Where To Watch
Was this the title of a game show or TV drama in the 1980s?
See if you can tell the difference between Hot Potatoes and Hot Pursuits.
Game shows can have a lot of drama. You have human interest, happy endings and heartbreak. No wonder so many game show sounded like dramas, especially in the 1980s.
Take Double Dare for example. Of course, it was a popular Nickelodeon game show — but Double Dare was also a drama on CBS with Billy Dee Williams in 1985.

9/15. :(
13/15 I didn't watch much TV in the 80's so none of these were really familiar......guessed most of them
13/14. I guessed every single one of them.
Hard quiz....some very obscure game shows and I know alot of them. 13 of 15, but some were guesses.
I really blew this one! Lol
12/15 First pass i knew 5 for sure, so i had lowered expectations on this one... 7/10 on the unsure ones makes this a win for me!
11/15 Not a game show guy...some lucky guesses.
11/15 that was really rough
10 out of 15. Oy!
10/15 (-:
I've written about BattleStars before. I tested that show for the network. From Heater/Quigley, Hollywood Squares fame. Very bad, it was 13 and out!
Instead of Squares, the stars were in triangles. And, you didn't answer 1 question to capture the star, each SIDE of the triangle was a question! So, to capture the star you needed 2 out of 3 sides. Very slow moving game

Lottery was a combination "Love Boat" and buddy show.
One was the lottery official who gave the winner a check, his partner was the IRS! Get it? One gave the money, the other took it away!! How funny!!
Usually 2 stories an hour, if I remember correctly. Love Boat level guest stars.
