My thought : Well done show...but why is this on Discovery Channel? This is the simple, inexpensively done show that GSN should be doing in daytime, if they really want to "expand" their original programming with game shows that don't look like game shows.

I enjoyed the one ep I Tivoed, but it just isn't something I would seek out regularly. It's Millionaire and Oblivious, on wheels, and not very oblivious.

But the roof lighting is pretty cool.

I like this show. Simple, but fun.

Sometimes simplicity is better than glitz and glamour.

Continuing the line of "it-ain't-bad" posts, definitely a non-repulsive way to spend a half hour or two. And since there's nothing good here opposite it, it looks like they've picked up a semi-regular viewer here.

And the street shout outs are working on expanding what little faith I have left in humanity after watching too much Street Smarts. :-p

It's a simple, harmless little show. Sure, the format [and "lifelines"] are right out of Millionaire, but it's so darn addictive. And I'll bet any money that THAT'S how the Discovery Channel wants it.

Needless to say, it's my latest TV addiction. Whether it'll overtake "MythBusters" in that capacity, I don't know.

There are three things I've learned never to discuss with people: Religion, politics, and the proper wrapping of microphone cables.
