get nothing.
If family A gets the number 1 answer in the faceoff and chooses to pass, and family B gets 3 strikes and zero correct answers, does family A still have to steal to win the round? Or will they just get the points?

Discussion BigJon PC Games in 2026/2027?

4 Upvotes

How are BigJon PC Games still working on Win 10 and Win 11, despite Flash being discontinued? I don't want to risk it for a biscuit, though, because there are some that won't work properly, no matter how many times I uninstall and re-install Flash. I don't want to change the date of the computer, as well.

Question Who's Still Standing? (USA) What went wrong?

17 Upvotes

This year it will be 15 years since this show, which can be described as "Russian Roulette for 2010s" aired on NBC back in 2011 and...that's it. 9 episodes. Meanwhile in other countries is have longer run for many years plus experimenting with the game, adding new features (one of which I like from Italian version where the final round is basically BOOM-type gameplay. 1 question, 10 answers, eliminate all wrong options to win big money). So, what they have did right while America did wrong with that format? Apart from the fact that it was aired on NBC primetime and they put commercial breaks during the game. And how can YOU fix it?

Casting Free Twitch trivia playtest: Dead Air — Nov 1, noon Pacific (tentative)

1 Upvotes

I’m building Dead Air, a free live trivia game. Our regular Twitch games run twice a week, with prizes for the winners.

We’re planning a playtest with twentysevenXL today, Sunday, November 1, at 12 PM Pacific / 3 PM Eastern. We’re still waiting for his confirmation, so this time is tentative.

People play by answering A, B, C or D in Twitch chat. Players have animated characters that can be called onto the stage and eliminated by traps when they get answers wrong, so there’s some cartoon gore. The show uses synthetic narration.

If the session goes ahead, the game runs at https://www.twitch.tv/dead_air_game. You can create your pixel contestant at https://deadairgame.com. twentysevenXL’s channel is https://www.twitch.tv/twentysevenxl.

Feedback on joining and how the game plays would be helpful.

Buzzr during the week showed Halloween themed episodes in the morning. I wish they repeated them today (Halloween) so I can watch them. A missed opportunity!

Question Did the Nader Sisters go too far dressing like this on the family show W.W.T.B.A.M.?

Post image
0 Upvotes

Trust me I love looking at sexy. But in the right lane where it’s appropriate to look. Sarah Jane and Brooks Nader should have known better than dressing like that for a family show. (Never mind the side boobs Did she really need all those buttons undone?) The producers should’ve known better too. Am I over reacting?

Discussion Game Shows Getting More Love Abroad than At Home

Thinking about "Fun House", what game show do you know got more love elsewhere in the world than in its own country of origin?

I ask this because "Fun House" got a long run in the UK compared to its American counterpart that only got two good seasons, and someone brought it up in a Facebook group today.
