The keywords here being "to us". There's an older set of viewers out there who know how to access Buzzr, whether it be OTA or with their cable/satellite, but wouldn't know Hulu from Netflix. THESE are the people who will benefit from it.

This right here. My mom would LOVE Pluto. I tried getting them a Roku box and a year of Hulu one year for Christmas. COMPLETE non-starter. She's got a smart TV in the living room now, and I promise you she has not one damn clue how to use the apps.

I got my mom into game shows as a kid, and before she cut the cord a few weeks ago she watched GSN every day. A couple years ago I bought her a smart TV for her birthday. She almost made me take it back but I managed to teach her how to use the thing. She’d probably love the various game channels on Pluto, but when we explained how the app works she got even more confused and said forget it.

And for that reason that I refused to get her a Firestick.

Next time I’ll tell the story of how she almost gave back her then-new 2015 car because it had a USB instead of a CD player.

Anyone having trouble logging in? It says my email/password are invalid, it won't let me log in using Facebook, and I have yet to receive a reset password email. Wonder if the site isn't as ready as they thought?

I experienced the same things. I made a new account and  that seemed to work.

Damn...now the site is down altogether. I guess they didn't expect as much of a response. I'll try again later tonight.

When I first heard a description of this show, I imagined trap doors that contestants fell through if they stepped on a wrong answer (à la Squid Game). A video floor four feet off the ground doesn't quite match what my imagination conjured.

That said, wasn't that about the distance of the fall on Russian Roulette? I thought they instructed contesti to crumple when they landed on the pads to make it look like it was a straight drop.
