So far, the show isn't that bad. I just question the difficulty. And the main game gets pretty bland and old after around the fifteen minute mark. I'd do horrible at this...I wonder how those who are good at these things thought about this show?
The bonus game is okay, I like the idea and concept of it. Roger Lodge is a good host, is at ease and seems to be having a good time.
I think the show is okay, but I wouldn't be able to sit through an hour of it five days a week.

I hesitated to post my thoughts about the show 'cause I feared being seen as an illiterate doofus but I found the game to be just a bit too much on the tough side for me to enjoy it very much. Plus, unless you remain glued to the TV set, you definitely can't enjoy it 'cause you have no way to play along at all. And yes, the main game does get rather tedious very quickly. I'd rate the bonus round "okay" at best as well. And while I agree that Roger Lodge is a decent host, he must stop explaining how the clues relate to the answers after each correct answer given. I figure that if an explanation is needed, the writing simply isn't crisp enough. The clues and answers should almost always be obvious and self-explanatory once they are both revealed. Kinda like when a joke isn't funny if the teller has to explain to you why it is just so damned funny.
Sorry GSN but I turned it off halfway through Monday's second episode and have no plans to return to it. Guess I'm heading back to "HARDBALL" at 6PM central...
