SuperMatch93:
Are there any shows you loved watching when you were younger, but your tastes have changed to the point where you no longer enjoy those same episodes?

When I was younger I loved watching Eubanks CS in reruns on GSN, but nowadays I'm not a huge fan (mainly because Bob's hosting style has soured on me) and am less inclined to watch it.

For the purposes of this question I'm not talking about shows that you felt have gone downhill over their run, I mean that the same episodes of that show don't entertain you as much as they used to.

Eric Paddon:
I have to say mostly the Barry-Enright shows like TJW and TTD because today the questions strike me as so ridiculously unchallenging that I don't derive much enjoyment from them.    And more so with TJW but Jack's hosting style hasn't worn well with me either with the bad scripted jokes for him in contestant intros and also the old "can you come back tomorrow?" bit of silliness.    I think "Break The Bank" has proved to be the one Barry-Enright show I've watched most because with Kennedy hosting and celebs it just doesn't seem like the typical B-E show.

BrandonFG:
MG. I’ll watch it if it’s on, but I watched it so much on GSN that I’m kinda over it now. But my attention span in general has kinda waned over the years, unless it’s a rare pilot or something obscure that we didn’t know existed. LMAD80 and Pitfall come to mind for the latter.

Casey:
For me, it's also the B-E shows.  And I think aside from the very wordy but generally simple questions, the faux tension building gets on my nerves, especially the question is asked but before the contestant gives the answer.  The shows are, however, visually interesting to watch, so I will watch them when they pop up, but I can't really watch more than 1 or 2 in a row, where I can binge watch the Price is Right Barker channel.

BillCullen1:
For me, it would be Dawson Feud. The kissing (on the lips), the showboating, arguing with Howard Felscher's  judging decisions just got old. Plus his ever-growing ego and how he treated some of the staff off camera. I rarely watch it now.
