The Top 10 are listed numerically, but the other 50 are listed alphabetically. As to be expected, G -T has the most shows on the list with 12, IIRC. I\'m counting Concentration in that since G-T produced two versions of it. The big three panel shows, BTC, etc. Overall, I think the list is a good one.

The list is referenced in this week\'s reader\'s letters...highlights included clamoring for PYL to be in the top 10 (instead of What\'s My Line, which one reader said wasn\'t really a game show), Crosswits being mentioned as an omission, and another writer insisting that Bill Cullen get a mention in the TPIR entry.

I wonder which among our number will step forward and admit to sending the letter.

I admit nothing.

What\'s the game show equivalent of \"he who smelt it surely dealt it\"?

Interesting that It\'s Academic made the list, considering it\'s mainly a local program....no real issue with any of the ones on the list.

\"local\" doesn\'t seem to be the best word to describe that program.

\"Franchised\" might be the better terminology. \"Bowling for Dollars\" is well-remembered in the markets in which it was franchised.
