I don't know about you, but I don't knock shows, no matter how bad they may sound, until I give them a try and watch them. I'm a "traditionalist game show fan", but that doesn't mean I can't like stuff like Fake-A-Date. Does that comment mean I like the show? No. Like I said, don't knock anything until you give it a fair shot. [/quote]
While I usually give shows a modicum of a chance; this is the exception--Evan Marriott is less entertaining than reading a New YorK City phone book. [/quote]
And why is he always squinting?

This show doesn't seem like it will be GSN's best ever original, that's for sure. Speed Dating on PAX will be far more interesting than F-a-D(I've played an intelligent trashman at Speed Dating events and can sort-of relate to it)

Todd Newton got too loud for me. I know the producers told him to get loud, but he still rubbed my auditory nerves the wrong way. [/quote]
Hold on a second here - they *told* him to get loud?? Hmm....what would the show have been like if he hadn't been told that.... [/quote]
It still would have sucked. [/quote]
Exactly. It just sucked that much more with him being loud.

By the way, GSN just released the names of the players on the blackjack show. Well, some of the names are a bit...odd-sounding:

This is the show that the network seems to be, er, doubling down on. Ken Einiger was on the Travel Channel's blackjack show. "Jane Gamble"? Come on.
Though Chris Moneymaker did win last year's World Series of Poker.

Looking at the press release, I see that one of the producers is Paul Abeyta, who worked with Merv on his talk show and "Dance Fever" back in the day. One can only hope that this will be better than Abeyta's last venture for GSN--"Burt Luddin's Love Buffet."
