My parents love "Wheel Of Fortune"--they watch it every night, and for some reason I find myself watching it with them even though I think it should have gone off the air years ago.

I used to like "The Price Is Right," but then Drew Carey came along. :?

I guess the only game show I really like is "Press Your Luck." They really should do an updated version of it--that would be cool. :D

Agreed about a PYL revival; the 2002 Whammy! revival GSN did was OK, but it didn't do the franchise justice, IMO.

I occassionally watch game shows. I live in the UK so we have our own versions of some of the shows I like Family Fortunes UK version of Family Feud though the UK version can be quite entertaining you always get an idiot who gives stupid answers. There is also The Chase that is on early evenings which is a quiz in which a contestant goes head to head with a professional quizzer. Pointless is another with contestants have to look for the most unobvious answers to win.

I have seen so many of those said answers on many US game show blooper shows. :D

Same here--also sometimes on the non-blooper reel that actually made it to air. :oops: :lol:

Family Fortunes did a special about 12 years ago called Family Misfortunes and it had all the best of the bad answers. Family Fortunes is still on TV with a different host now but I don't if they have shown any bad answers on the new one but the man who presents it now makes jokes about the bad answer or reacts by making out he is having a meltdown or something it can be funny

Anybody remember where in the world is Carmen Sandiego? I remember coming home from school and watching its lower-budget sister-show Where in time is Carmen Sandiego.

Great shows, they where fun and you would learn something, and let's not forget the cool songs.

Here's a bit of trivia:

Mr Moseby from Disney's the Suite life of Zack and Cody can be seen as one of the engine crew/singer/dancers from where in time is Carmen Sandiego

The host from where in time would later become one of the writer's for robot Chicken.

That's right. Kevin Schinick did a skit on Robot Chicken about WITICS, on that note.

I don't miss Jeopardy if I can help it.

I like checking out Japanese Game Shows.

Jeopardy is okay. I used to watch The Weakest Link to.

Wheel of Fortune is kind of blah.

One of my favorites was Win Ben Stein's Money.

The Weakest Link. I actually liked that one a lot.

I agree on Wheel of Fortune.

Scrabble from the 1980's had the best set, colors, and sound effects.

I like press your luck for the whammy board, not the actual questions asked.

I enjoyed million dollar money drop on FOX. Greed was amazing, one of my favorites.

Card sharks was a nice, easy game. Good set too.

I like $100,000 pyramid reruns a lot on gsn. Some of the celebrities were really good on that game. Dick Clark was awesome in everything he did on television.
