List time

Time for another list - game shows you have loved - or not!

The Krypton Factor had some merit the first time around - and it's back on air again, although I haven't watched it yet.

I suppose everybody must have watched Blind Date at some time in their lives - although most would now deny it.

Call My Bluff was fun in its time - mostly due to the panel members.

Have I Got News For You? is still great as is QI, and I've grown to like Mock the Week - but definitely not Argumental - contrived and very not funny.

I like some periods of Never Mind the Buzzcocks but Jo won't watch it, so I seldom see it. Likewise, Pop Quiz and They Think It's All Over. A Question of Sport used to be essential viewing but it's lost the plot now.

Back in the 50's and early 60's, What's My Line was about the only panel game on TV and was very watchable, even if it was really a radio show on TV.

Whose Line is it Anyway had its moments but I never quite got Shooting Stars.

Catchphrase and Countdown could be fun as well.

The £64,000 Question was, I think, fairly good, although I can barely remember it. More recently, Blockbusters and Fifteen to One were essential viewing.

Mastermind and University Challenge were, and are, classics of course.

Top of the Form is from a bygone era but surely the most successful game show of all time has to be Who Wants to be a Millionaire? The Weakest Link was fun for a while but it's at least two Wicked Witch facelifts overdue to be removed from screen.

Personally, I can't stand most of the more recent reality shows. Corny though they were, Take Your Pick and Double Your Money leave far fonder memories.

3-2-1 had Ted Rogers of course, but Jim Bowen on Bullseye? How has he managed to become an icon now?

At certain times in our lives, Generation Game and the Golden Shot were unavoidable peak time viewing and even Mr & Mrs, Play Your Cards Right and The Price is Right were popular for a while.
