“Cool a new game show!” but it’s not a game show

Early 1994. TV Guide listing:
9:30 (VH1) Body Language-Game

This is slowly coming back to me and I wanna say I had the same reaction. Unfortunately we had one of those wonky cable systems where two networks shared a channel. In the morning was VH1; at night it was Comedy Central. And naturally, TCI never had either one going when they had a show I really wanted to watch. :P

I can think of two times this happened to me...
1. When I was a kid, I saw a listing for a show on USA in TV Guide that read "It's Your Move". That's it, no mention of the genre or anything. However, I took a guess and thought it was a game show off of the title. With my knowledge of short-lived TV shows being infinitesimal at that time, imagine my disappointment when I watched and saw that it was a sitcom. I wasn't upset for long when I learned, "Wow, I never knew David Hogan & Steve Rhodes did a show together". I stuck it out for the cast and it ended up liking it; it was a fun show. Coincidentally, the episode I saw was the one where the two of them go on a game show!
2. In the late '90s, I was surprised to see this listing on my local Fox affiliate at 3:00AM:
THREE'S A CROWD--Game
Intrigued, I set my VCR to see if they got the rerun rights to the game show or if it was a typo. I checked the tape the next day and sure enough, it was the latter (It was the short-lived Three's Company spinoff with John Ritter).
Adam Nedeff:
I remember, as a kid in the '90s, going through the cable guide one day and seeing E! was about to air High Rollers. I hit the info button on the remote, and even the cable guide was fooled, because the info was something like "Contestants answer trivia questions and roll dice to win cash and prizes."
Nope. Documentary about how casinos accommodate wealthy visitors.
Jimmy Owen:
ABC documentary "The Mating Game" of the 60s, the newsified Candid Camera knockoff "What Would You Do?"
Kevin Prather:
"Countdown with Keith Olbermann" comes to mind.
