Does it involve a duck, a witch and small pebbles?

ObThread:  I do think that MtWI (yes, I'm being lazy here) is fun from the playability factor - I think it's just that the execution of most of the show is what makes me not want to watch.

Don't disagree in the least. There's no way I would watch it in realtime. DVR'd, it's fine.

Which brings up an interesting point if CBS brings The Cube to fruition - will it stay true to its British counterpart?  If so, I'll most likely watch the whole thing (and if NPH throws in a Dr. Horrible reference here and there, bonus points).  If not, then it goes back to your comment above.

And I'll correct the above - not all of the execution is bad - the blueprints are watchable, but that's from a motion graphics standpoint.

1. Not enough content per hour

2. See point one.

I'm mildly encouraged. The versions from Portugal and Saudi Arabia are absolutely, completely, 100% faithful to the original in every way. (OK, the Saudi host is just a wee bit too excitable, but I'll chalk that up to cultural differences.) It's quite possible that the developers have strict licensing terms a la Millionaire (or even stricter) so that it's essentially the same program in every territory where it airs.

Ant and Dec did not play any of their games inside a cube.  There, I've said something on-topic here.
