My Top 25 Game Shows

[icecream]

1. $100,000 Pyramid/$25,000 Pyramid (Dick Clark)- I have watched a lot of what GSN has aired of these shows. What I would like to see is the seasons that haven't been played, including the Dick Clark Pyramids of lesser levels. Also would be interested in seeing the version Bill Cullen hosted.
2. Grand Slam- GSN's tournament of game show champions. Sadly it was cancelled after 1 season and hasn't aired anywhere since.
3. 500 Questions- summer game show on ABC for 2 seasons. Sadly it didn't do well, audiences would rather have the trashy remakes.
4. The American Bible Challenge- despite breaking ratings records with the premiere, GSN treated it like dirt and was cancelled after 3 short seasons.
5. Greed
6. Weakest Link- liked both primetime and syndicated but preferred Anne Robinson.
7. The Chase
8. Cash Cab- new episodes coming soon!
9. 20Q- another original GSN treated like dirt. This was on their big Saturday night, had a 90 minute run time with interstitials that were not needed. It would have done better in a regular hour slot with just the show.
10. Win Ben Stein's Money- he has an almost identical name to me. This aired way back when Comedy Central was a good station, once it was cancelled they were not worth watching anymore.
11. Merv Griffin's Crosswords- I preferred this to Merv's more popular shows Wheel of Fortune and Jeopardy! Unfortunately it did not get their good timeslots and was cancelled after 2 seasons.
12. Double Dare- the game show Alex Trebek hosted before Jeopardy when he had an afro
13. The Million Second Quiz
14. Million Dollar Password
15. Blockbusters (Cullen)
16. Family Feud- Karn and O'Hurley versions only
17. Twenty One- I never saw the 50s version that had the big scandal. It was the remake on NBC around the time of Millionaire and Greed.
18. Lingo (Woolery)
19. Chain Reaction- I preferred Lane to Catherwood but would like to see the Bill Cullen version.
20. Trivia Trap
21. Who Wants to be a Millionaire- the primetime version hosted by Regis was the best. Meredith was good for a few seasons, I lost interest in the syndicated version when they made changes to the lifelines and other game play.
22. Wheel of Fortune- I have only seen the famous version but would love to see it when Chuck Woolery hosted, he was great on Greed and Lingo.
23. The Money List- the other big Saturday night show that aired with 20Q
24. Hollywood Squares- I have only seen the newer version hosted by Tom Bergeron. As a Bewitched fan who liked Uncle Arthur, would be interesting seeing Paul Lynde as the center square.
25. Jeopardy!

[NCRavensFan86]

1. Jeopardy! (overrated for #1 maybe, but I watch it everyday!)
2. Supermarket Sweep
3. Double Dare/Double Dare 2000 (Nickelodeon)
4. Greed (why did Fox cancel such a good show?)
5. The Joker's Wild (I hope the new version this fall doesn't stink!)
6. Debt (another great show that deserved a longer run)
7. Duel
8. Twenty One (much like Greed, a show whose run was far too short!)
9. Sale of The Century (Trivia + deal making = an EXCELLENT SHOW!)
10. Card Sharks (Perry & Eubanks version)
11. The Price is Right (Barker version only)
12. Win Ben Stein's Money
13. Russian Roulette
14. Friend or Foe
15. The Chase
16. Let's Make a Deal
17. Family Feud (Love Combs, Hate Dawson, everyone else is very average)
18. American Gladiators (1989-1996 version)
19. Shop til You Drop (Pat Finn Version)
20. Press Your Luck/Whammy
21. Wintuition (Similar to "Are you smarter than a 5th grader?" but without all the time wasting fluff)
22. History IQ (Aired in the early 2000's, back when you could watch the History Channel and actually learn something)
23. Carmen Santiago
24. Nick Arcade (would love to see a revival of this one)
25. Now You See It
