I prefer episodes in the springtime versus those in the winter.

I would highly recommend you curtail your ask to just one or two shows. You'll get way more responses. That said, I'll play along and answer part 8 first, Jack.
I love the ABC revival, but the original is a hair better. The GSN version comes in third; it's not bad, but the other two versions are just that good. That said, I wouldn't mind seeing the Big Bank make a comeback.
I know the bonus game has its detractors, but I love it. I think it moves at a good clip, and honestly, I don't think it needs the million dollar carrot anymore. I'd actually just move the $150k+ prize to the Big Bucks Bonanza and make that part of the carrot of playing onward.

GameShowGuru:
1. The Price Is Right: 1975-1985, the show was hitting its stride, especially with the addition of the Showcase Wheel, without an overabundance of stereotypical hyper contestants
2. Jeopardy! 1978-1979 - This was the version of Jeopardy! I was introduced to, I especially loved that crimson and cream set as a kid.
3. Wheel of Fortune: 1983-1987 - Maybe it was because I was a kid, it had high play along value and it wasn't (yet) reduced to the gimmicky show it is now.
4. Match Game: 1978-1981 - I was introduced to Match Game during this period, and I liked the "confederate flag" set better than the original "FAMU" glitter set
5. Let's Make a Deal: 1990 - I actually liked Bob Hilton as host, arguably better than I like Monty Hall
6. Pyramid: 1990-1992 - I actually thought "Double Trouble" and "Gamble for a Grand" were good additions to the front game
7. Card Sharks: 1978-81 - The high energy theme song (and contestants) combined with Jim's rapid flipping of the cards almost single-handedly made me love game shows. I remember my kindergarten teacher had me write down my three favorite game shows, and my first choice was "Card Sharks".
8. Press Your Luck: 1985 - The board arrangement had IMO the best assortment of cash and prizes - and miscellaneous spaces.
9. Double Dare (Nickelodeon) N/A - never cared for the show
10. Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? N/A - not really a fan of the show
