HOLY LORD!

I'm feeling a bit sick now...
Well, whatever class GSN had going into this is out the window now.

You people really need to get past this.

Good thing for me is that I'm not totally shocked (http://\"http://wienerboard.com/cagcotd.php\") by some of the candidates/contestants participating...

It would please me greatly if you two could find something new to obsess over. You've already spent more time complaining about this event than the time it will take up on the GSN schedule. Some of us get the joke.

We all should have seen this coming from the commercials alone.

I dunno, guys, if you're going to make fun of something at least make it funny. Text-retching is so 1994.
Me, I'll probably tune in out of curiosity. It's a sideshow, sure...but America was built on sideshows.
God bless America!

I agree with all the retching and disgust. That's the ugliest set I've ever seen (and no, I'm not talking about the candidate)

Looks like it's made of a LOT of plastic.

Oh. Never mind. :-D

That's where you're wrong, I **JUST** started mass complaining about this.
Granted, I thought the Idea sounded kind-of OK when I first heard about it (still wasn't going to watch it though). Don't think that now, and I feel like an idiot for thinking that this may be a turn in the right direction.
Personally, I'm starting to think \"Why bother?\" now. Might as well realise that...
Nothing will ever again come out of the vault (Guess I should delete my stupid TTD TJW petition, and don't flame me because of that, I allready know creating it was a very stupid move on my part.)...
The video game programming will NEVER leave...
And MORE low brow, really bad programs will make there home on GSN, that probably have nothing to do with game shows at all... (This current WWTBGOC show probably falls into this catagory, pending on if there's an actual game to it)
BTW: To be perfectly honest, I don't get the joke... OH! Is it that Game Show Network IS now a joke, and the picture proves it?
Now I'll shut up. (I appologise for the rant, But I just don't want to see GSN go to Hell in a handbasket, and I, honest to god, think the recent programming moves will take it there.)

All television is a joke.
The whole industry comprised of monkey executives throwing their own excrement against the wall and seeing what sticks, then producing more of the same.
(About half joking)

I have to admit, this is probably a new low for GSN. No, I take that back, the video game block is....or was it Extreme Gong?....Burt Luddin?.......DJ Games?.....no it's the video game block. (I know the other shows were pre-Cronin, but still)
At least this show has a game show tie in (see: video game block) and it will probably give GSN some recognition (probably too much and they'll say \"LET'S DO MORE OF THAT!\"). As for the set, the show's set, not Carey's :), is it possible that this may not be the finalized set that we'll see on TV? (EDIT: question answered) This show doesn't tape until, what, Sept. 24th?

Then now would be a fine time to stop.

It's a shame you were too busy puking and retching and being disgusted to READ THE CAPTIONS and notice that these shots were from a PRESS CONFERENCE, and not the actual set of the show.
Gawd.

You don't actually expect us to take seriously any whiny protestations about a network whose past programs of note include \"Throut and Neck\", \"When Did THAT Happen?\", and \"Burt Luddin's Love Buffet\" going downhill with a single publicity stunt special, do you?
Rest assured that the #2 guy at this network is not only a game show geek, but the king of all of us game show geeks. If you've never seen the story they did on him on \"Real People\" way back in the day, trust me - it would put every last one of us to shame. And trust me further when I say that if he could find a way to turn a profit with a network that aired your precious Barry & Enright shows in primetime with all the fee plugs and end credits intact, and a showcase of unsold pilots each week, he'd do it in a heartbeat.
Unfortunately, he has to deal with reality (in this case, $$), something I'm going to not-so-subtly suggest you acquaint yourself with.
Forgive me for my tone, but I really take exception to yours.

Oh, for pete's sake...
Chris, I agree with a lot of your conclusions and I don't want to get into a flame war. But can't I even make a cheap, sexist joke and not have somebody take me seriously?

I apologize, I missed the joke. I've seen so many other idiotic complaints over this show that I assumed this was another one. My bad.
