On the subject of game shows with adaptations that last a lot longer in other countries, Don't Forget The Lyrics! still exists in France ("N'oubliez pas les paroles!"), is still quite popular and still airing every day on a major station. With occasional prime events, usually with champions or celebrities playing for charity.

If what I saw on wikipedia is correct, the original US show only lasted from 2007 to 2011.

Interestingly the formula of the French version has changed quite a bit from the original too.
