Television cable network founded in 1994, dedicated to the [[Game Show]] genre. In particular, Game Show Network was founded to air reruns of classic TV game shows from the 1950s onward. Starting in the late 1990s, the network began creating its own, starting with live, call-in programs and eventually branching out into original formats and revivals of obscure formats.
 
At first, the network's rerun lineup ran the gamut from [[Mark Goodson|Goodson-Todman]] stalwarts such as ''[[The Price Is Right]]'', ''[[Password]]'', ''[[Family Feud]]'', and ''[[Match Game]]'' to other familiar programs owned by Sony (such as ''[[Pyramid]]'', ''[[Jeopardy!]]'', ''[[Wheel of Fortune]]'', ''[[Tic-Tac-Dough]]'', ''[[The Newlywed Game]]'', and ''[[The JokersJoker's Wild]]''). Over time, the lineup has undergone countless changes, thanks in no small part to some degree of [[Network Decay]].
 
The current schedule is sometimes criticized by fans for relying too much on fairly recent material (''[[1 vs. 100|One Versus a Hundred]]'', ''[[Deal or No Deal]]'', the Richard Karn / John O'Hurley / Steve Harvey seasons of ''Family Feud'') and material that doesn't quite qualify as game shows (''High Stakes Poker'', ''[[Dancing With the Stars]]'').
