....what was their take on them? This can be any show but particularly ones that they might not have heard of before you showed it to them.

Spinning this off from the 5 episode list thread.

I have a good friend, who secretly enjoys game shows.  I had great success with USA’s block of originals from the 80s—Jackpot, Bumper Stumpers, and Chain Reaction.  Discussing this with other forum members; the conclusion was there’s plenty of engagement and play-along.

OTOH, she made it through about 90 seconds of Whew! before requesting another show.

What didn't she like about it? Unlike Child's Play, which I had mentioned moves slow, Whew! is pretty fast moving.

This was a couple of years ago, but IIRC it was a bit too quirky and esoteric.  I don’t think the animated opening helped much.

It's certainly a deep cut and also not for everyone.
