LIVE POLL: IMDb Poll Board: Favorite Game Show

@themoviesmith​ Can you elaborate on which Family Double Dare you referring to? There are three popping up. Jeopardy is on the big board.

Is this the one? Family Double Dare (1990- )?

@Tsarstepan​ Hello. This is the one: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt3369158/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1.

Thanks

@dan_dassow​ Sorry Dan. I knew that was going to be a hot commodity. 

@dan_dassow​ Both added.

@Tsarstepan​ ,

Thank you for adding:

Concentration (1958–1973)

@dan_dassow​ ,

Thank you for adding the discussion link.

@TheOldJalapenoman​ ,

As my two favorites are already taken (Jeopardy and Concentration), I'm going to have to go:

Match Game (the version from the 70's with Gene Rayburn as the host).  It was renamed every year as Match Game '73, Match Game '74,  etc.

The Newlywed Game (the version from the 70's).

I think that both of these were actually comedy shows masquerading as game shows!

Likewise, The Dating Game (1965–1986), The Hollywood Squares (Daytime) (1965–1980) and The Gong Show (1976–1980) were primarily comedy shows with the trappings of game shows.

@dan_dassow​ The Hollywood Squares would have actually been my next choice!  Charlie Weaver, Wally Cox, Paul Lynne... names probably only you and I remember!

@TheOldJalapenoman​ Both added.

@gromit82​ Added.

@BonaFideBOSS​ Two 

One that I remember, which I grew up watching, is Takeshi's Castle. It's an old show. It used to be dubbed by Jaaved Jaaferi for Indian audiences.

@jaf_ismael​ Bonafide had already chosen TC. As for your second choice, there are three titles under that name. Can you be more specific on which one? I will add your third choice after posting this reply.

@Tsarstepan​ The Crystal Maze

@jaf_ismael​ Added to the list.

@mariojacobs​ 

RuPaul's Drag Race

Both added.

@gromit82​ I'm so old that I remember it was the $50 dollar Pyramid when it started!  Dick Clark was the host even back in the dark ages.  Yes, that's all a joke.

@Jessica​ Duly added.

@Tsarstepan​ 

Thanks. 

Who are hightor and jcboy from your list? I don't see their posts in this thread.

@Jessica​ I'm technically cheating here. They're members of another forum where I asked this question. Born out of ... impatience for nominations.

Oh, okay. That's unusual. I guess technically it is cheating, and kind of similar to asking a friend or family member (someone not from the poll board). I think I recall that from another poll years ago, though I'm not sure..

Maybe we can make an exception.

Correction:

Which of the following Game Shows* (as chosen by our fellow members of the IMDb Poll Board) is your favorite?

@Jessica​ Both list and original thread edited accordingly. Thanks.

@Brijesh​ Added.

@Pencho15​ Added.

@rubyfruit76​ Yeah. I don't understand how reality shows are counted as game shows but that's how IMDb accepts entries into the genre. Added.

@Tsarstepan​ Thanks, Tsar. I've seen very few reality shows except for Survivor and I'm of two minds about how some should be categorized. I've never seen reality shows like the Kardashians but, from what I understand, there's no game or contest involved there so, if that's accurate, "game show" doesn't at all apply. I suppose I can understand why shows such "Survivor" or "The Amazing Race," however, and maybe even cooking contest series could be considered game shows. For example, "Survivor" is a game, albeit a different kind of game with a very different format, but it shares many of the same elements: a match of wits and skills between contestants with a monetary prize for the winner. I've never seen RuPaul's show. 

Anyway, thanks for adding it. : )  My second choice would be "Jeopardy," which was already taken. I like puzzles like "Wheel of Fortune" has but I'm not crazy about all the glitz and giddiness of that series, lol. 

Doesn't looks like Kardashians is under the game show genre according to its page. Glad we missed that heinous crime against humanity.

Personally, I've been fuming over IMDb's definition of horror. Where movies like trying to get Perfect Blue get the horror genre and being denied (despite it being deemed one of the all time greatest horror animes ever). And IMDb allowing the Hotel Transylvania movies to be in the horror genre.

@ndbportmanfan_1​ I'll add it to the list and repush the poll.
