[quote name=\'xavier45\' post=\'181343\' date=\'Mar 14 2008, 11:29 AM\']Friend or Foe makes a return to the schedule. It seems that Goldhill's plan is to run all of the originals from 2002. I guess it is alright as long as he does not rerun Wintuition.[/quote]Or else what?

[quote name=\'MikeK\' post=\'181345\' date=\'Mar 14 2008, 11:38 AM\']What's wrong with Wintuition? Cram is the show that should never see the light of day ever again.[/quote]I thought the show slogged and didn't get interesting until the Senior Year Showdown. (The $50k Final Exam was a neat bonus round, for sure.) Wintuition really didn't tread any new ground. Cram may have been off-the-wall, but at least they tried new things. I thought the mindfark second round was awesome, for what that's worth.

(By the by, I count four Final Exam winners, one being from April Fools. So four out of 32 episodes. Maybe the producers were glad that it wasn't five, or it would have cut into the profit margin.)

Fun fact, for those of you keeping score at home: This will be the first time in the network's history that they won't be airing The Newlywed Game.

Or else it will anger many (and I mean many) people who thought Marc Summers (nothing against him, BTW) was waaaaaaaaaaay out of his element on this show, and that Kennedy (during the April Fools' Edition) did a better job.

Here's a hint: they don't care if they anger 12 people.

You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.

/Amounting to or consisting of a large indefinite number
//17 is not a large number when referring to viewerships in the six figure range.

[Sarcasm] I will set fire to the network's headquarters so I don't have to see that dreck again. [Sarcasm off]

Seriously folks, it is not as bad as Mr. GameShowLover makes it out to be. If they run Wintuition, fine. If they don't, great. Not really a big deal.

You really shouldn't harp on gameshowlover87 so much. I worry that you've got an overdeveloped sense of vengeance. It's going to get you into trouble someday.

Who cares how many people won the bonus round on WinTuition? The format was still good, and I'm sure the average viewer (not counting the minority of us who are die-hards) would still enjoy it regardless. Nobody ever won the $2M top prize on Greed, yet I don't see anyone burying that show.

But not for that particular reason. There were moments on that show that make it enjoyable regardless. Sure, WinTuition didn't have anything big like Million Dollar moments, but still, the fact that only few people won the top prize wouldn't deter John Q Public from watching.

Okay, your point is completely lost on me. Are you saying that WinTuition is being unfairly criticized because nobody ever complained about Greed making the grand prize virtually unwinnable? That's the closest I can get to understanding your argument.

And if I'm correct about that: then you haven't been looking very closely.

Yes, that is the point. But then again, I admit, I don't lurk these boards as often as I used to, so I can't recall what has been criticized. And besides, the package of gazpecho that I bought that was manufactured by you did not contain the "Don't eat before bed or you'll halucinate" warning. :-)
