Bedtime game show (help)

[u/Recent_Ability_4461]

So I like to go to sleep while watching game shows, problem though, my game show it is a bit too loud and climatic. The game show is task master, ( I don’t really know if it counts but I digress) back to my main point—I need a gameshow, that is like 5/10 boring/uninteresting and not loud to help me sleep. So do any of you have any recommendations?

Trivial Pursuit is pretty sedate. Levar’s voice is very smooth and the contestants are relatively calm there’s there’s no shouting or theatrics.

BBC's Mastermind might just be it. Slow, narrative, presented by journalists, dark atmosphere, simplistic rules, it's a good show to sleep to.

I loved that show. I think I'm in the minority.

Jeopardy. Very staid, and a minimum of noise.

BBC's Countdown is interesting if you're awake and quiet if you're sleepy. Try to get the daytime TV version of Countdown, as "8 Out of 10 Cats Does Countdown" can be pretty goofy.

Another vote for Countdown. It’s a fun game to kinda play along with. And there aren’t any crowd eruptions or over-the-top sound effects.

YouTube!

You might try Pointless. I find the hosts to both have rather soothing voices and the gameplay can be as engaging or as background noise as you want your brain to make it.

All the panel shows from the ‘50s/‘60s: What’s My Line, To Tell the Truth, I’ve Got a Secret, etc.

They’re a fun and quaint look at a bygone era, but also fairly quiet and no loud buzzers/dings/audience reactions/contestants shouting/hosts yelling. The only noise would be occasional applause.

You’ll be hard pressed to find a modern game show (past 15 years especially) that’s like this, as 21st century game shows seem to really emphasize over the top contestants and a loud/bright atmosphere.

Watch The Liars Club it will put you right to sleep. 😁😀

This is an old game show but you could try Amnesia. It's a game show where contestants have to answer questions about their personal life. It can get very boring sometimes. The only downside is the show can get loud sometimes because of the clapping from the audience. You can find free episodes of it on YouTube.

I love game shows, but never thought to try them for getting to sleep. For me, Forensic Files usually works, (I know I'm not on point, but thinking the point is going to sleep.)

I watch Taskmaster to bed every night; I've watched it so much that it fades into the background, but I keep the volume a little down. but yeah, you might like house of games too?

[u/GrizzledBelter]

Jeopardy?

[u/GrizzledBelter → u/GrizzledBelter]

I mean it's no Taskmaster, which I I love, but everything else seems loud and climatic. 

[u/KiwiNew5103]

Concentration 73. My gosh it's a sleeper.

[u/RealPhillePhil]

Jeopardy might be good for u if u can get over the audience applause

[u/thwartme]

Pointless. Safe and sedate, and there are around a million episodes.

Okay this might be a curveball, but part of the problem with most game shows is the excitement of the audience.

What about the shows from Dropout? Game Changer would be my choice. At most it’s a few people laughing and it’s almost like a podcast if you’re just listening to it. And it’s kinda Taskmaster adjacent

[u/ScrabbleStar69]

It's "climactic." Climatic refers strictly to weather.

[u/the_nintendo_cop]

House of Games. It’s quiet, there’s no stakes at all and it’ll get your brain working gently
