A. Read all the rules B. Post your answers before reading the thread C. Post your answers like this: 1. Answer 2. Answer, etc Do not repeat the questions, do not add extraneous fluff amongst your answers. If you want to add commentary, double space after your tenth answer and do it there. D. Scoring - Any answer duplicated by anyone else is worth 100 points divided by the number of entrants. E. The game will end either when we have 50 entrants, or at 7 PM Eastern on Wednesday, 3/26/08 whichever comes first. F. The penalty. See rule C. If you fail to post answers correctly causing me extra work in the scoring, you get the honor of incurring a penalty. That penalty is 10% of your final point total. I only do this with the goal of making sure people read the rules. Ready? Here we go! Give me 30 seconds on the clock… 1. Other than Richard Dawson, name someone who hosted _Family Feud_. 2. Name a game played on _The Price Is Right_. 3. Name a game show announcer (not the host, the off-camera guy). 4. Name a _Jeopardy!_ category that they use at least once a month. 5. Name a show where each contestant has/had a celebrity partner. 6. Name a Goodson-Todman show. 7. Other than _The Dating Game_, name a show premised on people dating. 8. Other than Paul Lynde, name a frequent player on the original _Hollywood Squares._ 9. Other than Whoopi Goldberg, name a frequent player on the resuscitated _Hollywood Squares._ 10. Name a kids’ game show. ---
