Or people being coated in grass shavings because their little light wound up on the wrong spot.

Get the hell OFF the high horse, people, these are game shows.

I'll concede and say you have a point.  Still sounds like somthing that I'd never watch though.

 Thanks so. I'll treasure that concession always.

To paraphrase the great philosopher George Carlin, this is why the television has two knobs on it....

Besides, it could be worse. We could have two equally dumb rich girls prove exactly how stupid they really are by being country for a week or so.

The Inquisitive One

(Sorry, I had to throw that out somehow. This was the perfect segue.)

Thirty days, to be exact.

As for "Greek Games" itself, I have the feeling that Sony and/or Liberty (more likely Sony) are coming down real hard on Rich and Bob to get some demo action going and are demanding a lot of things if they want to get the bread to do the more traditional things.  After all, nine years and only one quarter in the black is a lonnnnnnnnnng time.  It also looks like Rich and Bob are believing that short-term events might be a more feasible way of doing originals than a lot of series, if the corporate cash flow is getting reduced.

So they do this silly little one-off stunt with (seemingly) other peoples' money instead of using Sony and Liberty's money for a series that implodes 33 episodes into production.  Not wild about it--and it's amazing that a company that earns much of its profit from two traditional game shows is so clueless about the genre--but it's Rich and Bob's job to take the lemons and make lemonade out of them, if they can.

ObGameShow:  Thank Jah that the Hilton "sisters" missed the "H2" Dynamic Duos Week taping--Martin and Peggy are such a lovely couple.  :)
