I must be broken, but I really am enjoying MG/HS hour. It's definitely gotten better 10 weeks in.

The show does feel like it's found a gear this week. I'm not certain whether Gene is looser or grouchier or both, but his presence has more energy to it. Bringing a loud and hacky prop comic like Vic Dunlop front-and-center to illustrate the difference between pulling something out of one's pants and pulling something out of one's shorts was the kind of weird I am here for. Bauman is getting more comfortable in his role, though his attempts to go off-script still fall flat quite often for me. The HS questions seem to be getting a bit more suggestive and sillier, and are giving the panelists more to work with, even in the confines of the multiple-choice format with no advance prep.
Also, this should probably come as no surprise, but Arsenio Hall is really good at this. If this show had found a footing and they tried to build a fresh crop of regulars, he's a standout. Also, way to lead off the week with some low-key shots at Fred Travalena, and the knowing groans that followed from some others on the stage.

It's going to be interesting to see how Buzzr handles the 1/30-2/3/84 week when that comes up towards the end of this month. I would think editing out the rambling plugs for the home viewer match on top of nuking most fee plugs would leave them a little short versus normal running time.
That is, if they can even rerun it in the first place because of Fern Fitzgerald. On that tangent, is there anyone we know of who has vetoed Buzzr reruns of their appearances as a guest?

I don't think we even know for sure that Buzzr is following the same policy GSN did regarding celebrity clearances.

I guess we'll know if we ever see Bob and Ginny Newhart on Tattletales - that seemed to be the one couple GSN never showed.
