    Card Sharks was the worst, followed closely by Temptation and Match Game. Whammy! was "meh". To Tell the Truth, Beat the Clock, and Million Dollar Password were all pretty good.

    The Card Sharks syndication was really that bad. Who hosted that version anyway?

    I would have to say the worst Fremantle Media produced game show on TV would have to be Million Dollar Password and I do not understand why CBS cancelled it after episodes were promised to be made but CBS made the mistake of cancelling it. And another thing I know why Million Dollar Password was cancelled was due to the fact that a lot of the celebrities featured on Million Dollar Password were stars of CBS shows and the only reason why I think Million Dollar Password became popular was due to the fact Betty White was the featured star. I mean Million Dollar Password was a wonderful show and Regis Philbin was such a wonderful host of it but Fremantle Media should revive Million Dollar Password with a new host and new episodes and that would really nice,

    I wish Million Dollar Password lasted longer. It was actually one of the best shows of the ones listed above. It's doing very well for GSN though

    I didn't see anything wrong with To Tell The Truth. The only problem I have was that I didn't know it existed until GSN aired it.

    One thing I can tell you that was bad about TTTT 2000 was Paula Poundstone. Watch one week with her on it, and you'll never want to watch The Waltons ever again.

    Just like a couple other of those game shows above.

    Pat Bullard. We have long since inducted him into the Ultimate Game Show Host Survivor Hall of Shame.

    ewww, I never did care for Kramer, and the "newer improved" whammy was silly!

    Sorry, TIJ, but O'Hurley played J. Peterman. Michael Richards played Kramer.

    Oh, for the love of Garry Moore, I always make that mistake!

    He was a bad Card Sharks host. But, the gameplay wasn't to bad.

    I actually prefer the game play of Whammy over Press Your Luck. I like how it starts with the contestants getting to "press their luck" one round at a time instead of a question round.

    WTH? It was awful! The only thing remotely similar was calling higher or lower. Otherwise, it looked nothing like CS '78 or CS '86.

    Ok. But the recent card sharks looks horrible compared to the Perry and Eubanks versions.
