It’s Been a Pretty Good Week for Game Shows

Not only am I finding this a great week television wise for Luke and Noah on As The World Turns, and for the fact that my favorite current series, Supernatural, is back for all new episodes after two months, but I’ve found this to be a really entertaining week for game show lovers like myself.

GSN’s been showing plenty of goodies this week. There was an episode of Eubanks’ Card Sharks with a $28,000 win, one of the highest amounts ever won on the series. Then earlier in the week we had a $40,000 win on Super Password, won by Betty White and her contestant partner. There was an episode of Now You See It shown where contestant Lyn Heath won $15,000 in the bonus round. There was also the final episode of Trivia Trap, where the juniors were able to help end the series on a good note by making it to the top of the trivia ladder and winning $10,000.

Also a couple of great episodes of the original I’ve Got A Secret were shown this week in the overnight. Both featured episodes from the To Tell The Truth panel, which consisted of Tom Poston, Peggy Cass, Orson Bean, and Kitty Carlisle at the time. One episode had a feature where they played a brief hybrid of To Tell The Truth, while the episode that aired the next night featured a panel crossover; the Truth panelists appeared on Secret, and the Secret panelists, Bill Cullen, Betsy Palmer, Henry Morgan, and Bess Myerson appeared on Truth. Kind of makes me wish we could have seen the Truth episode as well afterwards. It was pretty fun.

And Billy Bush has been subbing this week for Meredith Vieira on Millionaire. I’ve been so into Charmed on TNT that I’ve kept forgetting to check it out, but I’ll be sure to tune in today and see how he does.

It’s certainly been a fun week for this TV fan!
