The best and fastest way to fine-tune that would be to go through the Suggestions lists once every few weeks and thumb-up and thumb-down the shows appropriately. (I tend never to give anything more than a single thumb down, unless I want to make a point about that entire genre of programming, like Paid Programming and religious fodder. Then it gets three. Same thing for thumb-ups, unless it's West Wing, The Practice, or TPiR.) That way it gets the picture of what you don't like, given what it thinks you DO like, and it will quickly figure out that you like game shows, but not Newleywed Game, and stuff like that.

Just as long as ESPN doesn't send a crew to cover the 3rd annual Rock, Paper Scissors championship, there's hope for all civilization.
Don't laugh, it really exists. I read a story about the results from the 2nd annual competition on the air during my radio show. The overall winner's paper covered his opponents rock and won $3750.

They made a big deal about the "Rock, Paper Scissors" championship on ESPNews. Bleah.
And Chris, much of the daytime coverage next week is taken up with the Tennis Masters from Houston. Heaven forbid ESPN miss a chance to show A-Dick.

Anyone semi-interested in Scrabble might want to pick up the book =Word Freak=. Apparently, a Wall Street Journal reporter decided to take a year off of work and try to become a professional Scrabble player. The book is his story.
Reading it got me hooked on Scrabble Blitz (an excellent online game), and almost got me searching for a local Scrabble club. I don't really like the memorization of stupid words though, so Go and Bridge are currently higher on my social games list.
ObGameShows: Anyone remember what the clues on CrossWits were like? I'm wondering if they all came back, which show I would like best: Scrabble, CrossWits, or Monopoly.

Filling TV time with games of Scrabble...and yet, somehow, they feel that a SECOND ESPN is necessary. Astonishing. [/quote]
Not to sound funny, but there was an article in our local paper this past week which did a story on "The Deuce" and their new morning show, "Cold Pizza".
The story also touched on ESPN2's other programming throughout the day, and what plans it has for the future...
A game show in development IS part of that future!!!
Any additional info on this?
