Well on GSN's site they have a preview of the first 11 minutes of the first episode of Without Predudice. And all I can say is this looks Great. Everything the panel said I agreed with them. This is a must see for me.

And this also could be nothing but good for the network. Since it is so controversial, the news will be all over this. Then people may hear about it and say "Hey this looks interesting" and then more people would tune in. We will see what happens on the 17th.

Maybe we should approach this without prejudice.  Let's wait until the show actually airs before calling it a hit.  The first half-hour of "The Honeymoon Game" looked good, too.

Let's Make a Deal was the first show to air on Buzzr. 6/1/15 8PM.

I'd agree with you, but the rounds are essentially the same, except with increasing amounts of information.

Wonder how opinions will differ between Camo and WP on that aspect...

So, wait, it's great because a panel shares the same personal views you do?

Wow.

Our Brit version was a fascinating show to be sure, but I don't think it's going to play well to the average game show fan, on this board at any rate.

I watched the preview of your version, the host is quite irritating, but I think the panellists and contestants are quite an interesting reflection on American society.

Several of our panellists were on the panel for several episodes. Is it going to be the same over there?

Actually on reflection, I say "interesting", I probably mean "a bit obvious and unsubtle really."

An hour and a half of people deciding who to give money to? Oy.

BBCA aired the UK version a few years ago (with an American voice replacing the UK voice-over announcer).  Interesting, but I didn't stick with the whole run--and that was with Liza Tarbuck, a lady I like a lot, hosting.

There, fixed that.

I refuse to watch this show.

I absolutely can't forsee watching 90 minutes of this. 11 minutes on a website, okay, but to stretch it out that long reeks of desperation to fill a slot of prime time, and reeks of lazy editing (hey , I don't want to cut this down to 60 minutes. Fine, then don't! We'll just air 90!)

Thank Gawd xavier45 doesn't program my tivo.

To the show's defense, there are some parts that could warrant a longer time slot (day-in-the-life footage, Player-panel Q&A, roundtable discussion).  I know that people would be up in arms if this were a 22-minute program with everything and the sink being cut out to make time.  However, 90 minutes is probably 30 too many, and I don't even want to begin to think how long it takes to tape an episode.

I'm also wondering how many people are being turned off to this now just because xavier45 likes it.

The premiere is the only 90 minute episode.  The rest are 60 minutes.

Not at all, and I'll even watch it at least once to judge for myself. However, "I liked the show because I agreed with all of the comments the contestants made" is an eye-rollingly bad defense of his opinion.

There may be other reasons he liked it. They might even be reasonable ones. He didn't cite them.

There’s this new online Zogby poll/survey on GSN.com to hype the new show, “Without Prejudice?” that basically measures the extent of your prejudices. It’s surprising what some of the panelists on the show say. They bash the others for being a certain race or things they’ve done. You should check it out; it’s pretty interesting. Check out the survey at gsn.com/withoutprejudice.
