Will WWTBAM be back on network TV anytime soon?
As much good as it would do for the game show genre as a whole, I can say honestly I wouldn't watch it. I can watch Meredith on occasion, but that's the best I'll do.
don't care for the current Hollywood Square endgame.
Well, the second endgame (prize w/question) saved time, and didn't pile on rewards. I liked the contestant could earn his keep in the maingame and happen to win maybe $7,500 more in the bonus or a car if he/she was lucky.
My only problem with the current endgame, is as you said, time. But that's a factor altered by \"Behind the Squares\" (which I also like, actually). It's just the new direction of the show. It's a lot better than that stodgy question-fest introduced before Whoopi left.
I like Lingo. I don't care for Funny Money. The new Pyramid is frustrating in that it's pretty good but just short of being great.
Lingo is good. And surprisingly, \"Funny Money\" has begun to grow on me just a bit. If you look at it as a fun, comedy game, then you overlook the poor format. You get a laugh or two with the comedians and the caption round is okay. More than anything, I've been watching for specific comics - those I've seen on Comedy Central or elsewhere (in the case of George Gray and Graham Elwood).
As for \"Pyramid,\" that's probably the best assessment of it I've heard in a while. It's good, but what could be fixed would make it great,
Richard Karn is a nice guy and everything, but he's a dull game show host.
Ditto.
Todd Newton is...not too engaging.
He's been getting better on this go 'round of \"Whammy.\" Not every cash hit is screamed among other improvements.
They also showed a clip of the HS pilot...Has anyone seen it?
Yes, it's on the trading circuit.
