Fandango (1983– ) User Reviews

Not the movie ticket place!

I remember Fandango when it aired on then The Nashville Network back in the eighties. It was followed by a comedy show set in Nashville as well. I remember this game show but I never did master it because you needed to know the names of songs especially country songs. Gone are those days when country music was actual country music. I don't know much about the new country music today because I think it's like our pop music. THe sound is a little different but it's not that much different. Fandango was truly the jeopardy for country music fans. My sister made me watch this show instead of anything else on television at the time. I think Country Music Television should have something like this back on the air but I don't have COuntry Music Television and the Nashville Network has become The National Television Network and most recently Spike television, the lifetime channel for men. But during the TNN days, this show was quite entertaining even if you were a kid who had seen all the reruns of other shows.

I was on this show!

I was a fan of this show and would have been even if I had not had the thrill of being a contestant. I filmed in November of 1985 and aired in March and May of 1986. Not to toot my own horn (much), but I was the youngest (and only the 2nd female) to win the grand prize and to be a 5-day undefeated champion. My grand prize was a camper, which I, as a college freshman and future bride, had to sell to buy a car. I won over $8000 in prizes (love those Creamettes macaroni noodles and Liquid Plum'r).

This was a great show and I loved the celebrity editions. Naomi Judd was a contestant before she was a celebrity.
