If WOF makes you feel dumb, you should just eat a bullet. Read more

I wasn't thrilled with Richard Karn/Borland, but yeah Louie and John O'Hurley did just fine for me. Read more

Yeah, well admittedly I don't think I've seen a single Steve Harvey episode. I was too young for Richard Dawson (I know him mostly as the bad guy in The Running Man). But I thought that Louie Anderson, Al Borland, and J. Peterman all did a fine job. Read more

I don't mind the game itself. I used to watch the Richard Dawson version religiously on Game Show Network. I just think the current version is too overplayed and a cheap cash cow for the production company. And a lot of the "classic moments" from the Harvey era seem to be the result of coaching by the contestant… Read more

There've been a couple. Match Game 98 had promise but was ruined by the 5 panelist format, a cheap grand prize, and Judy Tenuta. They had a couple of pilots for revivals in the 00's that went nowhere. Read more

It's totally useless... until you make it on the show. At which point, it's now quite valuable. Read more

I'd say watching Jeopardy makes you feel smarter if you know the answers. But Wheel can make you feel dumber if you can't solve a puzzle that was, in retrospect, obvious. Read more

I have been waiting for a legit Match Game remake for so long. Read more

My wife destroys me at Wheel of Fortune; I trounce her at Jeopardy. She likes to say I have more useless knowledge than her. Read more

I am and always have been terrible at Wheel; Jeopardy! on the other hand, I'm like Rosie fucking Perez. Read more

Or you are a person who thinks you are supposed to be a Jeopardy! person but you enjoy Family Feud, so you are actually someone who is looking for lean-way-back Entertainment in the form of Steve Harvey shaking his head at families Read more

Depends on the category on Jeopardy. If they have classical music, especially clues where it's all audio, and you're supposed to identify the composer based on that, I grow an extra chromosome. If it's anything sports, movies, world war 2, or US History related, I'm answering before Alex is done reading the clue. I… Read more

Let's be honest. Family Feud only gets ratings because a.) It is on the channel that doctor's office waiting rooms leave on 24/7 without changing. b.) A bunch of teenagers/college bros waiting for the next scripted, oops I mean HILARIOUS joke about private parts/body functions!! Read more

"Who watches Wheel?" you ask??? Read more

Alex Trebek is a jerk, and it is wonderful. Read more

I didn't know Deadspin had an audience over 80 that would watch these sorts of things. I'm suddenly surprised there aren't more ads for TV trays and mobility scooters on the site. Read more

I like Jeopardy better but wish the hosts were switched out. Alex Trebek has people feeding him all kinds of info that he then parlays into trying to arrogantly pretend he is Wile E. Coyote - Super Genius. He is the absolute king of snotty attitude on trying to correct pronunciations or his stupid accents that all… Read more

Any post about gameshows that doesn't include the Newlywed Game clip about the buttsex is missing the point entirely. Read more

Jeopardy because I have literally never heard of a single book or author they ever mention and the contestants actually remember general plot points Read more

I know that Wheel of Fortune is the easier show, however, my brain just doesn't work that way. I struggle more with that than I do with obscure Jeopardy categories. Read more
