Ugh! Thanks for the not-so friendly reminder, Chad. Besides, I'll probably be at a neighbor's house for their annual Memorial Day cookout during the afternoon marathon.

Some advice: If someone on your neighbor's TV tunes into a show you don't like: try not to scream, claim the show will give you some type of medical emergency or attempt to throw the TV out the window.
Plus: Try to find the condiments table on your own. Don't proclaim, "Hey, I can't find the other parts of the hamburger! I guess I'll have to play the ketchup and pickles fishing game! Geez!"
Glad to hear you've decided to emerge from your parent's basement though. Should try to do it more than two times a year.

Oh, how I wish I had some win sound effects right now.
I agree with Allstar. Well played, Mr. Raygor.

"So far"? Does Fox have any left that they haven't aired, and if they do, when are they supposed to air?
(Wait, don't tell me, let me guess - they'll air in the Pacific/Mountain time zones only in the hour block before The Simpsons on Sunday nights on Fox's NFL doubleheader days (when the postgame show airs in the Eastern and Central zones).
Actually, I have repeats of the Are You Smarter Than A Fifth Grader? eps airing this July/August penciled into those time slots...)

In a conversation with Bob Boden a couple years ago, he said that FOX Reality would never-ever-ever get into the "game show" game, either with reruns or with original productions. And of course we all know he wouldn't say that out of any personal bias against the genre! Seems all the more strange, then, that their first foray into something that really can't be called anything else BUT a game show is THIS little time-waster.

In fact, there's two coming up, at the end of this and next weekend!

I wonder how the posters on the Reality Show Forum* are reacting to the intrusion of game shows on their territory.
*if there is one.
