Since FremantleMedia produced the series, all clips were from programs that they produced or owned the rights to, including all Mark Goodson-Bill Todman and Reg Grundy productions. Thus, programs like The Newlywed Game and Hollywood Squares, which had been featured on similar game-show retrospectives, were not featured. The Price Is Right, which had been absent from other shows, was featured.
Also notable by their absence were the Jack Narz and Alex Trebek versions of Concentration, despite being produced by Goodson-Todman. This is presumably due to NBC's ownership and the fact that the format was merely licensed to the company.
The specials also featured rare and never-before-seen clips from the FremantleMedia archives, including the 1975 pilot of Showoffs hosted by Larry Blyden, a 1989 pilot of the ABC Match Game hosted by Bert Convy, and the 1972-1977 nighttime syndicated version of The Price is Right hosted by Dennis James.

Famous quotes containing the word shows:
“The hood-winked husband shows his anger, and the word jealous is flung in his face. Jealous husband equals betrayed husband. And there are women who look upon jealousy as synonymous with impotence, so that the betrayed husband can only shut his eyes, powerless in the face of such accusations.”
—J. August Strindberg (1849–1912)
