Jeopardy. Because it is.

I'd say the best is either Who Wants to Be a Millionaire or Win Ben Stein's Money. Why? Win Ben Stein's Money is just plain funny, and Who Wants to Be a Millionaire....I just happen to like it.

Sometimes I watch Family Feud whenever I am flipping through channels and it just happens to be on.

Bring back Greed. Someone. Those "Pick the 4 correct answers from the list" questions were awesome. My only qualm with it was that it was far too slow.

I also like Jeopardy!. It is one of the few game shows out nowadays which actually requires KNOWLEDGE to do well in.

Does MXC count as a game show? If so chalk one up for Vic and Ken.

But on and on the Eggman went.

MXC is a dubbed version of a Japanese game show. The dubbing has nothing to do with the original commentary.

I concur, though. MXC is very entertaining.

Takeshi's Castle, the original Japanese show is called, right?

And personally, I don't really like the commentary much at all.  I'm more of the sadistic, just-watch-the-people-get-hurt type.

Which never compels me to watch the show, but I don't regret watching when I do.

Those Japanese people either have a great sense of fun or a messed up sense of everything else if they go on a show like that where the prizes are zilch.

Definitely MXC.

I hate the English commentators. It ruins the humor of the rest of the show.

As for best game show, Jeopardy, probably.

I HATE the English commentators with a fiery passion on MXC.

Wheee, Jeopardy, a game show where you pick boring trivia questions from categories to win that much money. No strategy other than having your head filled with useless facts. You might as well be watching the History channel for god's sake! At least Wheel of Fortune's got some good luck involved(you can tell Jeopardy don't got much, *cough*Ken Jennings godlike winning spree*cough*. How fun is it to watch one guy win all the time? I heard he did finally lose one though.), and Whammy's like playing a video game, with speed and luck and only a little trivia involved. I like that one.

I dislike the presence of luck in game shows. That having been said, Wheel of Fortune should not be luck. What I mean is, after your first spin, you should NEVER get a bankrupt because you can at least time your spin to stay away from the bankrupt spaces. And there was that one guy who timed the original Press Your Luck...

Still, the contestants on those types of shows... they add luck to something that has none. Also, if someone can make it on WoF, and ask if they can buy an N... erm... ya.

I think it's funny when they spin and ask for a vowel instead of a consonant.
