Jeopardy. I'm smart enough to be really good at it (so much so that every one of my friends now refuse to ever play Jeopardy video games against me, because I annihilate them). And even the questions I don't know the answers to are adding information into my brain.

I used to like Wheel as well, but it got really stupid about 20 years ago. My theory was that they ran out of good puzzles, and had to start using terrible ones where the clues barely fit the concept. As an example, "Phrase" used to mean a phrase that was actually somewhat common knowledge or in general usage - then "Phrase" started being used for just any old random sentence that no one has ever really said in a meaningful way before.

I was really good at solving puzzles when I was a kid (I got "Archbishop of Canterbury" off like 4-5 letters, it was my proudest moment ever). But after 2000 or so watching Wheel started hurting my brain with how stupid some of the puzzles/clues were.
