WEll?
I don't mean the ones in the last 2 or 3 years, I mean like, well, see my example below (from about 1 yr old to about 10)
A lot of these aired on USA or FAM plus I coaught 1 or 2 of them towards the end of their original lineup
The ones I remember watching were:
The PRice is Right (still watch it)
Jeopardy!
Wheel of Fortune
New Hollywood Squares (in the 80s when I was real little)
Classic Concentration
Tic Tac DOugh ('90 version only, unfortunately)
the Joker's Wild (see: Tic Tac Dough '90)
$25,000 Pyramid
$100,000 Pyramid
$100,000 Name That Tune
Press Your Luck
Family Feud (Combs and Feud '94 versions)
Bumper Stumpers
Card Sharks (I only remeber the last year of the Eubanks run though)(I didn't even remember this one up until I got GSN....)
Super Password
Let's Make a Deal (on FAM, of course)
Supermarket Sweep
TPiR '94
I think that's it. Not for sure though. About the only game shows I watch now are the current run of HS, Supermarket Sweep, TpiR, and the GSN shows
------------------
Seth Thrasher
"Peace"
"See Ya Tomorrow on The Feud!"
"This is the $10,000/$20,000/$25,000/$50,000/$100,000 Pyramid"
Help stop trolls...ignore them!

Oh, I remember at some point seeing just about EVERY game show, from the mid-1960's to mid-1970's, when they were on NETWORK TELEVISION, on weekdays, but, some of my favorites were LET'S MAKE A DEAL, THE ORIGINAL HOLLYWOOD SQUARES, MATCH GAME 70-WHATEVER, and yes, CONCENTRATION

An Update to what I said earlier....
I now watch WoF and J! again.
Although not every day(as I would miss P+ and SP on GSN....)
But I DO watch them again.
Plus, I now watch Family Feud, To Tell The Truth, and (starting tomorrow) Card Sharks (2001 Version)

I also remember watching the ORIGINAL PASSWORD on CBS, that GAME SHOW NETWORK airs today, and also, the '60's version of YOU DON'T SAY!, and the 60's MATCH GAME
There used to be some warped out game shows in my time, besides the Price is Right, I remember:
Wheel of Fortune
Jeopardy- both perennial favorites
Press Your Luck- loved the Whammy! That's why I watched it
All the Pyramid Games
Scrabble
Classic Concentration
Joker's Wild (1990 version)
Card Sharks
Family Feud
Sale of the Century
Let's make a DEal (1984 version)
Name that Tune- Loved the musical roulette part of the game
Face the Music (remember that one?)
Trivial Pursuit & Jumble (Wink Martindale)
There was also one I remember watching also, i don't know if anyone remembers this but there was this show called "Now You See It"
There was another show called "Wipeout"
I definitely remember Tic Tac Dough
I remember watching Bowling for Dollars on Baltimore's channel 11. Also the Maryland Lottery as I recall had their own tv game show too that was cool.
Wonder if anybody remembers a show from 1980 called Lets go to the Races. It was hosted by Alan Hamel ( Suzanne Sommers' husband).It was strictly a home viewers gameshow.
You had to go to a Grand Union supermarket ( though I think it involved other chains around the country ) pick up game card that featured the numbers.
Tune into the show where they featrue 4 or 5 different horse races and if number thats on the horse crosses the finish line first and the number on your card matches- YOU win cash.
Just like going to the real thing, though Lets go the Races didnt last long. Gone by 1981.
That's a tough one because when I was growing up (which will give you an idea of my age, mid-forties), Andy Griffith, the Honeymooners, Lucille Ball and shows like that were favorites so I honestly don't remember watching any game shows at that age.
