Well, we aficionados, back in 2006, rated their #1, #2, #5 and #7 in the same spot. However, likely due the blurred line of reality show/game show, their #3 and #4 was ranked by us as #74 and #65, respectively. Our #9 and #10, Concentration and To Tell the Truth aren't even on the list. And Love Connection isn't a game show!

Queen For A Day, hmmm?
Were those people's sob stories ever checked out for veracity?
How are we to know the day's winner, for example, really needed an iron lung?
They might've wanted to hawk the thing for top dollar on eBay.

"Deal or No Deal" makes the Top 10, yet "Pyramid" is 15.

I wtf'd. Oh well, at least no Friggin' Studs.

When you're at the grocery game and you hear the beep, think of all the fun you could have at "Crazy Rachel's Checkout Counter!"

Yes; following that Winner's Circle, Dick pointed out the blooper and handed the contestant the slide.

You know, I thought I remembered seeing that episode or hearing on here about it, but I wasn't 100% sure and didn't want to say...

My basic problem with most "of all time" lists is how heavily skewed it is toward more recent shows/songs/movies/whatever.

Were I to do a list, I would not consider anything less than five to ten years old, based on the category.  There needs to be enough time to look back and say, "Yeah, that really was an all time great."

If Love Connection, The Datine Game, & The Newlywed Game are included why isn't Divorce Court?  They have the happiest endings of all.

I was just about to compliment the TV Crunch staff on getting the dates right until I saw they have Chuck Woolery (yes, he left....end it! We're focusing on Matt O.'s invincibility now) leaving Wheel Of Fortune in 1983. Bzzzzz. Sorry. Twas 1981 when he left WOF.

And Chuck Wollery's cousin. I believe he appeared on a Celebrity Fued special.
