I really think those three permeated American culture the most, at least in America.

There are other shows like WWTBAM and DOND, but they were short lasting and people soon forgot about them.

Press Your Luck was always my favorite, but yeah. Those three have lasted an incredibly long time. See also Family Feud.

WWTBAM is still on in syndication somehow, despite having consistently dismal ratings, not having actually made anyone a millionaire in over a decade, and currently having a host that has about as much personality as a rock.

I like Alec Baldwins Match Game.

Why? It's just like Harvey Feud, the answer is "penis" or "boobs" more than half the time.

Those are the top 3 for sure. Wayne Brady's Let's Make a Deal is quite popular. Then you have Harvey's Family Feud to round out a top 5, but I feel Feud is the weakest of the bunch.

Hollywood Squares used to be a big deal and it was kind of a precursor to WWTBAM in some ways.

Any mention of Hollywood Squares always reminds me of the hilarious "You fool!" episode.

Which was the one from the '80s where that guy spent day and night studying the game show obsessively and went on it to hustle them out of a shitload of money since he saw a flaw in their game he could exploit?

I saw a documentary about it some years ago and it was pretty cool. I think he basically bankrupted that shit.

That was Press Your Luck. He found an exploitable pattern in the board's "random" sequence.
