No, no, no... I'm a nice guy once you get to know me. I just want to have fun here and get involved in some good old fashioned discussion about game shows is all.

(And by the way, I know Donny Osmond is no Dick Clark, of course I do!)

Then, while you are certainly allowed to have an opinion, you might do well to listen a while and figure out which ones will get you ridiculed and which ones will not.

Come now, Chris. Thinking someone is a good game show host is hardly something to ridicule another for. Besides, being entitled to an opinion implies that they WON'T be ridiculed for it, does it not?

If Patrick Wayne gives them a boner, that's their business.

This isn't opinion. It's a fact that can be proved incorrect. Flame away.

For SOME people, it is. Flame at your discretion.

Quote

Sheer naive theory, not opinion. Flame away.

My point stands.

It depended on what was being judged. Not taking "Things in the White House" for "Rooms in the White House" was way too strict.

Okay, I suppose that's true. But allowing Hal Sparks to write a goddamn book full of prepositional phrases was NOT strict.

So the game was strict where it shouldn't have been, and lenient where it shouldn't have been.

I think we can all agree "the judging blew" and leave it at that. :)

[quote name=\'SRIV94\' date=\'Aug 10 2005, 09:19 AM\'][quote name=\'mbclev\' date=\'Aug 9 2005, 12:46 AM\']I remember when Tom Kennedy was hosting, the password was "day" (I think) and someone said "(k)night" as a clue, and the judges automatically assumed that the clue giver said "knight".  In cases like this, the clue giver was given the benefit of the doubt.

Not that I'm trying to stir up trouble many years after the fact, but how exactly did the judges "automatically assume" that?  That seems very fishy, because unless you go out of your way to pronounce the "k" in "knight" (making it an illegal clue anyway, as the resulting sound is not a word), there's no way for the judges to assume that what the clue giver said was indeed "knight."

I remember Tom Kennedy actually saying essentially that the judges automatically assumed that the clue giver was saying "knight" instead of "night", as opposed to Bert Convy not saying that Constance McCashin said "allot" instead of "a lot" in 1986.

My point still stands.  It was an absolutely awful judging decision if it happened exactly as you said.  And it's still a fishy scenario--I still find no possible way you can "automatically assume" that.  Most likely it's what Chris said--Sherman was asleep at the switch.

"Rooms" is a lot more specific than "things," so I wouldn't disagree with the judging. It's simply a lousy category.

So to amend the earlier point, "the judging AND the writing blew."

IMO, the judge should realize at that point that it's a lousy category, and give the contestant credit.
