Where Have All of the Game Shows Gone?

For generations, TV game shows like Who Wants to Be A Millionaire? and The Price Is Right have been the bread and butter of wholesome family entertainment. Families from all parts of the world would sit down for dinner and unwind with a harmless game of trivia.
