Good quiz, but you should accept the answer for #3 without "G.E." as well.

wonder what the date is - there's some newer shows that I'm surprised didn't make the list. I love Cash Cab and I think Lingo is a great show too. I hate Deal or No Deal, but I suspected it would be on the list.

Jim Lange was probably the better-known host of the Dating Game. Great quiz otherwise.

When does Deal or No Deal make the top 50? Seems to me it has earned its stripes.

Yeah, if you're going to include all hosts, include them for each game. And I'd accept 2 Mintue Drill as an answer. Was fun though.

I decided to only include the host(s) that I thought were most associated with the show. Considering some of these shows have 4-5 hosts, listing all of them would be too messy in my opinion.

I understand that What's my Line is guessed so little because of its age, but man was that a great show. Really glad to see that it made the top five.

No love for "Beat the Geeks" or "Cram"? "Press Your Luck" not being here is a crime (not the fault of this quiz's author) ... good quiz!

I believe TV Guide made the list around 2001 which explains the exclusion of Deal or No Deal and other shows.
