On purpose? Man, if THAT doesn't send up a HUGE red flag, I dunno what does.

Well, you've lost me then.

Remember a simpler time when Chuck Barris was the worst thing to happen to television?  Don't you think that in his wildest dreams, Chuckie Baby himself could never have envisioned a time when a disclaimer like that one was necessary for casting a game show?

Don't you think if Chuckie was born 30 years later, he'd be issuing disclaimers EXACTLY like that one? Not that I don't value his contributions, but it didn't appear that he had a lot of self-restraint.

There are two kinds of funny: audience-funny and Mackenzie-funny. Randy West, would you concur?
