Supermarket Sweep is all I want back Honestly if every other tv show can have a revival why not Supermarket Sweep?

[El Cokehead del Knife Fight]

A*mazing.

Any Australian kid from the 90's would have watched it and it was awesome.

-Win Ben Steins Money
-Press Your Luck (kinda fun to play on Nintendo Wii)
-Supermarket Sweep

Great choices, folks. My gut instinct is say Match Game as well; however, I know I wouldn't watch, because it would be a COMPLETE cheap imitation (at best) of something that it could never surpass or adequately replace. I think I'd rather leave that perfect as I remember it.

I would love to see World Series of Pop Culture back.

I would love to see the Alex Trebeck version of Double Dare back(what a FANTASTIC, fun watch and concept that show is).

And, if you want to count it, I want to see more of The Mole. (Can someone PLEASE get a wave of Facebook/Twitter fanatics to demand this show back on the air?)

And, of course, it's so true that it's worth repeating: $25,000 Pyramid MUST come back ... and not in some up-to-date modernized version. Stay true to the show's original concept and flair.

Totally rigged. And Schwab is a complete tool.

I'd much prefer 2 Minute Drill.

[MiLB Fan]

Video Power
Rock & Roll Jeopardy
Name That Video

[Ryback on a Pole!]

The Crystal Maze

I still love watching the re-runs when they're on and would pay good money to see a new series. Preferably complete with bad early-mid 90's hairstyles and fashion as well.

[Long A, Short A]

Quicksiver

Classic Press Your Luck

Concentration

World Series of Pop Culture: I wanted this forum to make a team for that show.

I have to say the one show I wanted them to revive is back, it's called "Let's Make A Deal". Wayne Brady is a fun host and does a fine throw-back to the Monty Hall days. It's all silly fun, the games aren't taken too seriously and the prizes are pretty decent.

***

They've revived Match Game a few times since the classic Gene Rayburn years.
They all sucked.
One contestant around the early-90s version said it best (on the air) when she mentioned, "What fun is a game where the only answers seem to be either 'boobs', 'butt' or 'Roseanne Barr'?" The celebrities seem to have been lower than the D-List Kathy Griffin claims. (A young unknown comic named Dave Chappelle made it one week, I remember him.)

The last version was not too long ago. The host asked a question and the answer was not what they'd call "the definitive answer". Then they'd go to the panel for their answers and it was 6 different slang terms for "penis". Gee, how funny.

What made the Rayburn-hosted "Match Game" fun was how "there was a line you never crossed". They had a "documentary" on GSN about the game, and they had this long list of things you were never to say or even allude to. If you even hinted at one of those things, they just plain kicked you off the show.
It was bawdy without being too crude. Anybody can answer "ass", but where is the creativity? You couldn't say "butt" on the show, but "derriere", or "backside" was okay. "Boobs" was a no-no, but "bust" or "breasts" were allowed, and even the censors bristled at allowing those. And, don't even think about slipping a "Johnson" past them, so to speak.

***

And another fail to reviving "Stump the Schwab". Found out the contestants had to make do with their knowledge, but Schwab gets a heads-up on the categories and focuses all his attention on studying those. What a rip.

[Red Impact]

The ones I'd want have all been said already. Supermarket sweep, Beat the Geeks, and Win Ben Stein's Money.

I'd also want to see Legends of the Hidden Temple back.

[hawkfan44]

wow, did not know that about Stump the Schwab.

[Deleted]

The Schwab was a major league tool, and Stuart Scott is an awful host so I don't miss it.

Supermarket Sweep is the obvious answer
