Get ready for another round of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire! ABC is officially reviving the franchise to celebrate its 10th anniversary in August as rumored, with original host Regis Philbin back in the chair. The show will air for 11 nights, starting Aug. 9.
That show's return got me thinking about other game shows I've loved in the past. While I'm not the biggest Millionaire fan these days, I definitely got caught up in the craze back in '99 and could see myself watching again. I also have a soft spot for the Bob Barker era of The Price Is Right, and of course my love for kids' game shows of the late '80s and early '90s is no secret. In more recent times, I've killed many an hour watching Lingo on GSN.
So, I'm putting it to you: What are your favorite game shows of all time?

Jeopardy! Hands down no contest.
1I used to love to watch Family Feud and Price is Right when I was home sick from school.... nowadays, I have a sick soft spot for Wheel of Fortune.
2Even though they're all older than I am, I love Let's Make A Deal, The Newlywed Game (the old one with Bob Eubanks), and Match Game.
3My father DVRs old episodes of What's My Line and I love them!
4Jeopardy! I heart Alex Trebek!
5For some reason, I like "Deal or No Deal?" a lot.
Thats pretty much the only one I watch currently.
6When I was a kid, I loved "The Dating Game".
On classic tv reruns, I liked "This is Your Life" when it was on TCM.
7Price is Right Bob Barker days, I loved the old Family Fued, whatever happened to that station that would show all the old game shows?
8There was a Dating Game in the 90s where you could go out with a back up choice, if your 1st pick didnt work out. But I think of the name right now?
9I used to love Supermarket Sweep! LOL!
10Gotta go Millionaire with REGIS!!!! Love him!
11Also, Wheel of Fortune. I would watch when I was a kid, I ALWAYS got the puzzle. I felt SO smart. Now...not so much.
12Schnappycat me too!
13i love jeopardy!! i watch it almost everyday!
14Jeopardy! I love that it hasn't gotten bogged down in the time-wasting suspense moments so common in game shows these days - just straight-up trivia with a laughably arrogant host!
15love who wants to be a millionaire. never watched Jeopardy, to be honest.
16Price is Right! I used to watch it in college.... ah to be home at 11:00 am again

20Jeopardy
21Who Wants To Be A Millionaire
Match Game
What's My Line
I love the old episodes of Let's Make a Deal and Match Game that run on GSN. My favorite game show growing up was The Price is Right back when Holly Janice and Diane were the models.
22Jeopardy, without a doubt. The SNL spoofs only make it better.
23Jeopardy, for sure. it just makes me feel smarter when I can answer the questions correctly.
24MATCH GAME!
25I loved Supermarket Sweep and Family Feud when I was younger.
26Has anyone ever heard of "The Crystal Dome"? It was an AWESOME British game show. Everyone who knows it loves it... the problem is finding people who know it.
27I loved Lets make a Deal, of course The Price is Right and Supermarket Sweep.
28Deal or No Deal & Millionnaire are my two huge favs...i also enjoy pyramid and that one with the 99 pople...what was it called. i really like watching game shows actually.
29Wheel of Fortune, Jeopardy and Press your luck.
I also have an extra special place in my heart for Shop 'til You Drop and Supermarket Sweep.
30Jeopardy, without a doubt!
31It's the one tv show i'd like to be on, but with my luck i'd get categories like Russian History and the NBA. (i.e. things i know nothing about!)
Wheel of Fortune
32Family Feud
Price is Right
I am not a game-show person at all, but when I was little, I LOVED The Price is Right and Press Your Luck.
Now, if I had to choose, I guess maybe Jeopardy...don't really watch game shows though.
33Jeopardy!!! We watch that show nearly every night. I also have a soft spot for Family Feud (but only back in the days with the first two hosts).
34I was obsessed with Supermarket Sweep when I was younger. (talking like 7 years old..) My boyfriend and I LOVE to watch Let's Make a Deal together, and we do whenever we catch it on. Jeopardy is a favorite too.
35jeopardy and also cash cab!!
