 Did you even READ the original post?

 That wasn't the question.

Honestly, I'm surprised that The Price is Right is still on.  The format is throughly enjoyable...but I thought it would have burned out after..about season 25.

Jimmy Owen:
Pat Sajak might even agree with me when I say WOF.  Who woulda thunk the simple but entertaining game of "Hangman" be on continously for close to 30 years?  Well, except Merv.

J.R.:
With it's comical cheepness, I am very suprised Goen's version of "WOF" lasted for almost 3 years.

And, I am also suprised the current run of Jeopardy! has gone on for this long. Considering the format has never changed since 1984 in a place where people want nothing but. Personally, I don't think J! would be around today if it wasn't Sony's "Sister Show" to WOF.

(I don't think doubling the dollars is a "Format Change")

 I agree...I'm surprised it's even passed 20. I've often wondered what would've happened had it made it into the early-80s or so. Would the Kennedy version have lasted longer? (pure speculation)

Someone also noted Wheel. I also wonder what would've happened had that one been cancelled in the early-80s as planned...would we have ever gotten a nighttime version. Would it have come back with Chuck and Susan, or would Merv have gone for a new team?

NOTE: I'm saying this assuming that Wheel would have been cancelled in 80 or 81, before Chuck's contract renewal came up.
