Game shows with no "perishable" information used
parliboy:
I argue that survey driven games are not perishable. Ask the same topical question in 1980, 2000, and 2020, and you get way different responses.

You would still need to conduct the surveys, though. If I'm viewing this from the standpoint of "what games do I not need to write material for", then Feud or Card Sharks would not qualify.
Lingo would also be on the list, and while it does use one nine-letter word per show, it's such a minimal drag on the process that I'd include Countdown.

Doesn't that mean the game IS perishable? If the question asked in 1975 wouldn't get the same answers today, then it is past its use.

Feud redid a survey at least once during its ABC run, and got a different #1 answer - "Name a famous Henry." IIRC, the first time, #1 was Fonda; the second time, either during or right after the Happy Days "boom," it was Winkler.

Original Password could count, probably not Plus or Super though since the puzzles could be products of their time.
