[color=\"#009900\"]7 Wheel of Fortune (1975-present)[/color]
(3086 77/80)(1 first place vote)(GSN: 6)(TVG: 25)

Aside from a couple of modern shows, the only one on the list that's never been out of production since its premiere. Woolery left, though.

I will never forget the Greed with the question "which show did Chuck Woolery NOT host?" Both the contestant and captain said "I know for a fact he did not host Wheel of Fortune"

Then, I am curious to know why you said this. You know, the part about saying "there is no way it should replace one of the 13 left". Seems awfully contradictory to me.

Because I could put it at #1 and still list all of those 13, like I did. It did not replace a single one. It was easy; when you don't put Freakin' Studs on the list.

That makes no sense whatsoever.
/sick of seeing "Freakin' Studs" get overused.

Webster's new world dictionary

Replace: "to take of the place of"

It did not take the place of any of them they were all there.

Egads, I didn't even look. It was getting close at the top. Not shocked that Price ran away with it though. I am shocked that Wheel didn't crack the top 5 and MG did.

Matthew, my Matt, you forgot a version. (1998-99....Michael Burger! George Hamilton! Judy Tenuta!)
I do understand, though, why you'd block it out.

Matt, I hope this pointless sniping wasn't the cause of a lack of comments on the top 5. I've been appreciative of those, myself.

(And I don't want to hear about how anybody has a point. It's not the point of the thread, it's not accomplishing anything--let it die, please.)

Brandon, should I not mention that, had Matt convinced me to submit a list, I would have definitely ranked Pyramid above Jeopardy!?

I never tire of that joke.

Had I submitted a list, Price still would have been #1, and Pyramid would have been #2.

(Of course, has someone else who didn't submit one do so, there's a good chance that Pyramid gets bumped again, because I can't see myself putting Jeopardy lower than #3.)

I put J! down at number 10, which in retrospect may have been too low. I love the game and didn't have the heart to put it out of the top ten. Price was right at number two for me.

Do not want?

Chuck Sutton · « **Reply #329 on:** September 10, 2006, 11:41:14 PM »

Then let me explain in terms even a "ninny" can understand

I was asked two different questions

1. What are the remaining 13 shows on a list of 50 from GSN?

I am stuck with what they all the shows they have already listed. The question is should the Newlywed Game the Dating Game be on a list of the 50 greatest games ever? Yes, they definitely should and they were on mine at 41 and 42.

Should they be on the list of the top 13? no, they should not. And I wish they were not. I wish they were where they belonged on the GSN list so one could put The Amazing Race on there and it would not have to "replace" them. Remember in this question I was asked; I did not have the option of moving Dating and Newlywed down.

So a better show had to be left off so that it would not "replace" two lesser deserving shows that have to be on a list of the 50 greatest somewhere.

Give me the entire list of 50. "Should" The Amazing Race "replace" The Newlywed Game on the list of 50? No, It should not, instead it should replace Dog Eat Dog and Newlywed Game should move down to that spot.(but I did not have that option in this question)

In this senerio, is opposite is also possible and true. The Newlywed Game "should" not "replace" The Amazing Race on a list of the 50 greatest game shows.

In either case, if someone gave me a list 50 shows and asked "should" you replace on this list The Newlywed Game with The Amazing Race? The correct answer is no. It "should" not "replace" it. And visa versa.

In either case, if someone had asked me the follow-up question; "What 'should' GSN have done to put the Amazing Race on the list if 50?", which no one did, I would have answered, "It should have taken Dog Eat Dog, Studs, Love Connection off the list moved Dating Game or Newlywed Game down and put The Amazing Race in the top 10"

Think about this way if someone put together a list of the 50 greatest shows without Password and then asked you "should" I "replace" Pyramid with Password? Of the correct answer is no. There are lots of ways to include both.

Don't blame me because you did not ask the right question.

2. I was asked what are the 50 greatest game shows ever? I gave that answer.

I was not asked either time what "should" be on list of the 13 greatest game shows? If I had been I would not have answered The Newlywed Game or The Dating Game.

The first piece of advice I give my clients, on the stand, answer the question you are asked and ONLY the question you are asked. I did that both times.
