Is that a sorry as in "posted before"? If so, these are two different (and imho full-o-crap) lists (25 "Best"/25 "Worst").

I meant to link directly to post fifteen, where discussion of the second list commences.

Make of this what you will, but my work computer wouldn't let me open the link to that list, identifying it as "Pornography/Adult Content".
This has been another installment of Matt Ottinger's Masters of the Obvious.
Stay tuned for all the obsessive-compulsive fun of Words Have Meanings.

If you could take about half of the "Best" list... and half of the "Worst" list, and rearrange it... it might actually make a pretty good list.

But seriously... Card Sharks on the "Worst" list?!?!?! Though I would consider the Bullard version for a possible "Worst Revivals Ever" list.

[/quote]I've never been a huge fan of this show, mainly due to the fact they let the contestants prattle on in the front game.  Drop that and the game speeds up proportionally.
