When I was a kid, one of the joys of being too sick to go to school was watching television from the time I woke up until it was time to take my temperature again before bed (with me hoping for a temp above 100). I loved watching reruns of sitcoms more than anything. They were all before my time and all in black-and-white.
From late morning and into the afternoon came the game shows. Honestly, it was rarely about the game and more about the host for me.
