Game shows have become a staple of American television. The average American’s aspiration to be on TV and the desire to win money have coupled to make game shows some of the most popular and long-running programs on TV. The entertaining participants they attract and their family-friendly content are reasons game shows are fun to watch as well as participate in. Thanks to satellite TV, a game show lover can now see more shows than ever before.
The topics of today’s game shows are as varied as their formats. There are trivia games based on sports, there are guessing games based on general knowledge, there are math puzzlers and word puzzlers. Whatever your game shows preference, chances are you can find an entertaining one that you can enjoy.
The most popular game shows include The Price Is Right, Jeopardy!, and Wheel of Fortune. The Price is Right, the longest running game show in the country, recently said goodbye to longtime host Bob Barker and now has Drew Carey at the helm. The Price is Right is the most popular game shows that broadcasts during the daytime. Jeopardy! and Wheel of Fortune air back to back in the evenings. With their famous hosts (Alex Trebek and Pat Sajak, repectively), Jeopardy! and Wheel of Fortune have both enjoyed decades of syndication.
Some of the most popular game shows to enter the scene over the past decade have been Who Wants to be a Millionaire, a quiz show that offers the biggest money prize out of any game show, and Deal or No Deal. Both of these shows are wildly popular and are broadcast worldwide.
All of these shows are aired on the networks, which makes them readily available to game show enthusiasts. If you’re an avid fan who can’t get enough games shows and want more than just the networks offer, you need to look into satellite TV. Old game shows, new game shows, and reruns of current ones all appear on satellite TV. The Game Show Network is dedicated to game shows and you can find all your favorites there. Long gone shows like Family Feud have been resurrected on Game Show Network. Brand new shows like Instant Recall and Catch 21 have been created by the network to keep fans of new shows happy. Reruns of Price It Right and Jeopardy! episodes from past decades also air regularly on the network. Many of the shows have also taken game shows to a different level by allowing the audience to play via the internet and text message.
Many other channels offer game shows as well. ESPN has sports trivia games. Lifetime and Oxygen have original game shows based on daily living topics, and Disney Channel and Nickelodeon naturally have game shows geared to children. Without satellite TV though, you can’t access any of these other shows. The networks control the largest, most-watched shows, but for fans of old shows or ones that they can participate in from their living room, satellite television in the only answer.
