Re: Your top 10 game shows ever
Honestly, the only one I absolutely love is Jeopardy! I also watch Wheel of Fortune regularly.
Cash Cab is good for lazy afternoons.
Family Feud is cool, but I rarely watch it on TV. I prefer seeing the awful answers on YouTube.

Match Game is my favorite, followed by The Price is Right, Jeopardy, Family Feud (in most of its incarnations, but especially Dawson, Karn and Harvey) and Tic Tac Dough. That one's an oldie which I haven't seen in a while, but it was a favorite of mine on GSN reruns.

Re: Your top 10 game shows ever
I like how no one gives a shit (not even GSN) about the Louie Anderson Family Feud. The one truly awful version of the game and the stage was so tiny!

I'm tempted to say Press Your Luck for this woman alone:

Re: Your top 10 game shows ever
I only recently heard about the Press Your Luck scandal and it's quite a fascinating story. Contestant Michael Larson memorized the recurring patterns of the game boards and won the largest one day total prizes ($110K) at the time.
There is an 81 minute documentary from GSN titled Big Bucks: The Press Your Luck Scandal narrated by the original host of Press Your Luck on YouTube.
Such a nerdy topic, but it was an interesting documentary. The best part is near the end of his run when he hit the buzzer at the wrong time and nearly lost it all.

Re: Your top 10 game shows ever
What was great about original Millionaire was how people would say "Oh I think its A or C" and then they use 50/50 and A and C are the ones left. Gotta love being the dick who did that to the contestant.
Now the game is just odd. Like I still watch it now and then but the fact that you can skip questions now makes no sense.

1. Wheel of Fortune 2. Family Feud 3. Match Game 4. The Price is Right 5. Pyramid 6. The Weakest Link 7. Who Wants to be a Millionaire? 8. Greed 9. Card Sharks 10. Dog Eat Dog
Weakest Link watchers, do you remember a guy who got all his questions correct and then when he was voted off (in the last round before final 2 if I remember correctly), Anne didn't give the usual snip, GOODBYE routine, she bowed to him and told the other two they were cowards before saying "Goodbye sir."? I think the guy was a professor or something. I wish I could see that episode again.
I barely remember Power of 10. Might have lasted if not for Carey taking TPIR.
Million Dollar Password was good too. Also known as Regis's Latest Attempt to Remain Relevant In His 80s.

Re: Your top 10 game shows ever
the new password should have reminded us all of the importance of game shows where B and C list celebrities play inane quiz games with sub-human common folk, which it did for me, yet it died a quick and remorseless death. i remember when rachael ray failed at everything. she was basically illiterate.
