This poll is now closed.
Due to the new ToS, we will no longer do any horny or overtly political Rushmores.

We didn't do a lot of these to begin with so I don't think this is a huge change.

------------------------

Discussion Topic: https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/boards/8-gamefaqs-contests/80708068 (if you want to complain about this topic series do it here and not in the current topic)

Rules: If you list more than 4 things I'm gonna just tally the first 4 you say. If you list the same character multiple times it won't count. Be nice. Don't shove your personal definition of "Mount Rushmore" down others' throats. Have fun. If you're going to majorly change a vote please quote your old vote to make it easier for me.

Game Show-specific-rules: Needs to be a game show that airs/aired on broadcast TV where people win money. I am NOT talking about shows like Survivor, there should be limited "reality" elements to these shows. Episodes should be consumable on a standalone basis.

Things like "Jeopardy" and "Celebrity Jeopardy" are the same thing, you don't have to be overly specific here.

YESTERDAY: A very low-participation day which makes me a little sad. It seems we stray further and further from our shared love of Contests and Contest history :(

This is our first ever 3-way tie for first. Not really a lot of competition! I think Squall > Luigi might have eventually tied Vivi > Mario if the topic went on long enough as people seemed to have forgotten that match (it was in 2003 after all).

ChatGPT's Rushmore: If you were following last topic you'll know that ChatGPT has no knowledge of any contest history and just makes up its own upsets, like Ness and Sans going deep.

  • Jeopardy!. One of the two locks on the board, and the entry for the trivia theme.
  • Wheel of Fortune. The other lock, and fits the non-trivia knowledge category.
  • Takeshi's Castle. I'd like at least one non-US entry, and this fits the physical category.
  • To Tell The Truth. The panel show was a staple of earlier game shows, and with four separate runs, three of which were successful, this gets my nod.
HMs: Family Feud, Who Wants To Be A Millionaire, The Mole, Where In The World is Carmen Sandiego, Smart Ask.

The current Price is Right is actually a revival of a show from the 50s, though they're different enough that you could argue they aren't really the same show. Similarly, modern Jeopardy is a revival of the 60s version.

The Price is Right
Wheel of Fortune
Jeopardy!
Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?

Millionaire is mostly there for being insanely huge when it started, and being one of the most (the most?) internationally popular game shows of all time. The other three have been around forever, and are all wildly influential and referenced, parodied, etc.

I will also admit, I thought of this almost entirely from an American perspective. Jeopardy is the fairly expendable show here from an international perspective (unlike the other three shows it has hardly any success outside the US), though it has been referenced in many works that are internationally popular.

Other shows I want to mention: Family Feud, Takeshi's Castle, Press Your Luck, Let's Make a Deal, Double Dare, Legends of the Hidden Temple

Kinda want to say something older, like maybe Password or To Tell The Truth, but dunno if any were dominant back in the day. Deal or no Deal gets an HM, I guess, but I really don't wanna include it; it's technically a game show, but functions more as reality TV since the game part is mostly luck and the real focus is on people.

First three were obvious, the other one was the tougher call between Feud and Millionaire. Longevity is what's important, though - and is Millionaire even being produced now?

It is. It's been on for 52 years without interruption. Family Feud is at something like 40... WITH one or two interruptions.
