I'm not good at remembering these things, and I was trying to think of it today, but just can't...I'm sure someone here knows:
When was the last time a syndicated game show ran more than one season when that game show was not a remake/update (Pyramid), or a jump from network (5th Grader)?

I believe that dubious distinction belongs to Street Smarts; which has five seasons under its belt.
Cordially,
Tammy

Isn't the next oldest Cross-Wits? Mutliyear syndication on unproven product hasn't been good.

I think so...unless you wanna consider Studs as a game show.
/Hey, GSN included it ;-)

Perhaps she was being ironic?

If we're going to count (FREAKIN') Studs, then Change of Heart and its 5-year run deserves its day in the GSF limelight. To tie it into a previously mentioned show, towards the end it was packaged with the aforementioned Street Smarts.
None of the aforementioned can hold a candle to the original version of Change of Heart's package mate: Love Connection. 11 years as a show made solely for syndication and considered a game show by GSN even if the 2nd Edition of the EoTVGS didn't think so.

"Fun House", 2 seasons 1988 and '89 if you want to count kids game shows

Bzzz! was on for a couple of seasons in the late 90's, if you also count the local LA version.

Studs was a game show because there were contestants who answered questions about the dates, upon which they were scored.
Change of Heart isn't even close.
Love Connection. 11 years as a show made solely for syndication and considered a game show by GSN even if the 2nd Edition of the EoTVGS didn't think so.
Trust the EoTVGS on this one.

Then I guess the EoTVGS isn't perfect either.
