The production company apparently has uploaded the debut episode online on Google video.

Now imagine that you're in the state of Ohio and are going to be subjected to that weekly from now until question mark.

Yeah, well, I'm nowhere near Ohio, and I know I'm going to be subjected by that weekly from Henke.
I'm whimpering. Big time.
(Henke - a side note. Just save yourself the time and energy and don't bother doing the recap. You'll get more out of your time by going outside and inhaling fresh air)

Don't televisions in Ohio change channels?
(I'm more looking forward to the month-old recaps that Henke will almost certainly favor us with. And by "looking forward" I mean "prepared to plunge a knife into my temple".)

I watched, just to see if the 'lottery game show' had evolved to any significant degree since "Cash Explosion." Round one was kinda neat; with the play it safe/risk for more paradigm working, along with the vote.
And then we get to the Elimination Round and the $50k Face-off, and it all goes to hell. Why would you bother stealing an unknown card from someone else? It's not like at the office Christmas party where I can snipe the Best Buy gift card from someone else, or open a package hoping for something good. There are six unknown cards, and only one of them being interesting to any degree. ($5,000 to leave the game early) And the $50k Face-off ended before we could see what the green balls did. Yawn.
I liked the first half, at least compared to other lottery shows, but the second half is completely awful.

There is only one thing worse than watching MMFMMR in Ohio...
...Watching Governor Bob Taft speak in Ohio. (What does he have now, a *4*% approval rating??? They gotta use a decimal point in order to give him two numbers for his approval rating nowadays!)
/Thank goodness I got the hell outa Ohio...Nice place to visit, but.../

My Gawd, this is friggin' awful.
And who gave Jase from Big Brother a game show?
EDIT: I just finished watching it. It got WORSE. Holy.

Makes me glad I missed it. I'm not usually in on Saturday nights, and I wasn't watching CEDP in its waning years anyway.

Wow. I am speechless. I will never get back those twenty-one minutes of my life back.

Considering that the absolute best thing about it, by far, was that cute little opening animation/theme, followed by the fact that the too-loud-but-capable "dude" host didn't totally suck, followed by the fact that they did have to play a stupid nothing-but-luck game, followed by an even stupider nothing-but-luck game followed by the stupidest nothing-but-luck bonus game ever, I agree, it got progressively worse as it went on.
(By the way, why would you ever choose to go second in that bonus game?)
It makes me yearn for the genius that was Illinois Instant Riches.

I'm usually at work on Saturday nights at 7:30. Anyway, I only did HM for reference only.

No comment to the above.
As for the show.....I only heard the theme music [it's on T.Q's site]........and that's all I'll need to see or hear to know that this probably beats "Thousand Dollar Bee" for worst [or at least, most annoying] GS ever.

I agree completely. The only thing I remember from watching that show was the bonus round/end game. IIRC, it was something like King of the Hill's (unsold pilot) maingame, right? And that was killer.
Anywho, back to this disaster, where does the "Make me Famous" come in?
This was just plain bad. Bad, bad, bad.
-

There's some sort of poorly-explained promotion involving the higher-price tickets where, through some process, someone playing the Ohio Lotttery will become co-host for up to a year.
-
Me thinks the Ohio Lottery has invented a new home improvement tip:
"To get old wallpaper off the walls in your home cleanly and easily, place TV in the center of room, turn on Make Me Famous, Make Me Rich, crank up the volume, and leave the room for 30 minutes."
Where is Jonathan Goodson when you need him???

Based on the comments in the thread, I thought this would be one of the worst shows I've ever seen. It was bad, but it was nothing compared to the crap we had for years in Wisconsin with the horribly bad Money Game, followed by an even more terrible Super Money Game. Not only were both games lame and boring to watch, the production looked like something out of public access. Terrible for a state lottery show.

Is it just me, or was anyone else hoping that they only saving grace would be a different word to rhyme with "niche" in the theme?

This makes me glad the UK National Lottery show is 1 vs 100 and that show is bad.
-
Episode two: even worse. You know, I always thought the worst game show was Regis' game show in the 70's. This show should be used as an example to all high school television students on how NOT to produce television programming. Oh, Mills/James Productions out of Columbus, Ohio. They mainly produce trade show presentations....and it shows.
-
The best part is that they had Cash Explosion episodes up, so you can juxtapose the two. It's like comparing 1979 Card Sharks to 2001 Card Sharks
Among other flaws, Famous/Rich has way too much "game." Those audience signs look snazzy, though.
I wonder how loud the outcry is to bring back Cash Explosion.

What's it like, talking from a completely different reality than the rest of us?

Can't make too much out with these damn glasses; make me see shades of light red everywhere.
Is it faulty to try and find one good thing about the show or am I just not jaded enough to see the forest for the rotting trees? I mean, you can only say that the show blows in so many different ways. Might as well say something else.

Yes, but most people would say something that was rooted in, you know, fact.

I know lottery games have to be devoid of skill and all, but there must be a better way to award cash than plucking ping-pong balls from a drum and picking random amounts from a board. For those who would know such a thing, is California's Big Spin still on the air? Those people know how to put on a lottery show.

I found ONE interesting thing in 30 minutes of show. Even Inquizition managed to have 60 questions per game. This is just awful through and through, and there's absolutely no reason to pretend otherwise.
-
I never, never, NEVER thought I would be saying this but...
Lelani and Michelle, come back...all is forgiven.
-
I'd rather have Paul and Sharon. You atleast would know what you'd get.
I wish the Ohio Lottery would dump Mills/James and go back to the old agency and bring back CEDP, the original version. The contestants would earn more money than now and give them the 6 minutes of fame versus feeling like I'm watching a carnival barker at Cedar Point or Kings Island. Zero connection with the tv audience. Bad technique!
-
Is that host a bad Mark Mathis impersonator? Gee, he got on my nerves. Besides the fact that the round descriptions were rushed (I didn't even know what the "safe" board was for until it came into play), this was just a waste of my time. Yuck. I feel sorry for the people of Ohio.

PS: The theme song blows, too.

Okay, I just wanted to make sure it was the same Mark Mathis that I now see on a regular day-to-day basis at the station where I currently work (honest!!!).
Nowadays, Mark is not as crazy as he was on that video from Charlotte, NC. He's actually a pretty good guy.
Now if you really want to know who a "Weatherman From Hell" *really* is, you need not look any further than Jeff Tancheck(sp?), weatherman from WOIO--19 Action News In Cleveland.
(Ob Game Shows: Jeff T. came to Cleveland from Buffalo, where he was in direct competition with weatherman Kevin O'Connell, former host of "Go".)
