Game Show Garbage - Wait Til You Have Kids

- This is the first video of the 2018-2019 arc for Game Show Garbage: The Worst Of The Family Channel, where we will be highlighting no less than 3 of the channel's worst examples when it comes to game shows. We start off with one of the four game shows that premiered on September 30th, 1996 and the one with the worst premise. Take three couples and give them dilemmas about raising a child and having the answers being given by a "child psychologist"...at least for the first 40 episodes. I give you Wait Til You Have Kids.
Ignore the 2nd graphic during the end credits, I forgot to add the pithy line regarding the December induction of The Riddlers.

To say Ellen Winters didn't know diddlysquat would be a gross understatement. My jaw straight up fell to the floor listening to her "advice".
Ha! Me too! Warn a little girl that shevwould be sent to her room until her own party is over! That is bullshit! And thinking it is a problem when a little boy cries when his soccer team loses?! Give me a fucking break!
@@jwgreek8606 It could have been worse, they could have hired one of those "Focus on the Family" dingalings. You'd expect that from a Christian network.
Yup I remember this...now this show would have even lasted into the Fox Family era if and only if A) they didn't hire Ellen Winters, B) they didn't have that horrific set, and C) actually fixed the game play. I mean literally look up and watch the Parent Game from 1972 and you'll see the difference from night and day.
I had no idea that Wait 'til You Have Kids!! existed until now. After watching this, I can see why.
James Dobson wasn't available?
Yup. This show stunk! Not to mention they wore out the NBC canned audience. track.
WtYHK could've been better if they had Marilyn Kagan, along with the 2nd set and theme music, from the get go, and the 5-week hiatus definitely didn't help matters any!
What I would have done is to instead of the psychologist being the deciding factor, take out the videos, and make it into a survey based game where they polled people as to what they would do (a la Family Feud) and then have the contestants pick which they thought would be the most popular answer based on who they polled. They could have the audience add to the score of any answer, and the endgame be what the audience alone thought. This could add a bit of an interesting dynamic as you're also seeing how people think when and if they ever raise a child, and what kind of parents can be out there. Scoring could also be done by judging of if the majority of the audience vote matched the majority of the polled vote, and if that happened, then they could get more points that way than if they only hit the popular polled vote. Admittedly that brings in some luck to the format, but also some interesting discussions about raising kids. You also take the whole "what are the religious beliefs of this psychologist" out of the equation, as well.
By the way, just for those that were not aware yet, Pat Robinson OWNED The Family Channel, IIRC, before selling most of the actual channel to FOX, who then sold it to Disney. The channel is known as Freeform now, and The 700 Club is only still aired there because of how iron clad their contract with Robinson is and always has been.
This show lasted until 1997 when it was rebranded to Fox Family.
In the closing credits of another episode online, the credits indicate Gary Jonke created this show. This is the same person who created 1972's Parent Game. Another re-tooled game show that bombed.
This somehow was remiscent of the parent game. It actually was made right when Clark Race hosted the program. There wasn't no child therapist but the answers were given anyway. If there was a real therapist, the show would've been a big hit
4:30PM
You mention the Card Sharks pilot from '97 and the MG2 pilot from '96 as not being seen as of the recording of this video. Well, guess what? We got them now. And... I'm gonna take a wild stab in the dark and say there may be some GSG worthy material in them for the future.
The typeset used in the show logo is _very_ similar, if not dead-on, to the typeset used in _The Simpsons_ logo.
Well just so ya know, The Family Channel was originally known as the CBN Satellite Network when it was 24/7 Religion and then it was renamed the CBN Cable Network and they showed Classic Game Shows and Classic TV Series from Tic Tac Dough to BULLSEYE to Blockbusters to Card Sharks to Face the Music to Name That Tune to Let's Make a Deal to GO to even Hot Potato and then, in 1988, that's when CBN Cable Network was renamed The Family Channel and then in 1998, it was renamed Fox Family and in 2001, it was renamed abc family and now, it's FreeForm
Interesting history. I remember CBN in the 1980’s where they had “Treasure Hunt”, “Bullseye”, “Face The Music” and “Name That Tune.”. I remember them since I was a kid.
I remember watching this show. Tom Parks, who really was best known for the Shoney’s commericals, wasn’t too bad of a host. But they could had made some changes to the show after the 1st week. Getting rid of Dr. Ellen Winters was probably the best idea of the entire run. Dr. Marilyn Kagan, who was a talk show host and actually did some acting(look up Foxes w/ Jodie Foster & Scott Baio), should had been the choice from the beginning. The 2nd set should had been there for the entire series. If it was me, I could had done a Child’s Play meets Juvenile Jury format
He did Not Necessarily the News before that.
@@jwgreek8606 I actually didn’t know that. I appreciate that
Robert Irvine at least fit Food Network's desire for "unconventional" personalities. If I remember the _From Scratch_ book correctly, Irvine got his show by walking up to a Food Network executive, rattling his credentials, and pulling - in essence - "HEY YOU! GIMME A SHOW!" Irvine isn't the only Food Network personality to suffer a possibly-career-destroying scandal (see: David Ruggerio, Paula Deen), but he recovered.
Ellen Winters, by comparison, was incidental to a channel bulking up its original content to lessen its reliance on outside acquired content. I hope Bob Boden's rationale for green-lighting this wasn't "give the Robertsons what they want, maybe slide a LITTLE edge under the table".
At least Irvine isn't Retchel Ray or Gi Fyuree
Ike resmebles Robin Williams
OMG I'd forgotten about this. I'm rather glad I did.
One of Jay Wolpert's biggest blemishes.
Even the name of the show makes me want to rant
Hey Cyndi, I've noticed that you've done you're own How Would I Play It about this show and I was wondering (even though it probably isn't your style) if you could do a separate video on your gameplay proposal for Wait Til You Have Kids. IOW, your own How Would I Play It, for I just couldn't see how to tinker this show myself.
5:15 "to hell with him. Literally, if there is one, he is certain to go to hell."
Also, doesn't this remind ya of Child's Play? (The game show)
That fake expert, Ellen Winters, is a nutjob. In this episode I linked ( ua-cam.com/video/gkItN7N0z1E/v-deo.html ) she actually think it's OK to force a child to go to college when they're not ready just because it's Harvard! I know too many people (myself included) who went to college too early and ended up with no degree and lots of debt! No wonder so many people complained. I disagreed with every answer she said!
I used to live near Pat Robertson’s hometown of Virginia Beach. 🤮
Shit even when i was ready to go to college i was not cut out for it!
This series is a ripoff of Chuck Barris's "The Parent Game" (1972-73).
Ironic, considering Gary Jonke was the mastermind behind both shows.
And looking back, I can see why a great big phony like Ellen Winters got replaced with Marilyn Kagan.
The only good thing was they fired ellen n revamped the set
Mike Skumanick whatever happened to the fake child psychologist?
when the family channel had standouts like Shopping Spree & Shop ‘til you Drop (shows I’ve grew up on) you never think about the two others because they were the junk shows
I can say that the set for the first 40 shows is indeed bad. It makes “Bzzz” beautiful imo. The set change was an improvement (modeled similar to the 96 Newlywed Game w/Gary Kroeger)
Even if i was old enough to remember shows like that and actually see it, i would’ve not watched it much.
You know...this show makes That's my Dog (both the US, and UK versions) seem good.
This was a black mark on Jay Wolpert's resume. I liked his shows, Rodeo Drive, Whew! and Shopping Spree. But, this was his only bad show. If they'd stuck with the second set, it would have lasted longer.
The host, eh....i've never heard of him. But, he tried his best given what he had to work with.
If I was Jay Wolpert, I'd just fix the scoring system to make the game fair, kept the second set and the second lady, and we'd be just fine.
The clips do remind me of Kids Say the Darndest Things (with Bill Cosby) and that 2 year old girl right here on UA-cam.
The host is Tom Parks from Not Necessarily the News with Pyramid Panelists Anne Bloom and Stuart Damon
He also appeared on The All New Star Studded Match Game on abc with Ross Shafer

The review doesn't mention The Parent Game, but anyway it's always problematic to base a game show around someone else's idea of parenting advice. And there was a conservative slant when Ellen Winters was on. In the first episode one of the dilemmas focused on a girl who wanted to join the boy scouts (and was considered a feminist because she opted for wood shop instead of home ec), and Ellen's advice was to tell her not to fight it because "it's who you are, not what you belong to." So discrimination is okay?
I saw the Season 2 episode of WTYHK with her parenting expert, Marilyn Kagan! Anyone have a full season 2 episode? Comment me!
At least they didn't have the Reverend Dobson as their parenting expert. I wouldn't put it past a conservative Christian network.
Ha! Don't get me started ob that guy!
@@jwgreek8606 In the first episode the "expert's" answer for a girl wanting to join the boy scouts was to discourage her because "it's who you are, not what you belong to." They even had the girl named Gloria and had her prefer wood shop over home ec, it seemed like a cheap shot at feminism.
I remember the last two great years of The Family Channel (1996-1998) well, growing up in rural Maryland my Dad had installed a then state of the art "Directv" dish in our backyard. I was just 10 years old when "WTYHK" premiered, I watched the afternoon gameshow block everyday along with "Rescue 911" reruns. I hope you cover "Wild Animal Games" and "The Family Challenge" on future videos.
I wonder if Baby Races deserves an induction.
@@donaldpaluga I wonder if any tapes of Maximum Drive exist?
So far, the only tape of Maximum Drive that I'm sure exists now is the final episode, the Grand Champions episode.
I like the Riddlers pilot, Cyndi! Watch how you review it, it was genuinely funny despite its flaws imho. Imagine if Letterman had gone into game shows full time...
