(named how much is enough)[/quote]I'm sure that's true. Push the Button is closer to Beat the Clock for us, and the reason it has two hosts is that Ant&Dec are a double act, to the point that each has a £1m life insurance policy on the other. They're the reason that American Idol was hosted by Ryan Seacrest and That Guy.

PTB is a simple format that doesn't require lots of rules, but the games are clever, the payoffs are decent and the watching is fun.

Actually, The Futon Critic is under the impression that Glee is moving into that time slot (for whatever reason, Fox is moving Hell's Kitchen (and Masterchef, when it starts) to Tuesday, the So You Think You Can Dance? performance shows to Wednesday, and Glee and the SYTYCD results shows to Thursday).

You probably mean Friday, August 6 (and they can air repeats on Sundays from 7 to 8 during football season on days when Fox doesn't have a doubleheader).

I'd wager for those not familiar with BtC, this would sound more like Minute to Win It, and that doesn't sound very appealing, no matter how much of The Chemical Brothers you use.

And yet I know people who are NOT traditional game show fans who are having parties around Minute To Win It where they watch the show and then try to do the stunts themselves. I did not realize just how brilliant the "household items" angle was until I learned that.
