Classic Game Shows & More (2009) Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The good news is that this set has a lot of wonderful material, and for the price it seems like a terrific deal. The bad news is that the price is low for a reason: The actual DVDs don't work well at all. Technologically, it's a nightmare, in fact. You can't access certain shows on the menu; some stop in the middle, skip, or pause indefinitely. Often you can't even access the menus, and the discs make odd whirring sounds in the DVD player. More good news: Amazon was quite prompt and nice about returning my first set and sending another set. More bad news: The same problems occur on the replacement. At this point I really don't want to go through another iteration of returning and replacing, and then being disappointed again. I will say that the shows I was able to watch were terrific. It's sad that quality companies don't want to release quality classic game-show DVDs.

Game Shows Of The 50s: Beat The Clock / I've Got A Secret Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I'm too young to of seen these 2 shows during their original run, But I really enjoyed watching this DVD, which features 2 episodes of "I've Got a Secret" and 2 episodes of "Beat the Clock". One of the "I've Got a Secret" episodes features Lucille Ball and Desi Arnaz, both of which seem to be enjoying themselves. "I've Got a Secret" was sponsored by Winston Cigarettes, and the original commercials are intact.
The original commercials are also intact for "Beat the Clock", which despite constant plugging for the sponsors (Both of which are forgotten companies), Is also very enjoyable. The picture quality isn't perfect, But it must be remembered that these old game shows were "Kinescoped", which means they were recorded by pointing a motion picture camera at a TV screen. Considering that, I think the picture quality is quite acceptable. I recommend this DVD to anyone who enjoys 50's TV.
