Game shows remained a fixture of American daytime television through the 1960s after the quiz show scandals. Lower-stakes games made a slight comeback in daytime in the early 1960s; examples include ''[[Jeopardy!]]'' which began in 1964 and the original version of ''The Match Game'' first aired in 1962. ''[[Let's Make a Deal]]'' began in 1963 and the 1960s also marked the debut of ''Hollywood Squares'', ''[[Password (American game show)|Password]]'', ''[[The Dating Game]]'', and ''[[The Newlywed Game]]''.

Though [[CBS]] gave up on daytime game shows in 1968, the other networks did not follow suit. [[Color television]] was introduced to the game show genre in the late 1960s on all three networks. The 1970s saw a renaissance of the game show as new games and massive upgrades to existing games made debuts on the major networks. ''[[The Price Is Right (American game show)|The New Price Is Right]]'', an update of the 1950s-era game show ''[[The Price Is Right (1956 American game show)|The Price Is Right]]'', debuted in 1972 and marked CBS's return to the game show format in its [[rural purge]]. ''The Match Game'' became "Big Money" ''[[Match Game]] 73'', which proved popular enough to prompt a spin-off, ''[[Family Feud]]'', on ABC in 1976. ''[[Pyramid (game show)|The $10,000 Pyramid]]'' and its numerous higher-stakes derivatives also debuted in 1973, while the 1970s also saw the return of formerly disgraced producer and [[game show host]] [[Jack Barry (game show host)|Jack Barry]], who debuted ''[[The Joker's Wild]]'' and a clean version of the previously rigged ''[[Tic-Tac-Dough]]'' in the 1970s. ''[[Wheel of Fortune (American game show)|Wheel of Fortune]]'' debuted on NBC in 1975. The [[Prime Time Access Rule]], which took effect in 1971, barred networks from broadcasting in the 7–8 p.m. time slot immediately preceding [[prime time]], opening up time slots for [[broadcast syndication|syndicated]] programming. Most of the syndicated programs were "nighttime" adaptations of network daytime game shows. These game shows originally aired once a week, but by the late 1970s and early 1980s most of the games had transitioned to five days a week. Many people were amazed at this and in the late 2000s, gameshows were aired 7 times a week, twice a day.
