From ctv.ca:

"GAMESHOW MARATHON features six celebrity contestants competing in a weekly elimination-style tournament in which they play different classic game shows each episode including "The Price Is Right," "Let's Make a Deal," "Beat the Clock," "Press Your Luck," "Card Sharks," "Match Game" and "Family Feud." Celebrities participating include Tim Meadows ("Saturday Night Live"), Leslie Nielsen ("Airplane"), Kathy Najimy ("Sister Act"), Lance Bass ('N Sync), Paige Davis ("Trading Spaces") and Brande Roderick ("Baywatch").

A champion will be crowned at the end of the competition. In addition, the program will include a viewer participation element whereby they will have a chance to win the celebrity's grand prize each episode through a wireless (text message) trivia game that enters viewers into a sweepstakes."

There's also a neat banner of Rikki Lake and her mic in front of TPiR set.

What I find interesting is that CTV has a website up for the show (such as it is) before freakin' CBS does.

Me and my inflatable girlfriend will be firmly planted in front of the television on the 31st.

Honestly guys, I don't know what's sadder, your lack of social lives or your lack of grammar skills.

[looks up International Basketball League schedule, sees there are no games on May 31]

Count me in (no inflatable girlfriend, sorry).

There might be some sarcasm I'm missing in your post, but you do realize that I was being sarcastic myself, right? I am honestly looking forward to the marathon, and was simply making a joke with all the nitpicking.

I don't think that was the knock, I think the knock was that we were supposed to say "my inflatable girlfriend and I".

Clearly, though, we need to get Wuthrich an inflatable girlfriend to call his own.

Could you get me one with interchangeable parts? I'll pay you later.

I apologize for anyone who saw my post in the thread before I deleted it.

Which reminds me I should keep to just posting internet finds and letting my fingers walk somewhere else.

Oh, you need not apologize. I think I owe you an apology. I don't know if you were joking or not, and I may have been insensitive.

It's all good...you were just having fun with the running joke.

Since I'm the perv who took this thread off course, I'll just turn things back around. :-P

Seriously, this is looking like fun. Did I read somewhere else, that this marathon could serve as a "pilot" of sorts, in the sense that whichever game does the best could get a shot at a regular series?
