4. Jeopardy
Purists may say this is a "quiz show" not a game show. Whatever. I like it.

16. Jeopardy - these morons on Millionaire wouldn't stand a chance
I've been trying to try out for Trebeck's show for years. It's a shame the big money goes to fools on other shows, when these people work their brains off on Jeopardy.
Me, personally, I'm giving up on waiting for the call from Jeopardy. Let me on Who Wants to Be a Millionaire - easier questions, bigger money. I have no respect for the show, but I'd have some money in the end.

18. The older version of Hollywood Squares
My favorite bluff came from Paul Lynde..

Q (went something like this): What do you do when you are driving down the highway, you have to stop suddenly and you discover your brakes have failed?

Paul Lynde: "Honk if you love Jesus"

Every time I get depressed, I think of this one....

31. Reminds me of a line from Bobcat Goldthwait
"Wally Cox...Charlie Weaver...Paul Lynde...DEAD...DEAD...DEAD...

There must be something more to that center square than we thought."

19. Who Wants to be a Millionaire
I know it is not as difficult as Jeopardy but it made being intelligent admirable and popular, at least for time anyway. :-)

22. Aprieta y Gana.
It's a Spanish language game show from Venezuela. Watched it a dozen times and I still have no clue as to what's going on (I guess it would help if I actually spoke Spanish). All I know, is that they sing, dance, play contests and people win bushels of Bolivares. It's great!
