Favorite type of game show?
edholland83:
I know it's been a long time since I last posted, but I wanted to get the opinion of some of the board members about what their favorite type of game show, It doesn't have to be a show in particular, I'm just interested in seeing what everyone else thinks.
Q & A (Jeopardy!.. College Bowl)
Bargain/Shopping Games (TPIR, $OTC , LMAD.....)
Puzzle Solving Games (Wheel, (Classic) Concentration .....)
Word Games (Password, Pyramid....)
Celebrity Based (MG, Hollywood Squares)
Physical Based Games (Double Dare, Finders Keepers)
My Personal Favorite is Q&A and word games, and being a student right now, it always helps me stay sharp, and I am always wanting to test what I know.

My favorites are the three contestants with buzzers Q&A shows (J!, $otC [which I consider more of a Q&A than just a shopping show], Split Second, Big Showdown, Blockbusters, Fandango, etc), but I enjoy all game shows if the premise is sound.

Great topic!
While I like gs's from all genres (except reality stuff, if that's even a gs genre), I'd have to list my top pick as word game. The english language is so wonderful and complex and there are so many varations on the word game concept that are simple, yet very compelling. Password, Pyramid and Lingo are great examples of this.
Second to this would be casino style games like Card Sharks, High Rollers, TJW, Top Card, etc. Those kinds of games are just exciting to watch. They are fun in a different way...in a non-thinking kinda way. :-)

Word Games have always been my favorite - especially when it's the contestant vs. the clock (i.e. Alphabetics from P+, the Winner's Circle).....

My favorite is the word game-Password in particular, but also Scrabble, Lingo, etc.
I'm not big on Q&A, though I like certain variations like Q&A/poll questions (FF & Hot Potato), Q&A/word games (Blockbusters) & Q&A/shopping (Supermarket Sweep).
I also really like the games that include celebrities like MG and the panel shows. (Though I agree with many here that shows with only celebs and no regular contestants should be rare special occasions, not the norm.)
