"Play Your Hunch" - Goodson-Todman's longest running series (six years) to never be revived. The show burned through a lot of demonstrations over the years to justify the questions.

One was hosted by Gary Kroeger and ran on Pax around 2002, and the other ran on a smaller cable network (The Hub or something? Maybe Discovery Family?). They were both pretty short-lived, so Steve may have a point. But Sam also makes good points about other stunt shows still had an audience.If we're talking about cable shows, how about Win Ben Stein's Money? Ran for years, launched Jimmy Kimmel's career...does anybody remember it now?That said, while I quite like WBSM, I don't think it could be revived, largely because it seems to me to be completely dependent on Ben Stein's persona. I doubt he would come back, and I also doubt the show would work if you swapped Ben out for a Jeopardy superchampion or whatever.
