That's too bad. Very enjoyable show.

There's something retro/charming about seeing people get excited over amounts like $400 or $500 for just a few semi-lightweight questions.

It does answer the question of whether syndicated reruns will still be on this fall.

Seven years. That's a healthy run. It was a fun ride, literally.

This is a show that would fit into GSN's schedule, budget wise. I wonder if NBC will pick up that Still Standing program that Ben Bailey hosted.

I, um, wouldn't count on it.

With the price of gas these days, it was probably costing more to run the studio than ever before. :)

Well, I guess, as Ben Bailey has said in one of his comedy routines, he'll have something to fall back on once the show is over. If you haven't, download or watch Ben Bailey's latest DVD. There's a funny routine about him hosting Cash Cab and what might happen if the show got cancelled.

"I am the Cash Cab guy... how do I know, because EVERYBODY tells me!... Hey, you're the Cash Cab guy!... I KNOW!!!!"

Well 7 years is a pretty good run, I hope Still Standing will get picked up, but i'm not holding my breath.
