01/26/2008 What's a classic game show? The definition us up for debate. A classic game show can be a black and white treasure from half a century ago. A classic game show can be a show which left an indelible imprint in your mind when you first saw the show as a child. A classic game show could have aired in the not-so-distant past. A classic game show can have people close to you as the star for a wink or a week, whether it's a relative, a friend, or an acquaintance. A classic game show can be hosted by a person you mimicked as a kid, with a stick as a microphone. In other words, a classic game show is what you want it to be. I hope this site entertains you, regardless of how you define a classic game show. Enjoy your visit. Videos will be added to the player on the left whenever I feel like it. This doesn't mean you're out of luck when it comes to fulfilling your daily requirement of game show clips. I add videos to my YouTube page on a semi-frequent basis. Go there and enjoy some Flash video goodness. If you have any questions or would like to contact me, please e-mail me. Thanks for visiting! |

Randy's original Whew! site has found a permanent home at ClassicGameShows.com. The only changes made since Randy's passing are corrected links, some additional images, and several Whew! videos, since the rules can be construed as confusing. |
| A classic game show in my mind
was the 13-week NBC classic
Hit Man. Others tend to agree as
Hit Man introduced Peter Tomarken, who later went on to success
with Press Your Luck. 2008 is the 25th anniversary of Hit Man. A quarter of a century. Now I feel old. |
