Naw, this is a third one...Terry's right in his assessment tho. It made the one from TBS (Midnight Money Madness or something like that) look like Jeopardy, in terms of easiness and execution.

Besides, a show with a chroma-key set immediately screams cheap IMO. It wouldn't be so bad for a local show, but for it to be a national show that airs for several hours, it just looks tacky.

Sounds like I'm lucky--those of me in Chicago don't get the WGN Superstation feed, so I'm spared.

I'm thankful we endure a double dose of "Who's the Daddy" (or Maury) in the Chicago-only feed than what the superstation is spitting out.

In Grand Rapids, My Network has been slapped on the low-power Lin Broadcasting station, WXSP, which is on a number of cable systems. Plenty of programs that have run their course on WOOD and WUHQ-TV (Cosby Show, Home Improvement), Springer and Maury in the morning, a few UPN shows (One on One), court shows from noon til 4, some Canadian imports (Cold Squad), and sports shows (Oak Ridge Outdoors) and teams (Pistons, Tigers - W-XtraSPorts)...along with it being a third outlet for WOOD-TV newscasts.  Not bad programming. Some new game shows somewhere on the network would make a nice addition, so here's hoping along with you My Net picks some up.

I read this as "Lin Bolen station". Then I blanched.

Can't blame ya, Chris. Everyone would have to have their hair permed and wear open collared shirts.
Shudder!

and Merry Christmas, by the way.

Best comments so far about these call-in-and-lose shows came courtesy of one of my co-workers this afternoon, as MyGames Fever played on one of the TVs on mute (mercifully):

"What is this that's on... and why is it on?"

And so I explained the premise to the best of my ability, and she summed it up better than I ever could:

"Oh, so it's like a carnival game, only more annoying."

Bingo.

Kimmel just made fun of it during his monologue, and mentions how "challenging" the games are. I want that minute and thirty seconds of my life back.

And by "challenging", I mean LEM BIGSON. Unscramble the name for an actor.
