Here are mine in the wake of original "Hollywood Squares" host Peter Marshall passing away. What are you favorite game shows? Here are mine:
Newlywed Game
Dating Game the Jim Lange version
Match Game the Gene Rayburn Version
Richard Dawson's version of Family Feud
Hollywood Squares mainly the Marshall version
Treasure Hunt with Geoff Edwards [Reply]
Obviously going back decades here, but the ones that immediately came to mind were Match Game and Hollywood Squares. Paul Lynde was amazingly funny, clever and snarky, as were Richard Dawson and Charles Nelson Reilly. It really seemed like everybody involved in those shows, be it the hosts, celebrity panelists or contestants, was having a blast. I remember being amazed that the obnoxiously hilarious guy on Match Game played Newkirk on Hogan's Heroes. Dawson taught me at a young age that actors are definitely NOT the same people they play on TV. :-)
As for modern/current game shows, I don't watch any of them. [Reply]
Fucking wild to me that we have to get 8 posts in for Jeopardy. Even post Trebek with the bad Mayim Bialik run is better than anything else out there by a mile.
I will say that I’ve quite enjoyed the 1% Club, though it loses points for the terrible in-between rounds banter. The Chase is also quite enjoyable. [Reply]

Missed this post. I was thinking the same thing. Figured there's be mostly Jeopardy fans. :-) [Reply]
