Has anyone heard of the show, "Cash Cab"?  If so, how long has it been on?

Interesting show...

It premiered on December 5, with forty episodes ordered for the first series, around twenty of which have aired so far.  I haven't heard whether Discovery Channel has ordered additional episodes.

It's fun to watch, but not particularly compelling or addicting.  Some of the elements are obviously borrowed, but it's an interesting take on the classic quiz show.

You know, there is a Search function here.  I'd highly recommend using it before making posts like this again.

While I've learned to work around its idiosyncrasies, I can totally understand why a new user would get frustrated trying to use the Search function on this thing. So I'm not gonna knock him too much for that.

It's not that I don't know about the search function, I just choose not to use it because it absolutely sucks.  That's a problem with IPS boards.

Right there with you. You can learn to make it work with a lot of fiddling and trying and whatnot, but I totally agree, you work with it, it doesn't work with you.

I usually end up going to the "More Options" window right away -- it's the only way I can get predictable results, but it's an extra hassle nonetheless.

Now, if the OP had asked about Cash Cab and there had been another thread about it, say, on the first screen, then I'd wonder about his competence.  (That said, I'm sure such a scenario will happen sometime today... it's just been that kind of a day for me. :-)

Fabulous.  Now that Beverly's gone, you had to find a new site to write for, huh?

Um, it didn't take very much research to find out that Henke is NOT writing for GSNN, and frankly I would be pretty surprised if they would have him.

And Summer's Eve is very effective for cleansing sandy vaginas.
