Favorite game shows, current: Wheel of Fortune, Jeopardy, Price is Right

Non-favorite game shows, current: Cash Cab (good concept, but it's overrun on Discovery), Deal or No Deal (no skill involved to win), Meredith's Millionaire (six years without a millionaire? Embarassing.), any "reality" game show like Survivor (it's NOT REAL!), 20Q (can Hal put a muzzle on occasionally?)

Favorite classic game shows: Wheel pre-1994, Jeopardy pre-1998, Pyramid, Family Feud

Non-favorite game shows shown in reruns: Dog Eat Dog (if you never win a stunt, it's boring), Newlywed Game (not that interested in relationship shows unless they have a classic guest), Twenty-One (the Maury Povich edition), Donny Osmond's Pyramid (glad GSN yanked that off the schedule!), GSN's Chain Reaction, any poker shows (I despise GSN's Sunday lineup; nine straight hours? Wtf!?)
