You get to see the kinks ironed out in real time. With the exception of the season premiere, most shows air in whatever order so that we see a big win first.

I agree on that one too.  Problem is that - outside of Jeopardy - I can't think of another show that has returning champions, which makes it easy not to air them in taping order.  Sometimes I can't figure out how they decide which order to run them in.  If there are big wins, they can "strategically" place them, but what about typical generic show x vs show y where nothing special happens - sometimes we've seen by episode numbers that those run out of order too, which doesn't make a whole lot of sense.

Another thing I miss are the eggcrate scoreboards that so many shows used.  There's just a certain charm about them.

There are returning champs on 25WoL. Haven't seen enough of the new Pictionary to know if they do the same.

They do not.

I'm surprised not too many shows haven't tried to replicate the look of eggcrates or vanes, but using the monitors. Outside of Contestants Row, the only other show I know of that did this was GSN's Pyramid.

colonial:
History's Pawnography from a few years back did eggcrate displays on its scoreboards. Not the greatest show, but the use of eggcrates was noticeable.
