One which comes to my mind is "What's My Line?" (1950-1967), lots of topical references, lots of dated jobs (the 1950s episodes have a lot of girdle salesmen and such), lots of women in their best mid-century dresses.
What are some other historically interesting game shows?

One which comes to my mind is "What's My Line?" (1950-1967), lots of topical references, lots of dated jobs (the 1950s episodes have a lot of girdle salesmen and such), lots of women in their best mid-century dresses. What are some other historically interesting game shows? For me it would definitely have to be " The Price Is Right " - specifically the revival show after 1972 . What I find interesting after 45 years is that a lot of the games on this show are still the same now as it was back then . Some have gone completely digital of course where others haven't changed at all since 1972 - especially like the huge $ 1.00 spinning wheel before the the final showcase . The big turning point for me with this show too was Bob Barker's very last episode which made me very sad . Of course his replacement show host Drew Carey was a hopeful and pleasant surprise for me to continue watching and enjoying this show as I always had before . Thanks so much Wolf-Swordsman for this fun & nostalgic subject post .

The Australian version of Blankety Blanks in the 70's/early 80's with Graham Kennedy the humour was pretty risque and would not have been allowed at all now.
Also Sale of the Century, swimsuit clad female models in the gift shop regardless of what the items were. Contestants being led out by models in evening dress wear. I can't see that kind of formality and touch of glamour being allowed today either.

Match Game and Tattletales, both of which are featured on Buzzr.
