** When it became known that Mike was mistreating and even firing long-time staffers from ''Jeopardy!'' (such as senior contestant coordinator [[https://thejeopardyfan.com/2020/10/jeopardy-sued-by-former-employee-for-age-discrimination.html Glenn Kagan]]), fans and former contestants were outraged. Mike had a history of this on ''Price'', having a role in letting producer Roger Dobkowitz, announcer Rich Fields and director Richard Dipirro go. Fans of ''Price'' have accused all three of [[UnreliableExpositor warping their stories against Mike]], to the point where they saw Mike's staffing decisions on ''Jeopardy!'' as no big deal.

* When it comes to ''Battlestar Galactica'', some fans of the [[Series/BattlestarGalactica1978 1978 original series]] have no love for the [[Series/BattlestarGalactica2003 2003 remake]] due to [[TheyChangedItNowItSucks the many changes]] that were applied to the series (the DarkerAndEdgier tone with some HotterAndSexier thrown in, the [[RidiculouslyHumanRobot humanoid Cylons]], changing several of the characters, and the heavier emphasis on [[RippedFromTheHeadlines political]] and [[GoingCosmic religious/philosophical]] themes) and continue to wish that the Sci-Fi Channel made a continuation of the original series as championed by Richard Hatch instead. On the flip side, fans of the remake generally see the original series as a hokey ''Star Wars'' rip-off and believe the changes gave the remake a more unique identity. The teeth gnashing between the two camps began even ''before'' the new version aired, made worse by the fact that Sci-Fi did, at one point, publicly suggest that they would make a continuation before deciding on a remake.
** Although it's difficult to believe now, there was one between Series/BattlestarGalacticaBloodAndChrome fans and {{Series/Caprica}} fans. This was mostly due to the perception that ''Blood and Chrome'' was an attempt to make the spin-off that everyone wanted, instead of the one they got; even though Caprica did had a respectable fanbase. However ''Blood and Chrome'' was so badly screwed by SyFy that even Caprica fans who resented it had to admit that it got a bad shake.

** With both shows airing in first-run syndication, ''Wheel'' fans have also accused network O&O's and affiliates for prioritizing ''Jeopardy!'' on their schedules whenever there are pre-emptions for sporting events, news coverage, or special programming. many have admitted to this, mostly because ''Jeopardy!'' has champions, regardless of the circumstances on either show's episode for that day. Outlets usually fix a half-hour pre-emption by airing ''Wheel'' in the most dead of hours and if necessary moving ''Jeopardy!'' to its scheduled slot. It reared its ugly head when some ABC O&O's aired a women-owned small business special in place of ''Wheel'' while a ''Jeopardy!'' episode emceed by [[Series/TheDoctorOzShow Dr. Oz]] was unaffected. Fans of both shows did agree that Dr. Oz had no business hosting ''Jeopardy!'', and boycotts of the show had made the rounds in the media well before the pre-emption. Another notable instance was in February 2022 when ''Wheel'' had three $100,000 winners in a row, while ''Jeopardy!'' had no notable events or a long-running champion. This happened during the Winter Olympics, which air on NBC for a period of over two weeks. Most NBC affiliates still chose not to air ''Wheel'' during this time (despite headlines following the wins), but still aired ''Jeopardy!''. Fans have reported that some markets seem to treat ''infomercials'' better than ''Wheel''. ''Wheel'' fans are also quick to call out how ''Jeopardy!'' fans on Twitter will express rage in the rare case their show ''does'' get pre-empted, usually for immediate news coverage, saying things like, "Couldn't they have waited until ''Wheel of Fortune'' to cut in?" These complaints are far less common in the ''Wheel'' fandom since most fans are used to this by now.

* ''Series/HouseOfTheDragon'' and ''Series/TheLordOfTheRingsTheRingsOfPower'', with both shows [[DuelingWorks premiering only two weeks apart from each other]] and each episode being the AppointmentTelevision event of the following 7-10 weeks. Both works are PrequelInTheLostAge adaptations based on [[Franchise/ASongOfIceAndFire popular]] [[Franchise/TolkiensLegendarium fantasy]] franchises that already had an existing rivalry beforehand, albeit more friendly. Both works are mostly praised by critics, but the Amazon ''Lord of the Rings'' show has a way more mixed reception from audiences than ''House of the Dragon''.

* ''The 700 Club'' has a rivalry with ''every'' other series on Creator/{{Freeform}} as a result of ''The 700 Club'''s far-right values, especially compared to the progressive demographic Freeform's other shows aim for. The rivalry also extends to Robertson and Freeform themselves; Robertson refuses to terminate his contract with the network because he finds the other shows "satanic" and Freeform is desperate to get rid of him and his show, giving it InvisibleAdvertising, burning it off in midnight slots, and once declared that the network was going "off the air" during a 12-hour telethon of the show.

** ''Wheel'' fans in particular have been upset at the difference in treatment of both shows by both its showrunners and the media. This started when Harry Friedman was hired as executive producer of ''Wheel'' in 1995 and was later brought onto ''Jeopardy'' two years later. While Friedman was commended for his work on ''Jeopardy!'', he alienated many fans of ''Wheel'' by making numerous unpopular changes. One change that indirectly led to even more feuding was when he reduced appearances on ''Wheel'' to one and done while keeping the returning champion rule on ''Jeopardy!'' and later removing the five-game limit completely. ''Jeopardy!'' has since seen increased ratings whenever a superchamp goes on a lengthy run while ''Wheel'' struggles to keep pace around the same time. It got to the point where fans thought Sony's budget gets affected by champions breaking the bank on ''Jeopardy!''. During James Holzhauer's reign on ''Jeopardy!'' in Spring 2019, ''Wheel'' had a BonusRound record of '''1-29''' in its last six weeks of the season. Whenever ''Wheel'' makes headlines, it's usually clickbait websites about something Pat Sajak said out of context, a contentious judgment call or a puzzle with questionable content, while ''Jeopardy!'' makes headlines for things as small as former contestants getting married. Fans noticed that ''Wheel'' finally started getting some respect after Mike Richards replaced Friedman in 2020, being nominated for an Emmy the following year for the first time in a decade (though still losing to ''Jeopardy!''). However, Richards' position was short-lived after the backlash over him allegedly perverting the replacement process to succeed Alex Trebek on ''Jeopardy!''. Unlike ''Jeopardy!'', who had a replacement EP in Michael Davies hired immediately, ''Wheel'' went without an official showrunner for six months (including during the infamous Audi incident mentioned below), which led to various teased changes planned by Richards, including the show's first tournament in over two decades, being dropped.

* ''[[Series/AdamTwelve Adam-12]]'' vs ''{{Series/Emergency}}'' to a point. They both like to think their guys are the best looking, and ''Adam-12'' fans sometimes feel pushed aside somewhat between ''Emergency'' and ''{{Series/Dragnet}}'' both being so popular.

* ''Series/{{Jeopardy}}'' versus ''Series/WheelOfFortune''. Both shows were created by the same person, are made by the same production team, and air one before the other in most markets (the order depends on the station), but that doesn't mean everybody loves to watch both shows. Even though they're arguably one of TV's most popular program pairs, the games themselves play out quite differently. ''Jeopardy!'' is more about general knowledge/trivia while ''Wheel'' is more of a luck-based word/puzzle game. The differences between the two shows link to many different views on one show in comparison to the other.

* ''Series/{{Jeopardy}}'' versus ''Series/ThePriceIsRight''. Fans of both shows were neutral among one another until the start of TheNewTwenties. This can be traced to 2019 when Sony announced that Mike Richards would be replacing the retiring Harry Friedman as executive producer of ''Jeopardy!'' and ''Wheel of Fortune''. While Mike's role on ''Price'' was [[BrokenBase divided]], his handling of ''Jeopardy!'' caused rifts between fans of both shows.

* ''Series/BabylonFive'' vs. ''Series/StarTrekDeepSpaceNine'', on account of ''B5'' fans accusing ''Deep Space Nine'' writers of ripping off their show. (For their part, the writers have accepted that they were probably at least "drinking from the same well", as it were.) This one isn't so terrible, as the styles are similar, and less-rabid fans of each are willing to concede that the other is a good show.[[note]]B5 fan: "Because it stole everything from ''our'' show!" [=DS9=] fan: "It did not!" B5 fan: "Did too!" [=DS9=] fan: "Did not!"... and you can see where we're going with this.[[/note]]

** The series introduced in TheNewTens and on (particularly the prestige television-style ''Discovery'' and ''Picard'') versus all previous entries. These get really nasty, especially when it comes to the point of which era better adheres to the vision of an enlightened future.

* ''Series/TheMandalorian'' vs. ''The Last of Us'', two sci-fi shows in which Creator/PedroPascal plays an AntiHero entrusted to protect an orphan. Pascal's contract to play Joel in ''[=TLoU=]'' requires him to prioritize it over all of his other projects, raising ''Mandalorian'' fans' concern that he wouldn't become involved for much of Season 3 production. On the other side, Pascal fans more excited about ''[=TLoU=]'' than ''Mando'' S3 believe that its adult tone and Joel's lack of a mask will allow the series to make better use of Pascal's talents than ''The Mandalorian'' usually does.

However, Richards' position was short-lived, and his successor Michael Davies has failed to impress ''Wheel'' fans so far. Many official game show fan sites or blogs, such as [=BuzzerBlog=], also show disdain for ''Wheel'' while praising ''Jeopardy!''.

** ''Wheel'' fans have also accused network O&Os for prioritizing ''Jeopardy!'' on their schedules whenever there are pre-emptions for sporting events, news coverage or special programming. The outlet generally fixes a half-hour pre-emption by airing ''Wheel'' to the most dead of hours and if necessary moving ''Jeopardy!'' to its scheduled slot. It reared its ugly head when some outlets aired a COVID-19 small business special in place of ''Wheel'' while a ''Jeopardy!'' episode emceed by [[Series/TheDoctorOzShow Dr. Oz]] was unaffected. Fans of both shows did agree that Dr. Oz had no business hosting ''Jeopardy!''. Even ''infomercials'' seem to get better treatment in some markets than ''Wheel''.
