Title: NBC and Burnett team up again....
Post by: weaklink75 on September 26, 2007, 11:57:00 AM
This one actually has a bit more promise than Amne$ia though... (http://\"http://www.mediaweek.com/mw/news/recent_display.jsp?vnu_content_id=1003646727\") "My Dad is Better than Your Dad". I guess NBC is really thinking there will be one or more strikes coming up...or that their lineup is going to have a lot of holes in it (none of the new NBC shows are getting reviewed very well)....

OK, your Don's on crack.
When I saw the subject header, I thought Carol Burnett was developing a game with NBC.

LOL (I myself am on the border of that certain age when you don't instantly think Mark when you hear the last name Burnett in the TV business)

I wouldn't mind.  It would be better than most of the other stuff that's come through in the last few years.

Considering the title of the show, I wonder if they picked up the idea from an old "Peanuts" strip -- there was a series of strips back in the early-1960s where Violet was saying that her dad was better than Linus' dad.

I seem to recall Violet's comparisons being made to Charlie Brown's dad, not Linus', but I could certainly be wrong.

I wonder how this will differ from Fox's old Family Double Dare.

Well, they probably won't use the Penny Ante noise when they close the isolation booths.

/Oh, wait...

The host will be wearing an open-collar tuxedo.
