	Could you put the range of years instead of just the debut date?

	Definitely need more information defining the question - years? Number of episodes? There have been several iterations of Password (Password Plus, Super Password, etc.), Pyramid has been revived with Donny Osmond, and it's surprising that Family Feud doesn't appear. What's the source?

	How about It's Academic.

	I agree with 30sarah. I really expected to see Password, and was kind of surprised Pyramid and Family Feud weren't there. Can't believe I forgot Let's Make a Deal!

	It would be nice to know whether longest running is in terms of years, or if it's number of episodes. If it's years, do re-runs count? And I'm also surprised by Family Feud, Pyramid, and Password not being there.

	Actually, it looks like this measures the longest-running version. Price is Right focuses on the current incarntion running for 38 years, since it outlasted the original '56-'65 run. Jeopardy! is 26 years, because the Art Fleming show didn't last as long as the Alex Trebek version. Hollywood Squares counts the original 16 year run, since the Tom Bergeron's revival only lasted 6. I think that it should count Wheel of Fortune twice, since the original daytime show lasted 16 years, while the current, syndie version is going strong after 27. Considering You Bet Your Life made it on the list and it went off the air after 11 years, I think the daytime Wheel of Fortune would qualify twice.

	Great quiz. Sheesh! I need to watch some more "Black & White Overnight" on Game Show Network! Surprised not to see "Beat the Clock".

	Good quiz. Agree that it could use a bit more context than just year debuted. But solid and entertaining.
