Kind of funny, because I'm a big fan of the Reds and Bengals (not to mention Loni Anderson). Hard to believe they don't have an NBA team. (The used to have an ABA team, the Royals, back in the day.)
This is a game show that lasted for several seasons, on different channels, and even spawned a video game based on gameplay. The actual gameplay was pretty straightforward, but a lot of the show's success was based not on the gameplay, but on STYLE. The gameplay for an entire episode could be over in less than 5 minutes, but we padded it out with responses from the audience, with feedback from family members there to support the player, and with the show's unseen antagonist occasionally doing something unexpected in the game area. In at least a few episodes, we saw the show's antagonist very clearly and got to hear them. That was because they got permission to exchange the antagonist for DARTH VADER, and there's no reason to include him if you can't see or hear him. The rest of the show's cast also got a wardrobe change for those episodes, as well (all 26 of them), although the host kept his suits.
So, we have a game show, a cast of 26 plus a host plus some kind of antagonist we normally don't see. The gameplay is pretty straightforward, but the show's time is padded out with a lot of style. It's around the world, and a video game was made of the show.

The name of the show is easy to understand for anyone who has watched even one episode of the show, since the show is dominated by asking one simple question. The name of the show is NOT written as a question despite that.
Ok, a game show round. Identify ONE OR MORE to take the round.

B) This game show has 2 teams face off against each other. Each team plays in turns. A sentence was posed to a group of the general public, with a word or phrase missing, with each person asked to fill in the blank. The most common answers are chosen, and placed on the board, with only the first letter of each word showing. (So, if one of the most common answers was "Greasespot Cafe", the board would show 'G_________ C___".) Each player is given a chance to guess words on the board. If they get one right, they guess again, and wrong answers mean play passes to the next team member until time runs out.

I'm not clear what your point is then. I don't think I'm much older than anyone here. I thought the whole point of this game was to stir memories ,and realize-'oh yeah-I do remember that show !' I'm

In the "Jump the Shark" episode of Batman B&B, they go through all of the ways to JTS listed on that website, including having Ted McGinley on! :lol: George

C) The DC/Fawcett character must be Captain Marvel, now known as Shazam. I think the show is Beat Shazam George

I was completely unfamiliar with the other shows.

B is reminiscent of Family Feud, but in that game no letters are given. Don't know (and still don't know A).
