World Series Of Blackjack

I found WSOB to be interesting as well, and as Chris Lemon stated, the FoxBox-like graphic at the bottom is very nice...
I don't know enough about Poker to watch any of the Poker shows, but blackjack is easy to pick up and learn the object...I learned Blackjack from a TI 99/4A game called "Blackjack and Poker". :)

You give those people too much credit, Chris. Most are barely off of Similac.
--- Quote ---In fact, most of the things that annoyed me about the show could be traced back to Matt. The chief example is his making a big deal out of that guy on the end trying to "read the dealer" to see if she had a "made hand". Here's a hint: THERE'S NOTHING TO READ. SHE IS BEING PAID TO DEAL THE GAME, AND COULD CARE LESS IF YOU WIN OR LOSE.

I'm gonna disagree. The dealer might exhibit the smallest tell based on looking at the hole card.
I'll watch again since there is absolutely nothing else on TV at 10 PM on Monday nights worth watching. It doesn't hold a candle to the World Poker Tour but it was a worthwhile hour of TV.
Particleman:
I thought it would be more interesting to watch than what I actually experienced. I love playing card games but watching it on TV doesn't capture my attention. Maybe since GSN is so much more "reality attuned," perhaps adding a strip element to the game would grab some new viewers.
Although I hate reality TV shows, I'll try to give them another try with GSN's new lineup. So far, the cards haven't quite done it for me.

It wasn't too bad. The changeover from Game Show Network to GSN before the show was utterly crappy though, IMO.

That's something I've been wondering but no one said. What exactly took place during the "changeover"?
