Where To Watch
How well do you remember 1980s game shows?
Press your luck and see if you win, lose or draw.
Being sick had an upside. You got to stay home on the couch and watch hours of game shows.
At least, that's what we did back in the day. The television schedule used to be filled with game shows — morning, day and night.
We bet you remember them well. See if you can pass this quiz about popular game shows from the Eighties!

11 out of 12.
9/12 the Newly Wed Game was always my favorite! Too funny.
I grew up cutting out of school smoking greens. This was all we watched. I guess they were right. Kids don’t do drugs 🤣🤣🤣
I got 9/12. Didn't know who the famous announcer guy on Hollywood Square and the other celebrity person that the names that I couldn't think of. But the rest, I did good with all the answers.
Missed: #5 #10 #11

10/12 Missed #4 and #10
7/12. Apparently I don't remember my game shows very well.
On #6, "What was the makeup of the teams?"
I am glad it was multiple choice instead of fill-in-the-blank or I might have answered Cover Girl.

No it would be Mary Kay or Avon lmao
9/12. I’ve seen most of those shows.
9/12. I should have gotten these all right as I watched them all in the 80’s. I used to have a crush on Shadoe Stevens and saw his daughter in a Christmas movie last month. I was trying to explain to my daughter who her father was. 🙄🙃
10/12….😀
Joker's wild devil looked like Jack Barry.
It was the wrong answer to #11 anyway, but the guy on the later version of Hollywood Squares was "Jm J. Bullock". No letter I in his first name.
I remember John Davidson asking him once what the middle initial J stood for. His response "Jackson...or Janet if you're nasty".

8 out of 12 isn't bad considering how long ago the 80's were though it feels like just yesterday to me.
5 of 12. I guess I was a pretty healthy kid growing up. I was never sick enough to stay home during the day and if I "played sick", my Mom saw right through it! My game shows are right here these days, no cash or prizes but the METV quizzes are fun!
