Editorial Reviews
From Booklist
This updated version includes more than 30 new shows, among them Idiot Savants, Wheel of Fortune 2000, and Win Ben Stein's Money. Appendixes list shows by start date (the first was Truth or Consequences, which debuted as a television series the day commercial television began operating); shows by network; longest-running game shows (The Price is Right tops the list); game-show personalities; and more. The second edition was published in 1995.

Book Description
Fun and informative, this entertaining book is packed with facts about more than 500 game shows, from "You Bet Your Life" to "Jeopardy!" Each entry includes a summary of the program, rules of the game, air dates, hosts, celebrity guests, network affiliations, production companies, producers, and creators. It's been completely revised and updated to include more than 30 news shows, such as:

"Singled Out" "Debt" "Where in Time Is Carmen Sandiego?" "Idiot Savants" "Peer Pressure" "Pictionary" "Trivia Track" "My Generation" "Make Me Laugh."

More than 170 exclusive photographs offer a look at game show milestones and allow a behind-the-scenes glimpse at the most popular programs in the genre.
