[quote name=\'whammy5000\' date=\'Jan 19 2006, 03:50 PM\']Rock Paper Scissors, eh? I can see what the next new proposal might be...
Get ready to play CELEBRITY COIN-TOSS![/quote]
Don't you dare steal an idea I created over 7 years ago. :-P (Really, I had that idea in late '98, albeit as a joke between myself and about half a dozen friends. The best part of the show was the 50 lb. Susan B. Anthony dollar coin used in the bonus round. It was to follow Shut Up and Fish!)

Didn't Games Across America cover a Rock Paper Scissors tourney several years ago? And A&E's going to make a series out of it? Oy... At this rate, we'll see Kathy Griffin flipping the 50 lb. Susan B. for Edith in Topeka by July...

There was an ATGS thread, which Klaussie alluded to, some yrs back where "ideas" for game shows based on childrens' games were tossed around...pull it up on Google, it's good for a laugh. :-)

And of course ABCFAM's still stuck with "The 700 Club." No one in their right mind would ever call that family-friendly television.

And your point is what?

At least they don't have to bleep words like Conan does.

If I had to make a choice between the two, I'd rather my child hear a few bleeped words out of a dog puppet's mouth than have a man look into a camera and tell her that God condones political assassinations and gives old fat men strokes just to be spiteful.

But for the record, both of those would still top "Boobah". Those things give me the willies.

Can you share the link with the rest of the class, Chuck?

(Dammit, I'm 4 days into student teaching and I already sound like a seasoned vet...)

Gee, thanks for reminding me that those wretched creatures still roam the Earth. Weren't PBS Kid's shows once educational? (Unless they are warning kids that overgrown Koosh balls will eat them unless they succeed in school.)

But enought about that.

I still don't see the entertainment value in watching people play "Rock, Paper, Scissors." Of cource, I don't see the entertainment value in watching people play Texas Hold-Em Poker either. To me both are fun to play, but extremely boring to watch.

You want a high male demographic show and no shortage of wannabe contestants??? Then an ideal game would use all the DoND models for "The $100,000 Duck Duck *Goose*". Brooke Burns could host.

Of course, the ducking and the 'goose-ing' of the models would be different than the way we played it in school!

Tim, I think we'd be better served by Brooke Burns hosting THE BIG DIVE!...a break neck paced show where you can win the gift of a lifetime!!!

What a flashback! Who'da thunk that a couple of those innocent satirical proposals 7 years ago would actually become reality -- one of which is now a highly successful format on several cable channels.
