[quote name=\'mystery7\' date=\'Nov 14 2004, 12:52 AM\']Is Crazy Gideon some kind of relative to the Crazy Eddie we had back east so many years ago?

As of 2 or 3 years ago, he had reopened a store near Wayne, NJ. And this was the same Crazy Eddie. He was at www.crazyeddieonline.com

Enjoy lots and lots of backstage TPIR photos and other fun stuff here. And yes, I did park in Syd Vinnedge's parking spot at CBS

a Match Game revival with Judy Tenuta, Emo Phillips, Carrot Top and Pee Wee Herman as regular panelists. That would just be highly disturbing!
It would be highly disturbed. Add Matthew Lesko and L.A.'s Clazy Gideon* to round it out.

Now if Fremantle took the old Match Game format, with the aforementioned, ahem, 'celebrities' to Fox and allowed them to rename it "My Big Fat Obnoxious Game Show", where contestants would never receive the prizes they won, then maybe Fox would put in a full season order for the show.

Too true...they'd probably stick their "darling" Paris Hilton in there too.  And people wonder why when they seemingly do something intelligent like bring back Family Guy, I will only say, "I'll believe it when I see them do it right."  (unpleasant images of hearing a loud clank, meaning Seth hit his head against the glass ceiling again)

Edit: And on this version, well remember the syndie MG when Gene would say such things to the losing contestant as, "We'll send you a free nose job, etc?"  Well the Fox version would literally do that.  

Double Edit: Someone at Fremantle's probably taking notes, which is what really scares me.

That actually sounds like quite the neat idea..........Or as per the clip that aired on "Those Wonderful TV Game Shows", they could have prizes that are items that the contestant already owns...:)

Y'know; I don't agree. I go to school in the morning, and I'll likely be working then too over the vacation. I would rather see more syndicated shows in the early evening or afternoons than a full morning block.


Hey...we all had the same problem...but at least you've got a VCR, which is something nobody had in the '70s.  That's one reason I was so happy to see GSN in '94 - to "catch up" on all the shows I missed the first time around!

At the risk of getting whooshed, you do realize Paul Reubens retired his Pee-Wee Herman character, right?  If Paul resurrected his Troy whathisname* alter ego from You Don't Know Jack, however...

* I forget what the last name was.  At first I thought it was Troy Edwards, but I think that's a football player.

ObPeeWee: The entire series of Pee-Wee's Playhouse is coming to DVD tomorrow.

ObGS(N): I wouldn't mind if GSN put World Series of Blackjack on DVD.

Didn't they try that with Pitfall? ;-)

There's your problem with What the Blank?: WRONG TITLE!

"My Big Fat Obnoxious Game Show"

Panel:
Seat #1: Carrot Top
Seat #2: Judy Tenuta (the closest you're going to get to Brett Sommers)
Seat #3: Simon Cowell (the CNR factor)
Seat #4: Paris Hilton
Seat #5: Paul Rubens
Seat #6: Jillian Barberie

Emcee:
Ry-Ry Seacrest

Announcer:
Why Randy West, of course!

It can't miss!

If Judy Tenuta is the closest you'll get to Brett Somers, then you're not trying hard enough!!

As for the announcer, let's not subject poor Randy, whom IMO is not obnoxious... if we want an obnoxious announcer, how about Dee Baker?

You know, treading slightly off topic here for a second, I never could get why anyone in the world would use the words "big", "fat" and "obnoxious" in a title of any show, in any genre. It just goes to show of the state of society in which we live in....

Which would even be scarier if said proposal of "My Big Fat Obnoxious Game Show" got on the air...

And Matt, I do agree with you, Randy West should not announce this, Randy deserves a DECENT game show, no, a GREAT game show to lend his dulcet tones to :-)

Other than that, I'm staying far, far away from anything that is remotely related to Judy Tenuta for at least the next billion years, and I don't care to say "She is <expletive deleted> annoying!!!!"

Venturing further into "whoosh" territory, Reubens is actually working on a new Pee Wee movie:

Ain't It Cool News
In an interview airing at seemingly random times on TVGuide Channel, Paul Reubens is asked about doing a Pee-Wee skit at the recent Groundlings celebration.  He says that Pee-Wee won't be seen again until the new Pee-Wee movie is released,  which he has been in talks for and is getting close.

Well, Fox was going to originally call it "My Big Ass Obnoxious Game Show", but then the network realized that Bobcat Goldthwait and Stone-Stanley would have to be involved that would be overkill!!!
