Of course, I may be the only guy to have a radio-only show on my list (and no, it's not "Whad'Ya Know?")

We were allowed to do that?  Doggone it, I would've ranked Information Please very high if I'd known that.

Ding!

(Although I wouldn't be surprised if they did try to do an early TV version of it; I don't have my EOTVGS at work to check)

Wouldn't have done me any good since I've never seen it if it does exist.  But I've definitely heard recordings of the radio show.  Favorite moment: none other than comedian Fred Allen beating the panel on a series of astronomy questions, and bragging about the Encyclopedia Britannica he's going to get out of it.

I'm dissapointed that a show that offered suspense, drama, and a great format ranked lower than many shows that are less worthy.

I'm a huge fan of Information, Please.  There's an entire book on it, from a tiny publisher.  Twice they attempted video versions:  A 1952 summer series that ran 13 episodes, plus a series of thirteen filmed shorts that were seen in movie theaters in the early forties.  At least one of those film shorts is in the hands of collectors.

It is kinda funny there are 6 shows on the GSN list that could not garner even  82 points to make out top 101!

Waiting for athletes to stumble over questions constitutes a great format?

74.   The Amazing Race (189, 1 first place vote)

What poor soul did that? Even if you were going to put a reality show at number one, you'd think Survivor would go before Race. It had more of a cultural impact and gave the whole reality craze a jump start.

In case you haven't noticed yet, we have some real ninnies around here. At least one of them apparently voted.

Aww, boo. It's a shame that these shows just don't get much appreciation.
