Game shows a guilty pleasure?

I'm wondering what people think on this.

Do you think people who love game shows are stereotyped? Similar to that of pro wrestling fans who are embarrassed and harassed for liking such a thing, or would be embarrased if someone caught them watching it?

I'd like to think game show lovers are not stereotyped. There are people from all walks of life here(white and blue-collar, a few male and a few female, etc.)

I had people, including relatives, wondering about my GS fetish going back to five years old or so.

 It may seem like we're stereotyped as \"geeks,\" but then again, the folks on this websi...uh...newsgr....uh board, are basically the \"creme de la creme\" of game show fans. There are a lot of \"closet\" game show fans out there, and you just don't know it. I've had numerous conversations with friends about GSN and the recent MOGSM specials, which ran pretty deep. It's actually surprising (but cool) to hear someone else my age (or younger) talk about Dawson's Feud or Match Game 7x. Trust me, GSN has a fan base other than the 200-something guys here, old and young. :-)

I'm embarassed to watch wrestling any more. Just recently I saw a one-legged wrestler almost kiss Vince McMahon's bare nekkid butt on WWE. That was enough of that.
