Game shows

[edit]

Despite little genre output when compared to NBC and ABC, CBS is the last remainingBig Three television networksto carry daytime game shows. While NBC and ABC were still producing several game shows in daytime, CBS gave up on the format during the 1967–68 season. From 1968 until March 1972, the network carried no game shows. However, as part of CBS's "rural purge"effort to lure wealthier suburban viewers, CBS executiveFred Silvermancommissioned the game showAmateur's Guide to Love.Hosted byGene Rayburn,the show ran from March 27 to June 23.

Despite the failure ofAmateur's Guide,Silverman commissioned three other games for debut on September 4 –The New Price Is Right,Gambit,andThe Joker's Wild– to replace the reruns seen in the daytime slots up to this point. All were major hits, and more games were added as time went on;Jokerended in 1975 andGambitin 1976, but both have spawned revivals.The Price Is Righthas aired continuously in daytime on CBS since its debut.

Currently, CBS carries two network games:The Price Is Rightand a revival ofLet's Make a Dealwhich debuted in 2009. Prior toDeal,the last game on CBS (other thanPrice) was theRay Combs-hosted revival ofFamily Feud,which aired from 1988 to 1993.
