TVCrunch poured through the annals of game show history to develop a list of the Top 25 Worst Game Shows of All Time. There's only one problem; some of the best, most innovative and fun game shows snuck on to their list!
Here's the entire list:
25. Classic Concentration
24. Card Sharks
23. The Weakest Link
22. 1 vs. 100
21. Legends of the Hidden Temple
20. Sale of the Century
19. Distraction (comedy central)
18. The Singing Bee
17. Shop ‘til You Drop 16. Supermarket Sweep
15. Win, Lose or Draw
14. Dog Eat Dog
13. Identity
12. Rock & Roll Jeopardy!
11. Amnesia
10. Scrabble
9. My Dad is Better Than Your Dad
8. Set For Life
7. Hole in the Wall
6. Bowling for Dollars
5. Temptation
4. The Moment of Truth
3. The Chair
2. Yahtzee
1. Hurl!
I went ahead and highlighted some of my favorites for your consideration. For instance, Legends of the Hidden Temple was groundbreaking. It combined history (sort of) with running, extreme stunts, creepy guards and best of all, children. You're telling me that's wrong?
And what about Rock 'N Roll Jeopardy? You get all the fun of regular Jeopardy except there are no dud categories. Plus Jeff Probst was a rockin' host (pun intended).
The list is proposterous. Get a clue TVCrunch, get a clue.

Run For Money is Going To Run My Life
Necessity begets innovation and this new reality show is no exception.
Sci-Fi's Run For Money is going to be my new favorite program as it combines 24 and Legends of the Hidden Temple.
50 people are unleashed in fancy locations and compete against each other in challenges for cash and prizes. However, they are being relentlessly pursued by "hunters" who are trying to take them out of the game. The contestants get money every second they stay alive and can walk-away at any point. If they don't and they're attacked by a hunter then they lose everything.
The challenges are an hour long and the show is in real-time, adding to the intensity. As the hour ticks by the playing field gets smaller and more hunters come out. The last person standing gets the grand prize.
This show is going to be like crack for me. Challenges, hunters, frayed nerves, glamorous locations, fierce temple guards...err hunters, and people who don't know when to quit.
Let's just hope there's no shrine of the silver monkey. Otherwise these people are dead in the water.
