1970s daytime game shows include explanations of obscure ones, but don’t C/P the explanations.

  1. Battle of the Sexes

Lots of shows have been called this, but I’m referring specifically to a Goodson-Todman show that ran less than a year in 77-78; it had a question/answer format with teams of men against teams of women. There was a bluffing round, similar to what the celebrity panel did on Hollywood Squares. Then, the right answers eliminated team members, and the last couple of members had to face off in some stunt-- something that neither sex had an advantage in, so not feats of strength or flexibility.

The show probably missed its mark-- might have lasted longer if it had first aired in 1972 or 73.

Bill Cullen hosted. A solo player against a “family pair.” Bill Cullen kept the show moving, often with funny asides. I can catch this on a cable channel today, and it’s still fun.
