Faux tweeted a while back about college radio station WSIN running a 24-hour marathon of 24 game show re-enactments April 27-28. It's for charity, and the station has released a rap video (at least I think it's supposed to be rap) on YouTube about the marathon. The Price is Right theme will never be the same.
The video includes glimpses of twenty-three American and British shows. Don't ask me what happened to number 24, or even if the shows on the video will feature in the marathon. But for what it's worth, the list...
Family Feud, Millionaire, Blockbusters, You Don't Say, Countdown, Chain Reaction, Jeopardy, Pointless, Power of 10, 25K Pyramid, High Rollers, Win Lose or Draw, Mastermind, Card Sharks, Concentration, Deal or No Deal, Press Your Luck, Password, Just a Minute, Would I Lie To You, Wheel of Fortune, Million Dollar Mind Game, Three on a Match
Maybe TPiR is the twenty-fourth show. After all, its theme music gets mangled in the rap parody.
An eclectic list, to say the least. I guess black and white shows rest in peace, because What's My Line and I've Got a Secret are nowhere to be seen. But Power of 10? Um, okay.
UPDATE: In a comment, Aaron the game show blogger says that The Big Showdown is the 24th show, not TPiR. As I said for Power of 10...The Big Showdown? Um, okay.
UPDATED UPDATE: Carrie Grosvenor posts on the marathon at About.com.
