Status
With the continued boom in the game show and unscripted industry, I am creating this handy guide that details the status of game shows on their respective networks. Episode counts will be posted where available. Please note that we are trying to keep this mainly to game shows. A show categorized as "reality competition" does not qualify. Everything will be broken down by network.
