Where To Watch
Can you recognize sitcom characters on game shows?
Some of your favorite characters went on Jeopardy, Feud, Wheel and more!
Everyone loves watching game shows, and on some level we all dream about going on one. They can seem like easy money from the comfort of our couch.
Well, television characters feel the same way themselves. Sitcoms have continually used game shows as hilarious setpieces.
Fictional characters have turned up on game shows for decades. We gathered some of our favorites from the 1950s through 1990s. Try to I.D. them all!

These Game Shows are all deserve to be MeTV.
It's not so much "deserving" because they can be worthy unto themselves. But the place where it's most appropriate to be showing them. On the network dedicated to Game Shows is where the widest, most interested audience can tune it to enjoy them!

The Highway Patrol is one of the few 1950's truly classic TV Series being shown. Must be tough enough to watch it that early. But I don't think Viewers would be pleased it were replaced by a Game Show!
You got 10 out of 10

Aristophanes is ridiculous!
