I love Jeopardy. Always wanted to be on it. Especially in HS - those teen tournament questions are ridiculously easy.
I have serious serious serious issues with Wheel of Fortune. It just seems *wrong* that people can make so much cash/prizes for merely knowing the frickin' alphabet. Its a sparkly version of Hangman, people. It bugs me that very smart people come away from Jeopardy with a box of Rice-A-Roni for being #2 - and people who know *all* 26 letters of the alphabet (and can keep track of which ones have been used) can win 25K and a car, ec.
I watch Game Show Network way too much...
Lingo
Cram
Press Your Luck (no Whammy , STOP)
I also loved MTV's Idiot Savants
There was a show called Debt that used to be on Lifetime (I think) If you won, you got your debt paid off. The people had a "specialty" category, and the producers picked a supposedly hard question in that area - if you got it right, you were debt free. I *always* knew the Brady Bunch and Simpsons questions.
I was watching a rerun of Greed tonight on GSN - and Paul, the TV Geek from Beat the Geeks was on as a contestant...wierd. I liked the first season of Beat the Geeks - but the second host sucked.
