8. Supermarket Sweep
When you go food shopping at a grocery store, don't you just dream of running down the aisles and grabbing anything and everything that can fit in your cart? Well, that's the whole point of Supermarket Sweep, the game show where you can do a year's worth of grocery shopping in just two minutes. Hosted by sweater superstar David Ruprecht from 1990 to 1995 and again from 2000 to 2003, Supermarket Sweep pitted three teams of two in a shopping battle to end all shopping battles. In the main game, the teams earn "Sweep" time by answering grocery product based trivia questions and playing grocery product based games. The teams then use that time in "The Big Sweep" to fill their carts with the most money in merchandise. The team with the biggest total gets to run around the supermarket in search for the $5,000 grand prize.
Even though the show has not had any new episodes for 15 years, to this day, it is one of the most talked about and remembered game shows and still has a great fan base. As mentioned during the Couch Potatoes description, there is a huge 90s resurgence in today's culture, so a revival of Supermarket Sweep would be perfect. In addition, the classic game show channel Buzzr has recently introduced Supermarket Sweep as part of their daily night time line-up, so wouldn't it be fun for viewers to not only be able to watch the classic episodes, but also new episodes as well?
Supermarket Sweep appeals to all ages, from kids who race down supermarket aisles with carts while their parents aren't watching, to adults who could only imagine grabbing all the groceries they could ever need and not paying a single dime for them. It's a family-friendly show that everyone could enjoy watching together and is a great show for sponsors to feature their products on. Supermarket Sweep needs to be revived, and David Ruprecht, if you host it, please wear the sweaters!
Brad Fact: Supermarket Sweep's first version was actually broadcast on ABC back in 1965 with host Bill Malone. The show lasted for two years and traveled to real supermarkets where contestants actually won the groceries accumulated during the "Sweep."
