My vote goes to Deal or No Deal. It's one of the most (if not the most) popular game show these days and starting this September, it's going to be on five days a week. :evil: What don't I like about this show? There's too many we'll be backs, commercial breaks, and in general, is more stretched than most game shows. When I used to watch Deal or No Deal, I'd fast forward during most of the game show. I know these shows need commercials to make money, but at Deal or No Deal, it's excessive. And all you do is open cases and accept/decline an offer, that's it. The viewer at home can’t participate in the game because Deal or No Deal is all about the contestant's luck, not on skills. Nonetheless, it’s a cool concept when you first watch the show, but after a while, it’s downright stale.

Generally TV Sucks --------Most TV is DUMBED down to the lowest common denominator which certainly makes one concerned about the future . I am also concerned about too damn much button pushing ( computer gaming to excess by kids ) - But that's 'nother thread

I don't know if it's considered a Game Show...but I was enjoying MTVs show...A G to a Gentleman..where 14 wannabe thugs compete for a $100,000 prize if they can become a Gentleman..hosted by P.Diddys former man-servant...Fonsworth Bentley..

I used to think it was The Weakest Link, but Deal or No Deal takes it to a new level. This is a show for the lowest common denominator, where winning is based on nothing more than pure luck. At least TWL took some form of skill. What sort of skill do you need on DOND?

American Idol I hate that show!

Is that considered a game show? If so then it gets my vote, along with all the other crappy shows that follow it's format, but with a different 'skill'. Does Survivor count too, another crapfest there...

I am not sure, but just in case it does count It needs to be considered.

The only one I watch occasionally is Millionaire or Jeopardy while I'm eating/making lunch. At least it requires some knowledge. In any case, they should all be called "Commercials or more Commercials".
