It was moved, so this is just a repeat.

Cool, when you merged these, you can actually re-post the posts so they're in the right order.

I didn't know there were only 4 games shows ever made.

Of those, I like Jeopardy! ... Although my all time favorite has to be Greed, FOX's attempt to cash in on the Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? craze. The show's later questions were ingenious -- given six or more options and a question, find the four that are correct. Fun to watch.

Game shows are great, especially when they pick a wrong answer and you're shouting at the TV screen "That's WRONG! YOU'RE SO STUPID!!!!!"
I like all kinds of Game Shows, like Win Ben Stein's Money, Match Game, and whatever else comes on GSN. I don't really feel like voting for one right now though.

Family Feud went from very good to completely pointless back to pretty good again.

Basically, the older versions of the show were good, and entertaining. When UPN tried to bring it back, intially, it was terrible, partly because Louie Anderson was a terrible host, but moreso because, without exception, the family who won the Triple round at the end won the game regardless of what happened in the THREE rounds before it. I've seen it happen many a time: a family wins the first three rounds and loses the game because the #1 answer of the triple round had 78 replies and picking it made the round worth more than the other three combined. Later versions of the show put the double round back, like it SHOULD have been, and I thought Richard Karn was a better host than Louie Anderson.

Of course, the best part of Family Feud is watching people give absolutely ridiculous responses to questions. Some from nerves/pressure, some just because the contestant isn't the brightest lightbulb in the studio. I remember one particular Fast Money instance where the question was "Name an animal with a 3 letter name (dog? cat? emu?)" and the responses were "alligator" and "frog". No, really.

What I can't believe is that only 2 people like the price is right. How can you say that?
I love that show. In fact, my life-long dream is to be on that show.

Awesome! I'm smart, eccentric, and can be funny under the right circumstances. And I'll be rich enough once my career as an actuary pans out. Ok, not Ben Stein rich, but whatever.

My favorite has to be the guy who answered "Turkey" on three successive questions on the British version of Family Feud. It was funny because the first answer was notably bad, but the next two questions actually made sense with Turkey as an answer. Hahaha.

As for Price is Right, a simple formula for determining your likelihood of getting selected for the show is:

1/m if you are in one of the eight largest groups of people with the same shirt on, m = the number of people in your group
1/n if you are not, n = the number of people in the audience who are not in such a group

Since m is likely to be much smaller than n, I recommend you bring about 20 or so friends and make a cheap T-shirt about the benefits of spaying and neutering your pets before you go. Favorite Price is Right clip ever was someone bidding on something, I'm not sure what it was, but I think its value was between 1000-1500, and this old lady bids "7 thousand 5-o-3"

"Are you sure you dn't mean seven HUNDRED fifty three?"

"No. 7 thousand 5-o-3."

MXC is a good show to watch, although I can do without the attempts to be funny in the dubbing. I'd like to see a correctly dubbed (or better, subtitled) version of the show that those clips are taken from, though. THAT would be hilarious. Like almost every Japanese game show.

I saw the same thing happen last week on "The Price Is Right Million Dollar Spectacular" (well maybe it was a little different...but it was close enough) where this one person was bidding on a showcase that was around 90,000 dollars and she bid about 60some thousand dollars.Sadly she lost :(

Na, they're two completely different things... to me, at least.

Bidding, say, $65,000 on a $90,000 showcase is about as bad, proportionally, as an $18,000 bid on a $25,000 showcase. Which happens more often than it should.

My example is like someone bidding $500,000 on the showcase you mentioned.

But, ya, terrible, terrible guesses can be hilarious sometimes.

Hollywood Squares are funny.  I don't like The Price is Right because I was rooting for Happy Gilmore in that fight.  I watch Jeopardy sometimes, and the only fun part is when you actually know an answer to one of the questions, which doesn't happen that often for me... mostly because I haven't watched it in a while.  I also used to like that Nickelodeon game show, Figure It Out.  Back when I was younger and they aired that show.

I love The Price Is Right.  It's why I wake up before 2:00 during days off.  I'll usually watch Jeopardy! during dinner.  I like it a lot more now that I can get the questions right more often.  Before, when all the information went over my head and I was younger, I liked Wheel Of Fortune just because I knew the letters of the alphabet.  So much easier.  Not that I don't know the letters now...  Family Fued is pretty good, more now with Richard Karn.  And then there's something about seeing fools getting bent and bruised, then thrown in mud that just makes me smile.

What I don't like about Jeopardy! is the fact that none of the 2nd and 3rd place contestants don't get to keep their earnings. They're only given about 1,000-2,000 dollars (which'll just turn into airfare if you don't live in California) and gloating rights.

Now, Wheel of Fortune, though easier, everyone gets to keep their earnings, and if a person who scored 3rd place won a trip in one of the rounds, they still are going to go on that trip.

What about Distraction? I love that show, expecially when a contestant has to blow up one of their prizes if they get a question wrong. But the whole idea behind that show is hillarious anyways; annoy people profusley why they try to answer questions.

I saw this one where they had to answer while pidgeons with the runs were in cages with big holes on the bottom, right above them. Then later, if they got a question right, they had to shock their mom. Quite the show.
