Two game shows, two different networks:
1) Password. CBS. Don't show us the audience except at the beginning and end. It's the game. Use the Alphabetics bonus round with upward rollover prize (like it was used in Super Password). Cheap show to produce. Put B+ to A stars on it, no brainer.

After watching the Klugman/Somers ep. on GSN a few months ago, I realized that this has to be one of the simplest games to bring back. Front game is classic Password, have a Lightning Round to determine how much to play for in Alphabetics. Have the game straddle to ensure a looser (heh, I said loose again) format. As long as it's not a bunch of "The Password is (WHOOOOSH!) 'THONG' ". It's an intelligent show that should be treated as such.
The show has worked for decades as a party game, so the set could be along the lines of Win Lose or Draw or Smush, a casual party setting.
