How many of you watch game shows? If you love game shows, why not join the topic:
Game Show Network here on MyLot?!
What are some of your most favorite and least favorite games shows of all time?
I like Family Feud and Lingo a lot. I never used to like Lingo, but it grew on me. I think those are probably my top two. I also like to watch Who Wants to be a Millionaire on occasion. I also really like the Newlywed Show. It's so funny to see how different the answers from husband and wife are at times!
I don't care much for Russian Roulette or Weakest Link, or any bingo shows. I'm not too big on the poker and other card shows either.
I guess the Match Game is funny once in awhile. It's neat sometimes to see old shows and see how much society has changed, from attire, to people smoking right on the show as well as to which answers are given.

I so remember watching Price is Right when I was younger. There was nothing that said 'day off of school' then sitting and watching Bob Barker at 11am. As I grew I noticed the models, too. Isn't that an important turning point in every young man's life?
My favorite games shows now are Are you smarter than a fifth graders, One against 100, and reality shows: they are kinda like game shows, aren't they?
My absolute favorite game show has to be Deal or No Deal. I tell my wife it is a very 'stressful' show to watch but the main point is one that I already aluded to: the models. Hmm. Will guys ever grow up? :-)

Yeah, I still watch the Price is Right -- I LOVE that show, even with Drew Carey hosting I still enjoy it. I like him.

I am not much of a game show fan, but I love Jeopardy and Deal or No Deal. I like to see whether I can answer the question and the second one is when they say deal or no deal, and everyone especially the family tries to tell her to either take it or not and at the end, there is just one box left. I used to watch Family Feud, but I have not seen Lingo. I like shows where the person has to think and if he makes the wrong decision, he is shot and I like intelligence games like Jeopardy the best, but I do not see it that often because I am doing something else, like here, watching a movie, or working in the house or outside.

The game show is funny,i like the SuperBoy games show,it's competition about singing.The win will have a chance to issue his album,but it's just a 'show',people who had won the competition is also difficult on their singing way.So the games show is not good method to achieve goal of ourselves which to be a star,it's just a 'show'.

I am a game show junkie, love GSN, but lately when im home during the day my son watches his shows on the main tv, rather than in his room, so i havetn been watching them as much, and hubby has teh tv at night..lol. I have gone online and played the interactive games with them, i love playing LINGO. and i definitely like the old PRess your luck, better than the modern version.

I watch them. One of my all time favorites would have to be The Price Is Right. I've been watching this show since I was a little girl. Some other game shows I enjoy are Family Feud, Are You Smarter Than A Fifth Grader, To Tell The Truth, Don't Forget The Lyrics, And Who Wants To Be A Millionaire. Other than the Price Is Right and Family Feud, I don't usually watch these other game shows, except when I happen to remember that they are on or I when I happen to be scanning the station to see what is on.
I've never really gave much thought about what game shows I don't like, but I guess I would have to say Temptation. I have watched it a couple of times before, but it seems rather low budget to me. No offense to those of you that actually like the show. Oh yeah, and I don't care for poker games either.

I love game shows on TV, although I am quite busy and don't watch much TV most days. Most of these game shows originate from US, and I'd say these are all very entertaining and creative shows. Sometimes we get franchised versions of these shows, played in our local studios. One in recent months was Deal or No Deal. On TV now, we get daily airing of The Price is Right and Wheel of Fortune, and up to a few weeks back, we also enjoyed Are You Smarter Than A Fifth Grader and even further back we had Who Wants To Be A Millionaire. Very soon to be aired on our local TV channel is the game show Don't Forget The Lyrics. I am really looking forward to be entertained by that one.

My oldest daughter could watch the Game Show Network all day long. And she is only 7! We like to watch Lingo (she is really good at that) and Whammy. The Weakest Link is fun, too, but I sometimes have a lot of trouble understanding the questions, especially with the female host. English is not my first language, so that adds to my dilemma.
My husband likes to watch the shows that have been around, when he was a kid. Something like Password, lol. And you are right in regard to the old shows. So many things have changed since then.

I watch Let's Make a Deal sometimes. But that is the only one I can really think of.

I love to watch jeopardy, wheel of fortune and the $1,000,000 chance of a lifetime. It sharpens my mind everytime I watch those shows. 
A lot of game shows nowadays though are really not that fun anymore especially here in the Philippines where game shows seem to be the only hope for some people who don't have work.

My favorite game show is Jeopardy. It is just the questions the answers, the contestants and Alex. No fluff or silliness. I never got into The Weakest Link or Who wants to be a millionaire or Deal or No Deal.

I do watch game shows. It is fun and touching as well. I like it when the contestant win big prizes. I can see it in their eyes and feel it in their voices how much they needed it. And knowing the fact that it will help them in surviving physically.
