Not many, but the occasional game show grabs my attention. I'm thinking more of the kind like where you can sort of participate like Jeopardy or Wheel of Fortune as opposed to Survivor or Amazing Race. But if someone likes Survivor I'm certainly not going to complain in this thread.

I sometimes catch Are You Smarter Than a Fourth Grader - and usually I'm not. I tend to stay away from Jeopardy since I can't answer most of the question. I use to like the show Howey Mandel use to host but I've forgotten the name. And although I haven't watched it in a long time I've always like The Price is Right.

Deal or No Deal was Howie's...

I'm not big on most game shows.... I do like to watch Jeopardy at times if there's absolutely nothing else on... and I shock myself... sometimes there's a category I kill in (tonight it was AP names... i.e. Associated Press, American Pie)... and then there's topics I have NO clue (left handed French Impressionists? OK... NOT a real topic... but it may as well be). The only thing I hate about Jeopardy is how smug and self righteous Trebek get's if someone doesn't get an answer absolutely correct... "oooooooooooooooooo you were so close... but it's actually THE Batman... not just Batman.." or he has to try to throw a French accent into a word... Shut the hell up Alex... if you didn't have the answer cards in front of you... you wouldn't have a friggin' clue.

I think Jeopardy is the only one I watch currently. I liked Who Wants to Be a Millionaire when that was on.

As a kid growing up in the '70s, I watched tons of them. Price is Right. Let's Make a Deal. Match Game. Password. Joker's Wild. Family Feud. Hollywood Squares...

Jeopardy, very occasionally.
