HOORAY! We have our winners:
Joan, Mark and Kathryn! Congrats, game show fans, and thanks for entering. Your awesome prize packs will be on their way to your mailboxes shortly. Enjoy, and thanks again for checking us out at TV Screener.com!
And everyone, stay tuned to TVScreener.com … we’ve got lots more TV goodies coming your way!
What TV fan doesn’t love watching classic episodes of classic game shows? As the existence of the Game Show Network proves, watching Brett Somers and Charles Nelson Reilly tickle your BLANK on Match Game, seeing the casts of sitcoms like Welcome Back Kotter battle the cast of Barney Miller on All-Star Family Feud or enjoying contestants trying to avoid The Whammy – No Whammies! No Whammies! – on Press Your Luck is good stuff.
Thanks to a DVD series from Mill Creek Entertainment, you can watch a collection of the best episodes from those great game shows and more, and, extra thanks to Mill Creek, because the studio has given TVScreener.com copies of five fab game show DVDs to give away to three lucky readers!
Three winners will each receive one copy of each of these DVDs:
– The Best of All-Star Family Feud – Hogan’s Heroes star Richard Dawson is the host, and this DVD includes 28 celeb Feud battles, including Soap vs. All My Children, The Jeffersons vs. The Dukes of Hazzard, Three’s Company vs. The Love Boat, Eight Is Enough vs. General Hospital, plus games involving the casts of The Ropers, Gilligan’s Island, The Waltons, Dallas, WKRP in Cincinnati and Dynasty.
– Game Show Moments Gone Bananas! – Hosted by Ben Stein, this collection of great game show moments includes funny and outrageous clips (read: bloopers) from shows like The Price Is Right, Family Feud, Match Game, Password, Press Your Luck, Card Sharks, Sale of the Century (loved that one!), What’s My Line, Child’s Play and more. The clips are actually five episodes of a mini-series that aired on VH-1, and includes one installment devoted to celebrities, before they were famous, as game show contestants, including Kirstie Alley on Match Game.
– The Best of Password, The CBS Years: 1961-1967 – This fun collection includes lots of celeb guest stars, and is hosted by Allen Ludden, or Mr. Betty White, as I always think of him. And yes, Betty White is among the guests, along with Johnny Carson, Bob Newhart, Lucille Ball, Carol Burnett and lots of other A-listers.
– The Best of Match Game – Gene Rayburn is the beloved host of the 30 episodes on this collection, which also includes an interview with one of the all-time best panelists, Brett Somers; other celeb panelists, like Michael Landon, William Shatner, Jamie Lee Curtis, Mama Cass and Jack Klugman (who was married to Brett Somers); a tribune to Gene Rayburn; and the original 1962 Match Game pilot.
– The Best of The Price Is Right – Includes 26 episodes, including the entire last week of episodes that featured Bob Barker (the king!) as host.

Charlie Sheen, Russell Brand and Louis C.K. are getting most of the attention, but I’m most excited that one of the best new shows of last TV season — Wilfred — returns for its second season on FX tonight (10PM ET). Season one of the series ended with a cliffhanger — had Ryan (Elijah Wood) […]
