Title: Are You Normal?

It looks like Oprah is trying her hand at the game show world with this, I saw some promos for it the other night. Has anyone seen it? Is it worth checking out?

You watched OWN for 48 hours? You deserve a medal...and probably your balls back! ;-)

Going through my DVR just now, this show isn't on the schedule for the next two weeks.

If I'm not mistaken, the show was pulled from its Monday timeslot after just 2-3 episodes due to bad ratings.  It was the moved to Saturdays, where it got even worse ratings and was pulled after 1-2 episodes.

I saw 10 minutes of the premiere.....it looked and felt like a discarded FOX prime time game show pilot, complete with Mark Thompson as VO announcer.  Add to that....

-- Questions that would make most adults blush
-- The "survey of 10" gimmick that slowed Eubanks Card Sharks
-- A two-host format that doesn't work

Definitely deserved to be pulled.  Horrid.
