I recognize a lot of these '80s el cheapo-made Canadian game shows
("Love Me, Love Not", "Supermarket Sweep" [Canadian version], "Bumper
Stumpers", "Jokes On Us", "Lingo" [Canadian version], etc.). I always
said there's a large quantity of this sitting on the shelf; most made
by and for Global. But these game shows are obviously too "low budget"
for GSN to pick up. So it's good they have a home on Game TV. Cancon
(Canadian content quota rules) will require them to dust them off.
