I guess they stuck in my mind, though, because sheesh- I was all into being a host in that dream! I knew I had a big smile on my face and was all enthusiastic, greeting the guests! 
Oh, but there was one I loved when I was a really little girl. I think it was called Hollywood Squares? Does that ring a bell for you, Nammu? I remember thinking that one was fun, kind-of dazzling, and everyone seemed so happy. |
Hollywood squares was hard for me because it was so non sequitur. They couldn’t always frame the speaker so I could read lips. So I couldn’t always follow the conversation. But I did like it once close captioning started. There’s a game channel that shows old episodes and they are now captioned. Another good easy going one with a lot of dialogue is match game. Betty white was on that a lot. She was wonderful on any game show. My sister and I compete to see who can answer the most jeopardy questions. It’s all fun.
