IQ games

A while back Mensa members - the high-IQ bunch - picked the top ten game shows of all time.

These lists are a lot of fun as long as nobody gives a flip about 'em. Of course, some folks on the game show Internets took the Mensa lineup way too seriously. Over at Sitcoms Online they got upset that Match Game didn't make the Mensa grade...and that The Price is Right did make the list.

Well, Gene Rayburn and company probably wouldn't have cried big tears over Mensa dissing them. The show wasn't pitched at high-scorers on the Stanford-Binet. And I really doubt that Drew Carey will throw a party because Mensa thinks his show is number five all-time.

Or maybe Drew will throw a party. Rumor has it that he doesn't need much excuse for a celebration. I did enjoy seeing Cash Cab on the list, but I wasn't too surprised. The questions got pretty erudite as Ben's cab roamed the streets of Gotham.
