Canceled Game Shows Poll #3

Wednesday November 26, 2008
It's that time again! The weekly canceled game shows poll this week might make you stretch your memory just a little bit. Some of the options weren't huge hits, but they made an impression one way or the other. For example, Remote Control was MTV's first foray into non-musical programming. And we all know how far that's gone now, don't we? Plus, it featured folks like Adam Sandler and Denis Leary. How could that go wrong?

For those of us old enough (and perhaps anal enough) to know the difference, It's Your Chance of a Lifetime can refer to both that title and the $1,000,000 Chance of a Lifetime - if the votes are there for those shows, I'll do a second poll to determine which one moves forward.

In last week's poll, I was really happy to see Show Me the Money fare so well. I always got the impression that I was one of the only ones who really loved that game, and it's nice to see I'm not alone! Other top contenders are Supermarket Sweep and Hollywood Squares - no surprises there.

Remember, you can select as many choices as you'd like to, but only the top three will move on. Older polls are still open, so feel free to go back and have your say in those as well: We'll keep these going each week until we move back in time to the 1950s, and then start taking the top three titles from each poll to battle each other for cancelled game show supremacy! If you have suggestions for shows you'd like to see included, or just want to reminisce about the "good old days," the comments section is always open.
