Little to anyone's knowledge, I am actually a huge game show fan. I was just wondering if anyone else liked game shows, and what everyone's favorite game show is.

To me, The Price is Right is freakin' classic. I could watch it for hours on end. I also like the Match Game and most of the shows on GSN are pretty good.

Lets not turn this into a "How much do today's game shows suck?" thread, because they pretty much all do.

this pretty much sums it up for me.

Price is Right is probably my all time favorite. I loved watching that shit growing up. Family Feud was cool too. I also liked most of the ones they used to show on Nick. Finders Keepers, Double Dare, Nick Arcade, Legends of the Hidden Temple, etc.

I loved "Press Your Luck" when I was a kid, just because of the Whammies.

"Remote Control" was pretty cool in it's day.

Outta all the choices today, I think I'll just take good old Jeopardy.

I can't pick just one, so in no particular order:

The Price is Right (before Drew took over)
Jeopardy
1 vs. 100
Wheel of Fortune
Press Your Luck
Family Feud (especially the Dawson era)
Nick Arcade
Finders Keepers
Double Dare
Legends of the Hidden Temple
Guts
Rock N' Roll Jeopardy
The World Series of Pop Culture
The (insert money amount here) Pyramid
The Match Game

If I have to pick one, I'm gonna go with Jeopardy, because it's the most fun to play along with.

I'll add Comedy Central's trio of Beat the Geeks, Win Ben Stein's Money, and Versus to the list. Syd mentioned most of the ones I liked.

This is for the most part an identical list to mine including Jeopardy at number one. So rather than listing all those, I'll just take yours and add Scrabble Card Sharks and Classic Concentration.

MXC is fucking awesome.

MXC, and I wouldnt count that as a game show, but some people might.

I love Jeopardy because its a smart show, and Wheel is nothing but an infomercial now, and the puzzles are WAY too easy.

Most of the golden age 1970s-1980s shows are classic. Match Game is great.

I have to go with Sathien. Beat the Geeks was the best trivia show ever, especially for pop culture junkies like us.

IF MXC counts, then add in Ninja Warrior!

Win Ben Stein's Money and Beat The Geeks were both fantastic.

This just reminded me of something. Do any of you remember a show called The Grudge Match?

Never heard of it.. I did like the early seasons of Battle Dome before they did a little WCW Invasion angle.
