NBC wants to play this summer, "The Catch" is..

Anyone want to hear my proposal for "The $121,000 Ultimate Cribbage Throwdown"?

Can't be any dumber than all the televised poker.

details are scarce as the format is still being developed

Gawd help us.

On Monday I'm going over to NBC to pitch my new game show. I'm going to tell them "details are scarce as the format is still being developed".

Think they'd be interested in Xtreme Mindreaders? "The only game show that looks inside your brain."

True, but none of the other 8,000,000 poker shows on television can hold a candle to HSP.  I mean, have you seen that Pokerstars Million-Dollar Dreck FOX airs when they don't have a doubleheader?

I saw the first episode of season 6 of HSP and having Gabe alone on commentary is too awkward.  Pretty neat that they are going with PLO for the next season.

I find that the PokerStars Big Game to be more compelling than the current season of WWTBAM.  Sadly neither of the local FOX affiliates carry it so I had to settle for pokerstars.tv.  Million Dollar Challenge is very cheesy but I only watch to get the freeroll tournament code.
