What is the difference between a quiz show and a game show?

In the 1950s, the big money shows were generally referred to as quiz shows. Unfortunately for the genre, the quiz show scandals occurred, which nearly destroyed the entire genre. The term "game show" is more common in the US today, and one reason is that producers did not want to connect new shows to the rigged shows of the 1950s. Further, shows using quiz questions basically disappeared until the premiere of Jeopardy! in 1964, which, owing to the scandals, provided the contestants with all the answers but made them come up with the questions.Whether "game show" or "quiz show" is used depends on the country. However, quiz shows carry the connotation of answering questions, while there are many game shows that do not involve trivia at all (for example, The Dating Game and Match Game).
