Since when does a television program charge for an audience? There are some FCC guidelines that prohibit that.
They aren't charging, they're paying for Butts In Seats.

Hates being reminded of "butts in seats"

I lol'd. Well done. Excellent choice of image, even.

$8 an hour for up to five episodes if you're in the area.

Signed up for one of the 5-episode taping days, and hope to walk out with $24 or less.

Well, look at it this way: if you get $24 or less, they're clearly doing something right and that'll pay off greatly later this year. Otherwise, you're getting paid progressively more money to watch a trainwreck.

If they tape both front games of an episode first, prep the Winner's Circle celeb with the categories, retape reactions/explanations/whatever for no discernible reason, or have the anal judging of Donnymid...I'd say get out of dodge. (Or at the very least, voice your concerns.)

And nothing new. I don't think it'll affect the quality of the show one iota.

I think you got whooshed, BFG. Looks like Toddy was speaking facetiously on my end.

How could you tell? This is the guy who said "If you bomb, it airs" no matter what the consequence, and he was ready to unleash an FCC investigation until he was set right.

///That's probably not the record.

Point taken, mine still stands.

I was mainly going by his comment from yesterday, but it's hard to tell from just one sentence today...

What if they play the game standing up?

I have none. They made at least 2 pilots that looked pretty damn faithful to what Dick Clark hosted 25-40* years ago, and it really sounds like they know what they're doing. I have no reason to believe this version will be too different from the '09 pilot recently linked to. Why are you so scared of New Pyramid? Seriously, you keep going on and on looking for reasons to dislike it. Relax, I don't think we'll get an Endemaul product. It won't be a carbon copy from 1982, but you can step off the ledge.

I usually don't do this, but if you're wondering why people take aim at you Dan, here's a reason: your reply is exactly what Jim was saying. He just didn't spell it out.
