Long before reality TV shows like Survivor came about, the people of the 50s fell in love with game shows. Some of the games were played for laughs and some for prizes and some for big money. Many game shows have fallen through the cracks over the years, while a few have stood the test of time, surviving today in contemporary form.

How many of these amazing game shows have you seen? Can you name all of them?
