Editorial Review: Amazon.com: The latter-day success of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? should've come as little surprise; game shows have been a successful TV staple since the medium's beginnings. Most have relied on brief, catchy (or should we say kitschy?) theme songs to give them their instantly memorable musical identity. Devotees of exotica and American cultural kitsch will want to make note of this collection, which gathers some 20 themes from across the genre's, er, rich history, from Bert Kaempfert's Match Game mind taffy to the infectious early electro synth-pop bop of Perrey and Kingsley's The Joker's Wild to the trashy Dixieland-cum-vaudeville charms of Chuck Barris's The Gong Show. Fans and anthropologists, take note: all are the original themes in their complete, unexpurgated glory and feature a concise, illustrated annotation of both their origins and the genre's history. --Jerry McCulley Customer Reviews Average Rating:

Although a few songs are clearly the "original versions as heard on TV" as advertised on the cover, at least as many are re-orchestrations. Maybe this wouldn't hold up as false advertising in a court of law, but they ... Read More Rating:  - Roll the dice! It's paradise!This was the second volume of game show themes released by Varese Sarabande, in conjunction with Game Show Network. It's a real treasure trove for fans of game shows.
