All “Big Three” networks carried a variety of game shows on both daytime and primetime schedules until their popularity began to fizzle in the ’80s and ’90s. Game shows go all the way back to the days of radio, with one such program becoming the first game show to air on broadcast television – “Truth or Consequences” debuted on July 1, 1941, and before long the genre became a popular form of entertainment. Every day after school I rushed through my homework so that I’d have time to watch “Tattletales” and “Tic Tac Dough.” As a kid, I relished snow days and sick days when I could miss school and curl up on the sofa to watch all my favorites – “Pyramid,” “Family Feud” and “Password” were just a few. It seems as though the past few years have brought a resurgence of game shows, which were once a staple of both daytime and primetime television viewing.
