Does anyone know if any episodes of Skedaddle exist in the wild? I just want to make sure the five or so minutes I watched when I was a kid wasn't just a fever dream.

That explains why one of my favorites is missing, but nicely done Ian.

For the past few months I've been doing extensive research through old TV Guides plus whatever information is available online to come up with a complete list of Canadian game shows.  There are other lists online but they are missing a lot of shows.

This is just traditional game shows and doesn't include "reality-type" competitions.  I'm still trying to find a few air dates here and there but for some shows - especially the early ones - it's next to impossible to gain more information about them.  The air dates include original runs only (with intended repeats within those runs), but doesn't include off-network repeats after production ended.

Presented here are two lists - chronological and alphabetical.  If you'd prefer alphabetical, scroll down the page about half way and the same info is listed in that format.

This is what I hope is now a complete list.  Comments are welcome if anyone has any :)

You may want to specify that this a list of all English Language game shows.  The French-Canadian language game shows is a whole different animal if you don't know French nor have any guides that cover primarily Quebec channels as they have their own stable of shows.

Otherwise, great work on the English shows, Ian!

Thank you for the compliment and great point.  Yes, it is English-language shows only.  I'm not that interested in the French shows and don't have much info about them - nor do I understand the language!

If you type, let's say Magnificent Marble Machine 1975-1976, you won't get 300,000 hits. It'll cut right to the chase.

Surprised it didn't read "TILT!"

Much better example.

I didn't think about it because I used to do such research as part of my job... I was just giving an example of what you can find on newspapers.com. If you type, let's say Magnificent Marble Machine 1975-1976, you won't get 300,000 hits. It'll cut right to the chase.

I typed Jackpot NBC and it took me right to the game show and TV listings without all the fat

Sure.  You narrowed the search by adding "NBC".  You didn't mention that in your original post.
