I promise this will make sense eventually: did anybody around my age play a game called The Market Place on the Apple II at school? It was a rudimentary economics/business simulator and the colors were black and shades of green. Looking back at the thread, I see three-ish people who could use some quality time playing it.

I assure you, the game had colors, your monitor just didn't.

At first, I was going to say if DWTS had a game show host emceeing the show, I may watch it. But then I recalled that a (former) host, Tom Bergeron, does that gig. Maybe if DWTS got some eggcrate numbers, and ACTUALLY had some "bells and whistles," then I may consider watching at least a few minutes of it.

(Un)Fortunately, when I noticed some of the players for the upcoming season, I may consider watching some of that season.

Huh? No matter how many trappings you want, it is a dance contest. Watch because you want to see if Urkel is klutzy in real life. Or don't, because you don't enjoy dancing. But don't make it what it isn't.

I have a feeling Mr. whammy_2000 was being quite sarcastic with what he said.

What's next for GSN? Dog shows?

I wouldn't rule that out. They did give us a cat show in 2007.

Hell, I'm surprised they didn't make a push for Westminster.

They actually had some sort of Dog show last year. I think it was Dog Star Superstars, or something like that.

Has GSN ever had a live show, other than home audience participation ones?  (One of the things that makes the Westminster show a big deal is, it airs live in most of the country.)

I understand you said "other than home audience participation", but I still think it's important to point out, especially to latecomers, that great big swaths of GSN were live in the early years.  Not just the dinky audience-participation shows like Decades either, but the interstitial talk shows and even their abortive efforts at full-length shows like Throut & Neck and, god help us, Trivia Track.

Was the California gubernatorial special done live?

IIRC, the show was filmed, but they had a one-hour "postwrap" show that was in fact live.

The finale of American Dream Derby was live, and GSN was lucky enough to pick a night where it was pouring rain.  Not sure why I remember that dreck, but I do.

That was a great comedy of errors.
