TV's Greatest Game Shows Book - Television's Favorite Game Shows from the 50's, 60's & More!What were they thinking when they came up with some of these wacky shows?? This is a great DVD that gives you a little background of some of the famous and not so famous game shows that were so widely viewed in the past. Some of the clips are really amazing!! My teenage kids even get a kick out of watching this and my Mom and Dad loved reminiscing about the shows they used to watch. Quality is good and narration is excellent.

This was a pretty good show. Some segments were too short, and others too long, but all in all it's a good journey back in time for an hour and a half.
