2* BuryYourArt: Induction #139, on Golden-Road.Net, was removed in September 2017. It is preserved [[https://web.archive.org/web/20130130145233/http://gameshowgarbage.com/ind139_thegoldenfanbois.html here]], albeit edited to remove the personal attacks on Golden-Road members.
3* CowboyBebopAtHisComputer:
4** In the induction for ''Series/FamilyFeud'''s 400-point format, Cyndi refers to ''Series/ThePriceIsRight'' (on CBS) and ''Series/WheelOfFortune'' (in syndication and on NBC) as being on NBC and ABC, respectively. In a more nitpicky example, the main game was played for dollars rather than points at the time.
5** While discussing Nickelodeon's programming shift in her induction of ''You're On!'', Cyndi misidentifies ''WesternAnimation/{{CatDog}}'' as a Creator/KlaskyCsupo cartoon.
6* CreatorBacklash:
7** Cyndi's reason for removing #139.
8--->"The Golden Fanbois induction is deleted and won't be returning to the site anytime soon. It was a terrible induction in poor taste and I fully regret it. I need to build bridges rather than burn them."
9** Cyndi has been nicer to ''Series/{{Jeopardy}}'' ever since Creator/AlexTrebek's death in 2020 and has shown remorse for bashing the show.
10* CreatorBreakdown: When Seidelman originally retired from doing inductions.
11-->”After lots of thought, I feel that Game Show Garbage has contributed to a lot of the cynicism and negativity. While I've done more positive reviews with The Games Of '90 and in the commentaries and Game Show Gumbo, I can't help but think the inductions stick out like a sore thumb.”
12* WhatCouldHaveBeen: Cyndi had planned a number of additional inductions that she never finished.
13** Dale Winton’s "Will You Dance With Me" Video (rather bad music video about Winton dancing in front of a green screen with dancers; Seidelman had planned it for [=UK=] Month, but felt she could never “do it justice” there, and by the time she decided to use it for a Video Induction a few years later [[ScrewedByTheLawyers Article 13 was ratified]], forcing Seidelman to scrap the induction)
14** The ''Series/HellsKitchen'' All-Embarassment Team (the worst chefs in general; Seidelman scrapped it when her videos on the worst chefs of Seasons 2 and 3 were blocked in the [=US=])
15** Pulling A Bradford (planned for April Fool's Day 2012; was to deal with a move where a contestant gives up immunity and gets eliminated the same day, which originated on ''Series/TheApprentice'' after a contestant named Bradford did this move, with host UsefulNotes/DonaldTrump calling him out for this; scrapped due to Seidelman focusing on college and other projects)
16** ''Series/ThatsMyDog'' ([[Creator/{{Freeform}} Family Channel]] game show that had a bad host and a format that never seemed to be consistent; was replaced with ''Philly Pheud'' following Jim Williams’ death)
17** ''Baby Races'' (another bad Family Channel game show that, according to Seidelman, felt like exploitation; scrapped because she couldn’t come up with ideas)
18** Scott Sternberg - A Legacy of Failure (planned video for April Fool's 2019 based on [=UrinatingTree=]’s videos; Seidelman decided to replace it with ''Game Show Gumbo'' instead, so she delayed it to 2020, and it was scrapped when she retired from inductions)
19** Creator/JeremyClarkson: Game Show Host (planned [=UK=] Month video detailing Clarkson’s one-series stint as host of ''Robot Wars''; as Seidelman admits, this induction would've predated Clarkson's well-received stint as host of the revived British version of ''Series/WhoWantsToBeAMillionaire''; replaced with "The Worst Final Chase...[=EVER=]"!)
