I wasn't sure if these groupings would be by episode or by week (especially now), but you get the idea. Considering some of the shows on and off the list, it makes a little more sense.[/quote]
Sure. And on that subject, now that we've gotten more or less to the end (though still assuming what the last ten shows are), I can say that if GSN was an individual fan submitting a top-50 list the way sixty or so of you have already done, its list wouldn't seem all that bizarre. Many individuals have made individual choices, usually near the bottom of their lists, which are every bit as "out there" as Three's a Crowd, Dog Eat Dog and Freakin' Studs. (That IS what we're calling it now, right?) Still, most everybody included everything in our top twenty somewhere on their individual lists, and so will GSN. Our top shows and their top shows are going to be awfully similar. And scattered throughout both lists are several nice little moments of synchronicity where our choices and theirs line up almost exactly.
We just expected more from an outfit that calls itself "the network for games" than convenient choices, even at the bottom of their list, that let them squeeze in an episode of a show they happen to have, regardless of its quality.
