As a kid, getting sick enough to stay home from school was almost a blessing in disguise. It meant you got to stay home, nap on the couch, eat chicken soup, and watch a full day of game shows. I don't know about you, but I definitely considered faking sickness just so I could stay home and watch my favorite game shows. Plus, there's nothing more fun than imagining getting to be on one of those game shows. Unfortunately, a lot of the best game shows aren't on television anymore.
