	Nobody expects the Sporcle Inquisition!

	If Are You Smarter Than a Congressman was a real show, they'd be broke before the first season ended.

	I've heard of every one of these game shows except Strip Poker. Wiki research shows that it was only shown in certain markets.

	Watching that Strip Poker game show back in the day, I learned that a lot of women actually wear four skirts at a time, five bras, seven pairs of underwear, and so on. That was some show..

	I remember watching it a few times. I think it was hosted by one of the Zappas if memory serves.

	5 globes for the UHF reference alone.

	I may have said this before because I've had this thought for a while, but one of the admins here (or anyone really if they can get permission) needs to contact GSN and start a game show based on Sporcle. I'm serious. The whole concept fits perfectly... timer, endless amount of categories. It could work like this: A contestant (or a team of two) are given a category, they get timed, and they ramble off things in it OUT LOUD as the timer goes and whatever they say shows up on the "big board", and how much they get determines the winnings and some special bonus if they clear it. A few elements of Pyramid and Family Feud, but actually completely original for a game show (aside from it being based off this site).

	UHF has been showing up in a pleasantly surprising number of published quizzes lately.

	Match Game! loved that show. And now I love all the old shows even more on GSN now that they are captioned! Great game!

	Strip Poker was real. USA aired it.

	Just a query, how many strikes for a heart valve? Or is it spares for spares?

	BonnieH:	Feb 19th, 2013 at 10:48 GMT		3 points
	I got all but one. Yes, I used to be a game show addict.

	Regarding the publisher note under this quiz on the home page of Sporcle, I wouldn't mind watching an episode or two of "Homonym".

	After the first 16, I was just guessing, and started picking the ones I wish were game shows. Probably not a good strategy.

	"Card sharks! Great show!"

	For those unfamiliar with "Queen for a Day', no, it was not an early version of Ru Paul's Drag Race. No, it was worse. Three desperate women, for reason of poverty or health, pled their cases in front of a nationwide audience, and the one with the most pitiful sob story got an appliance or clothes. The other two? Squat. Nada. Naturally, it ran for years.

	I remember Strip Poker. Game was such a tease. The women would wear tons of layers of clothes and if they lost they didn't even go all the way. Weak.

	I almost clicked on Name that Vegetable, until I remembered the actual game show is Name That Fruit...and it's possible that Jasper Fforde's Thursday Next series might not be real. But I refuse to believe that.

	Oh...a red snapper...very tasty!

	"Jeopardy!" has an exclamation mark as part of the name.
