Long-running game shows
Winkfan:
We game show fans once discussed those shows that should have ran longer than 13 or 26 weeks; but how about the other side of the coin. Which game shows do you think ran longer than they should have? Some of which kept going to the point of 'Is THAT show still on?'
I, for one, recall when the original Card Sharks was first on NBC back in '78. I thought to myself, 'I don't think it's gonna last.' Three years later, I was glad to have been proven wrong.
Cordially,
Tammy Warner--the 'Mary Anne Ellis of the Big Board!'

Honestly? The current incarnation of Feud.
Taking nothing away from Karn's job as host, playing the game on a projection screen and that cramped dark Millionaire set just doesn't float my boat. It amazes me that it made it four years.

Winning Lines most definitely should've ran longer than it had run. It was on only 2 months.
The Wonderwall contributed to the show's success, but as stated on Loogslair.com, the home-viewer sweepstakes put the brakes on the show.
And I'm thinking to myself: If the home-viewer sweepstakes isn't a success, then take that element off, and leave the show alone.
This is a CATCHY show with a Catchy element in the Wonderwall. Catchy shows are supposed to last long.
