The Game Show Forum > The Big Board
Ultimate game show cult favorite

It doesn't tick all of the boxes, but I've always felt the B&E version of Break the Bank deserved a longer run.
jage:
Perhaps I misunderstood the question, but I took it as which show do you feel has obtained cult status amongst the game show fandom, as opposed to which show do we love that we feel should have received a longer run.
Based on this board alone, Whew! has to be at or near the top, as it's a show I had never even heard of until it being discussed here, and there are definitely plenty of people who would put it at the top of their list.
Some of the short-lived Nick games may also fit, depending on the crowd, or Remote Control.
But maybe I mistook the question, in which case, never mind all that.
BrandonFG:
Like Jage, I think Whew! fits the original question best. I’d second The Big Showdown and by extension, The Money Maze. The latter two deserved a longer run IMO.

NBC Scrabble.

How did the weekly syndicated Break The Bank do in the ratings? Was it ever considered as a nightly 5-a-week strip that could have been paired with syndicated Joker?
