Home Shopping Game
The Home Shopping Game was a short-lived American television game show that aired in syndication during the summer of 1987 and blended the popularity of home shopping (such as HSN) with word-identification challenges. It was syndicated nationally, but failed to attract enough viewers to remain on the air beyond its initial 13-week summer run.
Veteran game show host Bob Goen was the emcee; Bob Circosta, who was the first ever host on the Home Shopping Network, served as announcer/co-host, and Debbie Bartlett was the female model and assistant. Taped at the studios of HSN affiliate KHSC in Ontario, California, the show was produced in association with MCA Television.
