And the final "Jeopardy!" answer is, "It was named the top TV game show by the editors of AOL Television." Please remember to phrase your response in the form of a question. No, the correct response is not, "What is 'Jeopardy!?' " That brainy game show was edged out in the AOL Television top-20 list by "The Price is Right," with original host Bill Cullen, longtime host Bob Barker and current host, Cleveland native Drew Carey.

"Jeopardy!" was No. 2, followed by "Wheel of Fortune," "What's My Line?", "Let's Make a Deal," "The Match Game," "The Newlywed Game," "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire," "Twenty-One," "Hollywood Squares," "The Dating Game," "Family Feud," "Password," "Love Connection," "Truth or Consequences," "$25,000 Pyramid," "Win Ben Stein's Money," "Queen for a Day," "Name That Tune" and "Deal or No Deal."

Notable shows missing from the list: "Concentration," "College Bowl," "To Tell the Truth," "I've Got a Secret" and, of course, Groucho Marx's "You Bet Your Life."

It makes sense that "Price is Right" would be at the top. It's such a classic!

Yeah, Price is Right definitely deserves to be #1 on the list - it's been on the air for 36 straight seasons. I'm glad the show still holds up as #1 today with Drew as host.

Agreed, Julie! :cool: Even with Drew Carey hosting, I think TPIR is still fun to watch every morning that I can do so, with all the great cars and prizes given away. Hooray!

Love Connection and Deal or No Deal do not belong on this list!

It really is - I think I watch it more now with Drew than I did with Bob. No matter what version, though, it's still a fun show to watch every morning, and it sure beats watching The View! :lol:
