I wanna find out more behind-the-scenes stuff like this

like how the joker's wild had to use a custom rig to spin and stop three slide projectors to simulate the spinning "reels" of a slot machine.

forgot a 1970s game show used a bunch of Apple IIs hooked up to an Altair computer for its gameboard.

technology on game shows are wild, y'all

I crave some goddamn catharsis.

was watching an Australian game show (The New Price is Right) and that was one of the prizes on offer

I have a question for my aussie friends: why did you have a van called the Jackaroo????

holden jackaroo

time to listen to a bunch of random popular 90s alternative rock/grunge to hopefully distract myself from the fireworks still going off at midnight

I'm making this poll because I've shown the show to a few folks who are not huge game show nerds like me, and they seem flabbergasted at the concept from the get-go

Despite it being (mostly) a mundane Jeopardy! clone.

Poll for folks:

If I told you there was a game show in the 1990s called "Debt" where the grand prize was to pay off your debt/bills, what would be your response to that be?
