My Top Ten: Game Shows!

Written by

Game shows are a staple of American television with many programs spanning multiple hosts and decades of airing. There have been hundreds, if not thousands through the years which could be grouped into the game show genre, but for the purposes of this blog we'll mostly just consider the more traditional ones. Think Jeopardy, not AFV.

People enjoy games shows for a variety of reasons. Sometimes it's just some good old-fashioned entertainment mixed in with a healthy dose of humor. Maybe it's the educational aspect and challenging yourself as if you were on the show. Maybe there is a larger-than-life host oozing character. For me, on that note, I must give a big shoutout to the host with the most, Steve Harvey. His suits are the primary reason I watch Family Feud! What a legend.

Alright, so the new topic of this blog is ranking Steve Harvey's top ten Family Feud outfits.... just kidding! Let's get into my top ten game shows!

10 Who Wants to be a Millionaire?

9 Let's Make a Deal

8. Press Your Luck

7. Deal or No Deal

6. Are You Smarter Than a Fifth Grader?

5. Cash Cab

4. Wheel of Fortune

3. Jeopardy!

2. The Price is Right

1. Family Feud

So, what do you think? Did I forget any great game shows? How does my order compare to yours? There're certainly no wrong opinions when it comes to this stuff, and I appreciate you letting me share my takes on these topics here with you. For game shows to stand the test of time as television trends have shifted exemplifies their significance in our culture, and I don't think they'll be going away anytime soon.

Side note: What show would you be on if you had the choice of any? For me, that's a really tough question. I think I'd do best at a trivia show like Cash Cab or Are You Smarter Than a Fifth Grader? and worst at The Price is Right, specifically. I don't shop for groceries too often and would be shocked at the prices of certain stuff. Family Feud would probably be the most fun, and Jeopardy would be just awesome. I guess it's a toss-up!
