DEAL? or NO DEAL?

[burythehatchet]

Am I getting way too cynical or is this the stupidest frigging game show ever. Bring back the Gong Show!!

[Suich]

1. Stupidest. Show. Ever.

By comparison, the Gong Show is Emmy material!

:hi:

2. The oversaturated color in their video is sickening. Plus the greed thing.

3. Yea the gong show was better.

14. Best

stoner show ever.

4. It's horrible..

I can't believe it will last long...what is there to hold anyone's interest? No puzzles to guess,no questions to answer,not even funny. I guess some guys might enjoy looking at the female case holders,but I would think even they might get tired of it after a (short)while.

5. I would like to watch reruns of old black and white game shows...

What's My Line, I've Got A Secret, Beat The Clock, The Price Is Right, To Tell The Truth

7. I'll even take Bowling for Dollars!

What was the Groucho Marx game show with the secret word?

9. "You Bet Your Life", I believe... (n/t)

10. If you get Game Show Network...

They have an hour (REAL late though, 3-4am Eastern time) block of those old black and white game shows. I've seen all the ones you mentioned, with the exception of Price Is Right, aired during that hour.

11. I know, but it's nothing like what they used to have...

They used to run "Sunday Night In Black And White", which was an 8-hour block of those shows and more. In those days, they also ran long daily blocks of 70s and 80s game shows during the day too, including the daytime version of The Price Is Right. They lost the rights to air TPIR some years ago, though.

6. It's a ripoff of "Let's Make a Deal" and...

a really bad one at that-- no showcases.

Ten minutes of actual "game" and padded with bullshit, hot models, and "suspense" with that damn banker. I watched it once, and barely got through the whole thing.

Now, "Distraction" on the other hand...

8. Bring back The Bong Show!

End of Line.

12. My SO, who's taste is usually wonderful, LOVES it

Of course, he's usually smoking something illegal during that timespot, so that may explain it.

13. My condolences!

The dude with the little soul patch just freaks me out.

15. It's Howie Mandel, and you can't touch him, because he's afraid of germs.
