Summary: The Bible of game shows!!
Review: Very accurate, very informative, THE authoritative source on TV Game shows! One minor criticism is that the book is not as pictorial as it's previous edition and the numerous pictures really helped to enhance the game show information in the book. But it is nonetheless the BEST off-line game show source EVER!

Summary: Game show history at its best!
Review: Wink Martindale, Alex Trebeck, Bob Barker, Pat Zajac, Bob Eubanks, Bill Cullen, Allen Ludden, Gene Rayburn and Johnny Carson are just a few of the game show hosts we grew up with and they're here in this book.Relive so many memories from The Price is Right, Let's Make a Deal, Family Feud, Double Dare and so many others. You find out about the show, who hosted it and what the game was about. Sit down and take time to look back at what is the most complete book on television's hottest, brightest weirdest and worst games shows in history all packed into this 350 plus page scrapbook. Once again Facts on File has given you a real winner and this one is sure to please everyone. By the way who hosted Bank on the Stars? Or Child's Play? Or better yet Pass the Buck?
