The classic game of bluff gets turned into human form. Can you guess who is the real person and who are the imposters? Many hours were spent trying to figure it out.

Why we like it: you can't deny that the panel made every episode a class affair

Trivia time: Kitty Carlisle, a staple on the show since its inception in 1956, has appeared on all five editions of the series!

Trivia time: among the show's stars in the 70s, a younger Kathie Lee Johnson (Gifford).

Why we like it: who doesn't like a good game of charades now and then?

Trivia time: Puzzles were written by Blockbusters creator Steve Ryan

Trivia time: The audience was present during the question round in the 1990 version, but no audience is present during the Big Sweep and Bonus Round. Audience applause tracks and camera shots of them before the show starts are used to create the illusion that an audience was present at all times during the show. The audience also wasn't nearly big as usual, there are mirrors on both sides. They were removed late in the run.

If not for the big money era, Thom McKee's record streak may still be intact. The show isn't that high because of the streak, though.

Why we like it: It's this high because it's a perfect mix of trivia and tic tac toe. It's also one of the rare shows where tweaks in the middle of it's run actually enhanced the show, instead of detract from it.

Trivia Time: the biggest pot set on the 70's/80's version was $36,800, won by Thom McKee.

Games aren't just for adults. How this classic children's game which was Nickelodeon's flagship show for many years did not make GSN's Top 50 is beyond us.

Why we like it: the piece de resistance, the Obstacle Course

Trivia Time: original host Marc Summers served as executive consultant for the Double Dare 2000 revival.

We remember when our parents played this game to see how
well they knew each other. Yes, It's that addicting.

Why we like it: Spontaneity, and just what people will say when the camera is on them.

Trivia Time: you already know about the "In the ass, Bob" legend, but did you know that the theme had lyrics?

Why we like it: Yet, it truly is about trivia, strategy and luck, a combination guaranteed to make you say... well, you know.

Trivia time: From left to right, the ten villains that made up "The Gauntlet of Villains" were Alphonse the Gangster, Bruno the Headsman, Mr. Van Louse the Landlord, Nero the Fiddler, Count Nibbleneck the Vampire, Frank and his little friend Stein, Kid Rotten the Gunslinger, Jeremy Swash the Pirate, Dr. Deranged the Mad Professor and Lucretia the Witch.

Why we like it: Not only was this the entertainment masterpiece that put MTV as a game haven on the map, it also put on the map the careers of Ken Ober, Colin Quinn, and this little bit actor by the name of Adam Sandler.

Trivia time: The show is most remembered for the way they disposed of losing contestants. First of all, the contestants were all seated in recliners. If you lost, your chair would be pulled back through a trick wall or your chair would be lifted up and back.

By far the best board game to TV translation of all time. Chuck Woolery was the perfect helmsman as players tried to guess words from very clever clues.

Why we like it: Chuck was at his element hosting this game.

Trivia time: Later in the run, as was the case when viewers sent in poems on Card Sharks, words and clues were sent in from viewers on Scrabble, and if a clue and word was read, the viewer who sent the word in won a Scrabble T-Shirt.

It's not just a show. It's a cultural and cathartic experience as America bands together to combat obesity.

Why we like it: these were real people with real problems, willing to take real action to solve them.

Trivia time: Bob Harper and Jillian Michaels, the trainers on the show, were also the trainers on the Australian version.

This is the highest slot for a rookie show, but Regis makes this work. This could have been higher should they find another judge besides David Hasselhoff.

Why we like it: it's Gong Show redux

Trivia time: Season 1 finalist cloggers All That also competed on Extreme Gong and 30 Seconds to Fame.

Heidi Klum is looking for America's newest up and coming designer... and America is loving every minute of it.

Why we like it: The show doesn't work just because it's about the world of fashion. It works because they have a perfect blend of drama and talent competition without letting the drama get too much of the limelight.

Trivia time: Elizabeth Hurley is signed on to host a British version, "Project Catwalk."

From Hollywood... almost live... it's the Gong Show! Never before on television has a one-instrument gamelan been so funny.

Why we like it: This is the original talent show competition. The show with the 3 judge format that spawned off shows like America's Got  Talent and American Idol. Praise to Jaye P. Morgan, Jamie Farr, The Unknown Comic, Gene, Gene the Dancing Machine and Chuckie Baby!

Trivia time: Winners on the Gong Show included Pee Wee Herman and Oingo Boingo, who's members included one Danny Elfman

The game you either loved or feared as a kid came back in full force as part of the GSN rebrand.

Why we like it: Let's forget about the third season, in which they took themselves way too seriously. The first 2 seasons were not only fun, but were truly entertaining. Bil Dwyer and Zach Selwyn were the perfect mix of commentary that made the show go.

Trivia time: many of the show's players were members of the Los Angeles Dodgeball Society.
