It was a game show on GSN called Inquizition. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inquizition I was close. I made it through 3 or 4 rounds (telephone). I then got a call from them asking me a bunch of questions. I was excited...I knew I was close. That's when they told me the winner only gets like 500 bucks and the only people who should bother are those already traveling to LA for other reasons. I said fuck it and hung up. It has to be the only game show that offered such low amounts of money...I finally understood why they didn't mention money on there. I really liked the show and I probably should've done it anyway. Like you, I was beating the contestants on there just about every time I watched. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wheel of Fortune will always hold a spot in me heart though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wheel of Fortune will always hold a spot in me heart though. I loved game shows when I was a kid... Joker's Wild, Family Feud, 25k Pyramid, Press Your Luck, Wheel of Fortune with Chuck Woolery as host, etc. Got back into them in the late 90s when the GSN appeared. It was nothing but ancient game show reruns. They finally started doing new shows, Inquizition one of the first. Probably why the prize money was so low...they were running on low budgets. Used to love my grandma's bitching and moaning if you watched any at her house..."What the hell you watching hundred year old game shows for?!?" She had a point...they were playing shit like Family Feud from the mid 70s and the Price Is Right from the 50s when it was an entirely different show. Of course game shows exploded in popularity with Who Wants To Be A Millionaire and Greed. Greed is the show I should've tried out for. Awesome game. I just liked the low key, no bullshit vibe of Inquizition. If I could go back, I wouldn't hang up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nickelodeon moved to Orlando so they could use kids traveling through Universal Studios with their families as unpaid talent Always laughed when the grand prize on Double Dare or whatever was a trip to Universal Studios.

That's one thing I won't fuck with, I try to stay away from DIY stuff that could kill me and others if I screw up. I did however fix my gas furnace by using a Youtube video for directions, that was kinda hairy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
