Just curious if there is a game show now that is really great to tune into day after day or week after week?

Right now, easily "Jeopardy!" (with TPIR coming in a close second)

I can't give you much of an answer,but all I can say is I've taken a quick look at some of the modern game shows,and they're terrible.You could not pay me to watch them,and I like good game shows.Similair to modern tv shows,modern game shows are rubbish.And whatever happenned to good game show hosts,aside from a few that have been in the business for many years,the people that host these new game shows do not even belong in front of a camera.But hey,that's modern television for you.

Here are some that are worth watching day after day(and some,week after week):Weekiday:1)"Jeopardy!" 2)"Wheel of Fortune"(wish they'd offer more prizes like dining/living room /bedroom sets ,boats,etc.as "Prize Puzzles"and during the bonus round,instead of just cash ,trips and cars-Other than that ,it's a great,fun gams show,)3)"Who Wants to Be A Millionaire?"(Yes,I know,Regis can't be beat as host.But Meredith Viera does a good job)4)ABC's new "You Deserve It"iis weekly, new,and well worth watching.5)"The Price is Right"is also good.Although Drew Carey is no Bob Barker,he does a great job as host.As for the rest of the game shows,"Let's Make A Deal" and "Family Feud"(with Steve Harvey as host),they are NOTHING like the originals,or,in "Feud's"case,nothing like when John O'Hurley,Richard Karn,the late Ray Coombs,Richard Dawson or even (UGH!)Louie Anderson were hosts.Forget about them.

I only watch jeopardy and millionaire. Many of the new shows are so slow and drawn out. they need to move faster.

Honestly, I dont watch game shows anymore. I just keep forgetting there on. I even forget to watch the Price is Right which is an all time favorite of mine. Why I dont watch it, I dont know but I should. I still think they should bring back Supermarket Sweep or Classic Concentration.

I tend to like shows where you learn something. Shows such as Let's make a Deal only hold me so long.
