It's amazing that Mike Rowe survived that abomination. It's my nominee for Worst Game Show Ever.

That's your nominee? My vote would've gone to The Chamber. To each their own, I guess.

Does that title remind anyone else of Buster and Babs Bunny?

Seriously, what was the premise of this show? Google's surprisingly silent.

From what I can remember, a "family" of five appeared on set, while one was the imposter. A panel of celebrities (3?) asked questions, TTTT-style, to determine to odd (wo)man out.

Forgot all about The Chamber.

B&E: All About The Opposite Sex; Surprised some of you have forgetten.....
Barris: Three's A Crowd, ORIGINAL version; Now if that version had more variety like the later GSN version did (i.e: husbands vs. fathers-in-law, boyfriends vs. brothers), it would've lasted a couple more years. Instead, it turned into a "one-joke" show; but in this case, the joke bombed -- big-time.
Stone-Stanley: All except Shop Til You Drop; (the Pat Finn years, that is)

Cordially,

While Chamber was bad, it was never boring.

I dunno. Chamber might have been a trainwreck, but at least it was visually interesting, and laughing at the poor schmucks who actually signed up for this gives it at least some redeeming value.

Bottom 10%? Sure. Worst ever? Nah. I think a show has to completely put you to sleep to win that title.

Oh yeah, that one was just as bad.

Something else I just remembered What's Going On?: remember the story related in "The Box" when Lee Bowman misinterpreted the stretch cue as a wrap cue.

The revival wasn't all that great, but at least it seemed to have a more light-hearted approach to the whole exercise.

Wrong, you fail. Doubly so, because you sweep all the others under the rug, and save what was really a lame uninteresting time-filelr.

So here's a noggin tickler: M. G. 's Crosswords or Monopoly?
