7. Hollywood Squares
This panel game show was created by Merrill Heatter and Bob Quigley and was aired from 1966 to 1980. It revolves around a game of tic-tac-toe where contestants could play with celebrities. The show was a combination of games and comedy. Joke answers and plausible incorrect bluffs would often be given by the celebrities, supplied by the show’s writers along with question subjects, as per the show’s scripting. But, the gameplay was scripted differently, and they only got the questions in the show. The show had 3500+ episodes over 14 years.
