Future DVD releases of game show classics

There should be new-to-DVD episodes of Family Feud, Password, the CBS daytime Price is Right, and Match Game. If so, these new-to-DVD episodes will be available as part of new game show DVD box sets that Mill Creek Entertainment will create in the future.

  • All new-to-DVD episodes of Feud, Password, CBS daytime Price, and Match Game should have a full credit roll.
  • Mill Creek Entertainment will release box sets of both Jim Perry versions of Sale of the Century, both versions of Scrabble (which first aired on NBC), Password Plus, Super Password, Trivia Trap, Child's Play, Card Sharks starring Jim Perry himself, Bob Eubanks, and Bill Rafferty, Blockbusters starring Bill Cullen and Bill Rafferty, and newer Family Feud DVD box sets featuring new-to-DVD episodes of the original Richard Dawson era of Feud, as well as both Ray Combs versions that first aired from 1988-1994. The Combs versions of Feud should also be new-to-DVD. Other classic Goodson-Todman and Mark Goodson Productions game shows should also be new-to DVD as well.
In addition to Mill Creek Entertainment releasing new game show DVD box sets of Goodson-Todman/Mark Goodson Productions game shows, Sony Pictures Home Entertainment should release DVD box sets of Jeopardy! from the Alex Trebek era, featuring the same five episodes from the show's very first DVD (titled An Inside Look at America's Favorite Quiz Show) that was released in 2005, plus many more classic episodes from the 1980s and 90s (including the ones featured on the Jeopardy! Flashback section of Crackle and many with a full credit roll). In addition to new-to-DVD Jeopardy! episodes, the nighttime syndicated version of Wheel of Fortune should also be coming to DVD. All episodes of America's Game, which will be new-to-DVD, should have a full credit roll. The first DVD box set of Wheel should have 32 episodes on 4 discs in honor of its 32nd season on the air, and the first DVD box set of Jeopardy! should have 31 episodes on 4 discs in honor of its 31st season on the air. All other Wheel and Jeopardy! DVD box sets should have 30 episodes on 4 discs; each episode on each subsequent DVD box set should have a full credit roll. All the episodes on the first Jeopardy! DVD box set should have a full credit roll, except for all the episodes in the first Jeopardy! DVD from 2005.
