Yes, but it's good at exploiting loopholes in a term paper guideline rulesheet.

(Yes, I used two articles from Wikipedia on a research paper I did looking into careers in video game development. I got an A- on the paper...go figure.)

I use and edit Wikipedia a lot, but I'd never consider using it as a reference source. It's good if you know what its strengths and weaknesses are and proceed accordingly.

I'm not sure about anybody else, but if I see an error that i know to be as such, it change it or remove it, providing my rationale in the edit summary. I've never been reverted upon. I'm not sure why I see so many people who say they've edited blatant wrongness only to have it return; that hasn't been my experience at all. I dunno.

Exactly. And you don't want to use an ENTIRE article either (just bits and pieces of what you need).

Last night on Leno, Drew said that games with Barker's name on them are still being used.  He specifically mentioned Barker's Bargain Bar. He also told a pretty funny story about a woman peeing her pants after finging out she was gonna play Plinko.

50 large if that winds up being the oft-used clip on ALL of Drew's clip shows, and is introduced as such.

I was personally hoping that this little line (or any variant close to it) would be put to rest upon Bob's retirement.

(Does anyone know if Drew has kept the Range Game "joke")?

Have we seen any Drew-on-set-footage promos for the new season, w/ or w/o with Oct 15 start date?

I'm surprised there hasn't been a heavier "Drew is host" promo presence in and around both TPiR and Po10.

Or am I just missing it?

Maybe CBS just doesn't want to overprooooo . . . overprom-m-m-m . . . ah, I can't finish that sentence without losing it.

CBS is better off promoting Card Sharks meets Grand Game Power of 10 right now.

My original guess was that once the first couple of shows were in the can, we would get just a small three to five second blurb during the credit roll of P10.  I was wrong.

IMO, I guess now CBS is going to wait until there is a lot more material to pull from, and also wait unitl its Thursday night cash cow "Survivor" gets into full swing to start plugging TPiR.  No better way to get the word out than to promote the show in the two to three weeks leading up to the season premiere by cramming promos down our throats (for this, happily) during one of the networks higher-rated offerings.
