New research names the TV game shows that Washington state loves the most, with Jeopardy! coming out on top. The study, conducted by sweepstake comparison site Casinos Sweeps, analyzed nationwide and regional Google searches relating to TV game shows, to identify which ones are the most popular.
Casinos Sweeps looked at the number of monthly searches across Washington state for the following three search variations to find the most love game shows using the syntax ‘watch [show],’ ‘stream [show] and ‘[show] episodes’.
Commenting on the findings, a Casinos Sweeps spokesperson says: “It’s interesting to see the game shows that rank in the top ten are ones that have been airing for years and years, rather than any newer TV series – with the exception of The Floor.
“It is likely because part of the reason people watch shows such as The Price Is Rightand Deal or No Deal is because of the nostalgia, with fond memories of them playing on TV when they were younger.
“This perhaps explains why Jeopardy! takes the crown as the most popular game show in the most states, having entered its 40th season since it was broadcast in 1984, with other versions dating back even further than this.”
