It's Just a Game...or More?
The game show has been a major player in television history throughout the many decades not just in terms of longetivity of the genre but the shows themselves. Even the most early ones starting with Truth or Consequences and You Bet Your Life left some legacy leading to other shows that from the originals have also been reinvented including The Price is Right, Let's Make a Deal, Hollywood Squares, and Family Feud. The shows that didn't sustain through scandal led to a dark period but created a opening through innovation for shows such as Jeopardy! and The Match Game. The components of comedy, celebrity, family, and good old friendly competition kept America entertained over time.
