Lots. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_international_game_shows https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_international_game_sho... Sitcoms also get adapted pretty often. Talk and panel shows, sometimes. We do the same thing in the US, just a bit less because we've got a really, really big domestic entertainment industry, so something's got to seem just right (in terms of "will this make money?") to get picked up, shouldering its way past all the US-original shows trying to get made, but it does happen. The Office, Power Rangers (half import, half adaptation), Iron Chef, Ninja Warrior (also has a German version!) and a bunch of others.
