What makes Cram jam?

(1/3) > >>

GS Warehouse:
At ezBoard I've noticed a lot of users have admitted that Cram has grown on them.  Like many of you, I didn't think of it much of the premise myself, but I've seen a couple of second-season eps.  I've got to ask: What is it that makes Cram such a guilty pleasure?
- The play-along factor
- Watching sleep-deprived people do silly things
- Graham Elwood's schtick
- The theme music (hey, that's what attracted me to CS78)
- Icey (enough said)

And why do I get the feeling choice E will get the lion's share of the votes? :-)

Brig Bother:
I got an episode of Cram in a tape trade recently and I think you lot have underrated it. Not only does it have some original ideas (mainly the do two things at once one) seems like a decent quiz but it also seems incredibly good fun (to watch and to play, although I wouldn't want to be awake that long, obv.).

It's all good, people!

Clay Zambo:
My view of the show has changed somewhat this season, too.  I don't watch it every day, but I find myself enjoying it.  Somehow it seems more benign this season--I'm sure the players are every bit as exhausted as first group were, but it seems more like good, clean, silly fun.

It is clean fun, isn't it?  The cramatoria do have showers?

 It's actually a fun little show, and actually seems like a decent psychological experiment...testing how well people function without sleep. I wonder how the show does with college students, who should be used to pulling an all-nighter, only to flunk the test the next day. :-)

Extra points for a pretty good bonus round. I like the whole set-up and execution, as far as the sleeping, and Graham's build-up.  Question though: how long do they *really* get to \"sleep?\"

WhammyPower:
Er, some people might like it for just one word: \"ICEE\".  :-P
