Somebody on the Dr. Oz staff must be a real game show fan. It's common late in the show for them to do some sort of simple game involving answers to health questions. Every once in a while, they'll do something that is specifically based on a real game show, like a Pyramid game or something. Monday I happened to catch, of all things, a Million Dollar Money Drop game. They did it for real stakes (though only $500) and what I found interesting was how engaging it was even with a simple set and a smaller amount of cash on the line. I'd love to see this tried again in some lower-stakes, faster-paced version.

Last season, I'm pretty sure that there was an episode where all the segments were audience-participation. I only caught the back end of it, so I can't be sure, but there was definitely WHEEL! OF! PORTION! complete with crowd-shouting. It certainly made my day a little brighter.

I have only seen this on a muted TV at my neighborhood coffee shop, but Nate Berkus seems to be poaching The Price Is Right. Looked to be either "Give or Keep" or "Trader Bob" with knick-knacks. Maybe he'll do "Super Ball" or "Shower Game" next.

Maybe Dr. Oz can do a Liars' Club type segment telling us about the massive amounts of arsenic in our apple juice.

Yes. Because this horse hasn't died enough yet.

Um, I think that was his point.

If it was then he has a weird way of showing it.

I lol'd.
/The show is okay...the game segments seem fun
//Could really do without the scare tactics
///Leave that to us journalists!

Going back to the Money Drop thing (and keep in mind I haven't really watched as much Dr. Oz since he moved to 4 PM in my area- don't ask me why, I don't know)...odd to see them playing for cash (if I'm reading it correctly). Usually it's just small stuff.
I will say this, though...the middle 20 minutes of the show I usually find to be the most entertaining.

A couple of weeks ago, they did a Jeopardy! segment. I was too busy at work, and couldn't pay much attention to it, but it looked good.

Considering the fear-mongering going on in the War on Salt has been going on for decades, I'd say that we need to keep ridiculing the people who foist these scare stories on us. (I like to use the term "Smug Diet": people who think their particular dietary habits are more virtuous, and try to force them upon the rest of us.)
Leave that to us journalists!
I'd love to see a Youtube of you laughing on air at the lady reporter on your station who feeds the vodka-soaked tampons (http://www.kpho.com/story/15981315/teens-using-vodka-tampons-to-get-drunk) or other similar moral panic. (Granted, I presume you don't want to get fired over something like that.)

Recently, they did "Press Your Luck"....the whammy's were cheap imitations, and the audience was not buying it. They started throwing chairs and chanting "We want Peter! We want Peter!" I sware.
(They really did PYL.)

Okay. So you were being serious. My previous comment therefore stands.

Ridicule. Serious business.

The man's got a point. New York's health department needs to STFU. If people want to eat a greasy order of onion rings, that should be their choice. They shouldn't be able to dictate how food is prepared.

They shouldn't? I would rather be assured that my double burger has been prepared by someone who washed their hands and that the meat has been cooked to destroy the various bacteria and nasties that live in it.
We at the TPA here have state mandates that we have to follow otherwise we incur fiduciary penalties. Why should Krusty Burger be any different?

That's not what I meant and you know it. Keep on twisting my words and you won't like the end result.

It wasn't? I had no idea. I just went with what you typed.

Hey everyone, get your popcorn orders in right away.
Or.
Else.
What.

I totally want one of these (http://"http://adrian1974fulga.files.wordpress.com/2010/08/napoleon-pastry.jpeg?w=276&h=183") for dessert tonight.

Having the name of the treat being disclosed in the url kinda ruins the gag. But holy, how appropriate.

Expecting people to know what it was called on sight was a recipe for even bigger comedic fail.

I was either going to go with mille-feuille or those brick cake ice-cream and chocolate layer thing that Mumsy would always have on weekends when me an' sis would be over, and then it would mysteriously disappear by 8p Sunday when we went back to Dad's.
/Wow. Mille-feuille is the French name for That. Score!

When we've got a concerted media campaign along with grandstanding SOB politicians like the execrable Chuck Schumer (not to single him out, but since he's one of the two senators from my state, I see him on TV much more than the rest of your senators) going after Four Loko because the wrong people drink it (note that nobody has a problem with an alcohol/caffeine drink imbibed by acceptable people, such as Irish coffee), yes they deserve to be ridiculed.
