Just watched the first 2 in this series and made me wonder what are your favourite and most disliked TV game shows?
My favourites are (in no particular order):
The Generation Game
8 Out of 10 Cats
Mastermind
QI
Call My Bluff
Ask the Family
Telly Addicts
Never Mind The Buzzcocks
Pointless
Give Us A Clue
Blankety Blank (Terry Wogan and Les Dawson)
Disliked:
Price is Right
321
Tipping point
The Cube
Golden Balls
There's probably more in both lists...

I really dislike any gameshow that is based on general knowledge.
Other shows like gladiators, catchphrase, deal or no deal (just) are far superior to GA based shows.

were all favourites because the people on them invariably made really stupid answers, also bulls eye because they always showed you what you could of won (and it was elating to see what that episodes morons were not getting)
most of the others are sometimes fun to watch but get boring really fast if watched regularly
its always a good time filler in the evenings after tea but before bed time for the kids to chill out and get a little smarter whilst watching

Quote from: Roadie cooking shows, "celebrities" dancing, cooking
Think you mentioned cooking twice lol but yea i agree that cooking shows are worth 2x the detestment lol. As for celeb worshipping shows, yes i'm also a bit against those too. I don't mind the dancing versions though as long as the women are hot and wearing minimal coverage

I am at a loss for how Deal Or No Deal has lasted so long. To me the joy of a quiz is joining in at home. DOND is just people opening boxes and trying to use will power to change the contents of the already chosen boxes!
Tipping Point is a recent dislike. So much time wasting. Anything the contestant says seems to have to be repeated by the host and there are sound effects to fit every moment. Oh, and it has to be "DROP zone" if contestants dare to abridge the request to "zone" the host will insist on saying it in full. The games that accompany National Lottery also seem to be dire.
Celebrity Who Wants To Be A Millionaire live shows always annoyed me. There is another team waiting to come to win some money for their charity and Chris waffled on with the current team about nothing in particular wasting time so by the time the new team came on, if they came on at all, they only got a few hundred pounds.

Anything to do with cooking, celebs(?) or talent shows should get a one-way ticket to the vet!

I've never got DOND.
I do like Come Dine With Me - mainly for the caustic comments from Dave Lamb (an apt name if ever there was one

Tipping point - who thought that concept was a good idea? Probably one of the most boring of all games shows along with Golden Balls
