...
The industry should consider this sort of revival and forget Maxene Fabe's narrowminded advisory that a game (or other type of show) is only worth reviving if it worked the first time. [/quote]
 OK, interesting theory ... now, can somebody give me an example other than Second Chance/Press Your Luck? Anyone? Anyone? Bueller?

 Only saw one episode, which was part of yesterday's.  And was scared to see her still with the ACCORDION OF DOOM.  Did she utilize this weapon of mass destruction any other time this week?  

And guess which blond comedienne from Canada whom Tenuta was invited before she was re-invited that I am thinking of and thusly am steamed over?

She did use it before, and after this week, I'm suprised I'm still alive! That lady is like the black widow of game shows or somethin'.

Do people still diagram sentences anymore?  Because this one would be more like a flow chart.
