Five hour-long specials aired by VH 1 from May 21-June 18, 2005 consisting of Game Show footage from the Fremantle Media archives. During each show was a "Top 5" countdown, presented by such notables as Chuck Woolery and Ed McMahon.
Oh, you want us to list the games included? Yeah, why not...

- Childs Play (American and UK children)
- Distraction (UK only)

Tropes used in Game Show Moments Gone Bananas include:
- Loads And Loads Of Game Shows: A staggering 34 Fremantle-owned games are seen across the five episodes, some of which are their only face time in years...or at all (and especially when the specials reran on GSN).
