Come On Down

There’s a lot you can say about this post-World War 2 game show, and it’s likely that not a lot of it would be good. We take a look back and analyze this show through a 2021 lens, and fondly remember those days of yore when parading out women to share their sob stories, and then voting (by applause) on who is the most pathetic, was still socially acceptable.

What's better than a game show based on a puzzle game you played as a kid? A game show based on TWO puzzle games you played as a kid. We take you from Concentration's start in the 50s through Alex Trebek's run in the 90s.

It’s the one question where the answer is almost always yes. Of course I would. This British panel show helps us find out which celebrities are the best liars, and which are the best at sniffing them out. Join us as we put on our transatlantic voices to listen to people with funny accents tell amusing lies and stories in order to earn points that ultimately mean nothing.

This week, we discuss the game show that’s kind of like Simon Says, but the power of the world’s mightiest government compels you to do their bidding at the threat of military force. Veteran mockumentary actor John Michael Higgins hosts this laugh-a-minute tour through American colonization, imperialism, and genocide. Either that, or it’s a Game Show Network knockoff of Family Feud.

If you only wanted to watch a game show if it wasn't really a game show, this might be the game show for you. Groucho Marx grew a real mustache to host this post-war NBC hit (World War II being the aforementioned war). This week, we learn all about it, smoke some cigars, and ask what's wrong with reality TV.

If you love a great deal, this is the game show for you. Get a stereo system for $5, a family vacation for $15, and get bamboozled into coming back to defend your title the next day and almost certainly walking away with nothing. This week, we dive into Sale of the Century, break down how it works, its Ameri-Austral-ican origins, and do some really bad accents.

Do you like dating people, but hate having to make an informed decision about who to date? This show might be for you! We head back to the Swinging Sixties to learn about the game, hunt down a serial killer, and figure out if you were a raccoon, what would be your favorite piece of trash and why.

Tune into the ONLY podcast that takes place entirely inside an apartment. This week, we delve into our first game show from the Discovery Channel: Cash Cab. Learn about host Ben Bailey, try your hand at the red light challenge, and help us figure out why this show is on Bravo now.

This week, a couple of squares take you through Hollywood Squares: the only game show where you play tic-tac-toe on Joan Rivers’ face. We talk about their Brady Bunch opening credits-looking set, the hosts, the center squares, testicular cancer, and so much more.

This week, we answer the question: Do you have it? Join John "The Piranha" Baker and Jonathan "Maniac" Motney as we take you through the story of Nickelodeon Guts, try to bring home a glowing piece of the Crag, and go to Mo for the scores.
