There are many different kinds of game shows on the TV these days, each and every one is very unique and enjoyable. Whenever I have the time, I watch my favorite game shows, Wheel of Fortune, Jeopardy, and Family Feud. Do you enjoy watching games shows too ? Which are your favorites ? Do you have game shows on the TV in your country ?

Yes, Jeopardy is a very interesting show, not easy either. "Are You Smarter than a 5th. Grader ?" ! I don't know that one. Some thing new to me. The name doesn't quite sound that attractive, any way.

When I was young, 'Wheel of Fortune' is my favorite game show!
Later I love to watch "Who wants to be a Millionaire" and that
was a very successful game show few years back. All of us will
be sitting right in front of our television and try to get the
answers too . Another game show that my family and
I love to watch was "Identity" where contestants has to guess
which identity matched a dozen of strangers and win the money.
"Deal of No Deal" also a popular game show in Malaysia and they
have it in English and Chinese version.

Yes, some of the game shows have programs in different countries too. That makes the programs very interesting. Wheel of Fortune also has the program in a number of countries, and is very popular. Very successful, doing so well.

I watch the game shows every evening after I get back home from work, if I don't get back too late. Watching game shows has pretty much become one of my favorite ways of relaxation. I also like Family Feud , but I don't get to watch that because the timing does not fit.

I'm not much into game shows, although if someone else is watching one I certainly enjoy watching it with them. I like Wheel of Fortune and Cash Cab. I wish I had the cable channel The Game Show Network (GSN) because they show great old games shows like Press Your Luck and the $25,000 Pyramid.

GSN is a very good channel. I have not subscribed to that channel either. It would have many different game show programs there. Watching game shows is pretty addictive. I just can't miss my favorite game shows, Jeopardy and Wheel of Fortune.

I used to love to watch game shows, but over the years I have lost my favorites or lost track of the time slots they have moved too. I don't watch them much anymore. I catch Jeopardy on every now and again but my b/f always answers the questions right and it bugs me. He walks around like a rooster after we watch that show for a good hour or more

Hi Jen. Oh, so your b/f is very smart then ! Well, depending on the subject matter, you may have the chance to have the right answers ! Any way, it is always enjoyable to watch how the partcipants in the shows do , wouldn't you say ?

I sometimes watch them. Because I don't have much time. I work all day at my company. And the game shows on night is quite few. I like the game shows about children or market.

Yes, the timings do not fit for watching for some of the shows. It's the same here. Though I like to watch the show, just does not fit with my work schedules.

I can't say that game shows really interest me that much. I'm not really into game shows. I might occasionally watch an episode of jeopardy or something, as my husband does enjoy watching it from time to time. Other than that, I don't watch any game shows. They just don't interest me that much.

Yeah, some people don't like watching game shows. They find them very boring. Sure, people have different preferences in the ways of enjoyments. Some people like watching sports games instead of those game shows like Jeopardy and Wheel of Fortune.

No I never watch any game shows on TV. I find them to be boring, but back when my Mom & Aunt were still alive I used to watch it with them because thats what they liked to watch. My Aunt was very smart & she knew many of the answers on Jeopardy & she would almost always guess the puzzle on Wheel of Fortune way before any of us could. Watching those game shows now would just make me miss them & make me sad because they are no longer with us.

Yeah, I can sense you miss your Mom and Aunt very much. I am certainly very impressed with your Aunt's knowledge. She must be very educated, and very well-read on a variety of subjects.

We have a lot of game shows in my country, and I do love to watch them too. My favorite is wheel of fortune, except when you know the answer before the TV, I always want to help them and can't! I find the problem is the time that they come on is not convenient at all so I don't get to watch them much. They are usually on during the day, so I guess they are geared more for a different age than mine. I do play these games on the internet though. When I get DVR, I will get to see more of these shows which I am excited about.

Very relaxing and enjoyable to watch the game shows, isn't it ? Yes, Wheel of Fortune is one of my favorites too. I watch the show every evening, during the week, except on the days I get back home very late, of course. Wouldn't want to miss it at all.

I love watching game shows sometimes, they're fun! I like watching Wheel of Fortune, Who Wants to Be a Millionare?, Deal Or No Deal, Family Feud, Lingo, The Price is Right, etc. I live in America, so there's a bunch.
I don't like Jeopardy that much because it's so hard, I rarely know any of the questions or what they're talking about. xD

Oh, you watch many game shows ! Family Feud is very enjoyable. Yes, you are right, Jeopardy is a little hard. Some times, I have no idea what the question is at all. But, I am very amazed with the knowledge the participants have. Well-read and well-informed.

I do like watching the TV Series too. But, with the timing of the shows in the day, I often missed them since I am mostly at work then. Yeah, the TV Series can be very addictive too.
