Anyone still watch game shows? When I was a kid I watched them daily. Now I can't watch them at all. It seems weird for me when I see a modern celebrity hosting a classic game show.

There aren't that many game shows left. -
Besides Wheel of Fortune, Jeopardy, Let's Make a Deal and Price is Right I can't think of any others that don't come on the Game Show Network. But I used to watch them all the time as a kid after school. Match Game and Pyramid amoung my favorites.sigpic WANTED: Boxed, Carded and Kresge Carded WGSHComment

I periodically DVR old episodes of Match Game. It was so much more than just a game show.

I love Match Game. I laugh til I cry watching that one! I was sad when Minute to Win It and Deal or No Deal went off the air, but I sometimes catch reruns of them on GSN."Do you believe, you believe in magic?

I go through phases of watching GSN. My favorite is the last round on Pyramid. I like Match Game as well.Comment

I've recently been watching old Supermarket Sweep episodes on YouTube. It was bad in 1990 when my college roommate & I watched it on our 13" TV, and it's just as bad today.Comment

I watch Wheel and Jeopardy but I really miss Tic-Tac-Dough and Jokers WildComment

Hmmmm....
Not really a fan. I think one reason they've dried up is 'cos they've merged with reality shows; hence all the "Yard Sale: The Series" shows out now. You get the same vicarious kick of watching folks squabble.... like a reality show; plus the vicarious kick of seeing who wins big.... like a game show. Game shows were big a decade or so back but I think they discovered the new take is much cheaper.

Food Network even has it's own "Game Shows". "Chopped", "Chef Wanted", "Cupcake Wars", etc.Not really a fan.

Oddly enough, I saw a commercial for a new reality show in the Pickers/Pawn Stars type tradition...for GSN. No game show element involved at all, it seems.
