Anybody watch game shows anymore?

I'm a big fan of game shows, but I don't have cable anymore so I don't watch them. I used to, though.

That said, I'm really only a fan of the original version of any given show, and if it has been redone it can go die in a fire with burning and murder.

FOR EXAMPLE

Press Your Luck = gooooood. Peter Tomarken is was the king of the Big Board. I'd watch that version all day long.

Whammy the whatever who gives a squirrel turd: BAD. Electronic board, slickly animated Whammies, and a stupid host with a smile that makes you want to punch his lights out? Passola on that garbage.

The Price Is Right is the same way. I have nothing against Drew Carey, but I just cannot watch TPIR anymore now that Bob Barker isn't at the helm. It ain't the same.

Thank the dark lord Satan that Pat Sajak still runs Wheel of Fortune. Dude had better be doing that until he's a hundred and three. I want him to die of old age as he does the final spin.

Ditto for Jeopardy!

I like a couple "new" game shows, too. Lingo is boss and I have seriously considered going on it because I would win (I pretty much always do). Millionaire was cool when Regis was hosting, now it's that one girl who sucks and is not Regis, so Millionaire gets the shunaroonie from me.

Same with Weakest Link. When it was the one evil lady it was good. Now it's... not her. Ew.

Oh yeah, Family Feud. The new version of that really makes me want to behead some puppies or something. Family Feud only should be hosted by Richard Dawson and in every episode he has to kiss ALL OF THE WOMEN OR IT IS NOT THE FEUD.

So yeah, that's my miniature rant on game shows. Leave the oldies alone. Take your 1 vs 100 and and and Survivor or whatever and Chain Reaction (another good game) and make up your own games. STOP KILLING THE CLASSICS, YOU TWITS.

That is all. One love.
 
Do I watch game shows? Absolutely not. However, reality shows like Big Brother and Survivor are in a totally different realm and are amazing. They test your skills of strength along with intelligence. Don't be surprised if you see me in the Big Brother house when I am finally 21! :D
 
I watch a few game shows, but only on occasion. A few examples are Jeopardy and The Price is Right.
 
Would "Whose Line is it Anyway?" count as a game show? Because if it does, then that's my all-time favorite. (Though I haven't been as loyal a watcher as I should be for such a great show.)

When I didn't have a job and spent most of my time online, I watched a lot of Wheel of Fortune and Jeopardy, since they aired after the news program my mom liked to watch on the television next to this computer.

I've always wanted to see The Price is Right, but I've never seen a single commercial advertising it, so I have no clue what time or channel it airs on. So thanks to their lack of advertising here, I've never seen a single episode. xP
 
Oh man oh man so many. I will game shows for like 6 hours straight some days, my favorites are the weakest link (kind of a no brain best show ever invented), deal or no deal sometimes... who wants to be a millionaire. Anything that plays on GSN I have probably seen more than 6 episodes of.
 
@ Xous: The Price is Right airs on CBS @ 11 am EST. Subtract a hour for every westward time zone.
 
I've stopped watching Deal or No Deal, since it just bores me now. First of all there aren't any models much and the people can't really win a million dollars. I only watch the show sometimes if there is nothing coming on TV. I tend to watch more Who Wants to be a Millionaire, I have been watching that for a long time. Though the game show that stays on top of my list is The Price is Right, just enjoy watching that show.
