Guy I'd most like to be is Burt Sugarman. He had Carol Wayne, has Mary Hart, and he's got possession of the "Whew!" tapes.

Oh. Nevermind.

What kills me is the thought that they rack up and watch those old Whew! tapes during the afterglow....

Sorry if this was posted earlier. I didn't feel like digging through 18 pages of posts. For those who went to the pilot: how is the currently aired show compared to the pilot? I heard a few people say that the pilot was a lot better, but I don't trust the GSN boards opinion that much.

It wasn't much better.

As much as i didn't like Tim Vincent hosting the pilot, holy smokes is he better than Dylan Lane.

Rules were same, payouts were slightly different...teams started with a grand.

The teams were mixed gender...still friends of 3 who were either really goofy looking, or really hot. That hasn't changed.

The set was blander. 2 podiums of 3, one in the middle, all white set (no props) that were colored blue on one side and red on the other by lights.

No blindfold. Tim tied on a black hankerchief.

I was watching Chain Reaction.

During the show there was a phone in game. Fill in the one missing word in the chain

Rubber
________

Soup

The Choices:
A. Chicken
B. Instant
C. Duck

I think they want you to pick Chicken

All I have to say is has anyone at GSN heard of The Marx Bros?

Yeah...that's pretty poorly thought out, even for GSN. You could of course say rubber duck as well.

I've been watching the old CR on Page O Clips and just thought of an interesting topic for debate:

Who would handle Chain Reaction's revival better: Michael Davies or Sande Stewart?

/I claim neutrality for now.

I think Davies has already proven Stewart the winner of this battle.

Well, I do have to say Davies is a fair man

I just got a call, we're getting double the money for our show! We got 5 right, and since they changed the rules, they're going back to previous people who got 5 or 7 and paying out appropriately. This also means there will be no more whining from Moe Train

No kidding? How interesting. I dunno if I've ever seen a game show pay retroactively following a rule change.

chad1m · « **Reply #131 on:** August 31, 2006, 06:09:29 PM »

Yeah, that is actually pretty cool of them. It's rare to hear something like that.

Well, considering the number of people who actually got more than 5 or 7, I'm sure the actual cost is a pittance

But it is cool of them...when I got the message on my cell to call for some good news, I was hoping this was it!

Ha... No whining here. Gotta love getting TRIPLE!

I've said it before and i'll say it again:

Davies may not produce the best shows out there in game-show-land, but

he . gets . it .

Going back to do this is classy. Says he made a mistake, and wants to make it right for everyone..... I doubt he's doing this for press. He's just doing it.
