As an American, I discovered British panel and game shows through QI and since then I have completely fallen in love with them. Would I Lie To You and QI being my two favorites, but I have at least watched most of them. The world of these shows is vast and with a recurring cast of comedians, all with the kind of quiet grace of British TV which is so, so much better than the loud and drama-filled US TV. If I had been born in the UK, I imagine I would completely and totally agree with you about how strongly I identify with these shows.

@bobomb1986 Jeopardy is the one US gameshow that I think is on the same level as UK gameshows because it has the quiet grace I was referring to. Although, I haven't seen it since Alex Trebek passed, hopefully it hasn't changed too much.

JaceJenius That is EXTREMELY interesting. I haven't heard anything at all about an American wilty, but I'm afraid it will stray too far away from the UK version, like the difference between Great British Bake Off and American game shows, if you see what I mean.

JaceJenius After some quick research and looking at some clips, yes the American wilty has started (as of April 2022) and I have to say, it definitely lacks the chemistry of the UK version but that isn't quite fair because of how long the UK version has run, but it isn't half bad! It is certainly more... American, but not in an annoying way.
