As I posted before, I am planning a production of The Joker's Wild , and I MIGHT have an opportunity to do the show in a closed circuit TV studio. Details need to be hammered out, but I do need help.
Is anyone close to the Maryland area (driving distance) interested in being a contestant? I may only be able to do a single half hour show (maybe more than one show, but that's not my call) but I figured only those that lived nearby should apply, as it wouldn't be worth the airfare to only do a half hour game show.
Aaron Sica, Andrew Kudey, Eileen Brown and Bob Staub are the only people I know offhand who are closest to where I live, so if you are interested, please email me at mkaiser@cavtel.net.

As I mentioned in email, I would be happy to lend a hand in any way you need, as a contestant or otherwise.

I'm sorry:
I'm coming out of hibernation for this one.
Kaiser you already disgraced Whew and Match Game, I beg you, don't do the same to TJW. You are one of the reason I stopped posting around here. I'm just tired of people constantly kissing your butt for your lousy productions. I've seen better productions at third-grade class plays.
Aaron Sica: I consider you a friend and as your friend I'm advising you not to have anything to do with this. Please. It's not a demand, I'm asking this as your friend.
Kaiser, time to exit fantasy land and join the real world. I grew up and got a real job. You're five years older than me. I think it's time for you to do the same.
I can smell the censors coming after this one right now. Well go right ahead and send me off. I'm stating my piece. So be it.

Yes, that Chuck.

Wow. I forgot how much I missed Chuck.
Well, no, I didn't.

Chuck, with all due respect, have you ever even seen his production of Whew? Having done some productions of my own in college, I know firsthand the headaches and hassles that go with putting these kind of shows together, and from that standpoint, I think Matt did a damn good job. And I'm also in talks to assist Matt for his upcoming TJW production in some way. No ass-kissing whatsoever, just a friend helping another friend/fellow GS fan...this is about as much ass-kissing as a former ATGS troll once accused us of exhibiting towards another regular to this board a coupla yrs back.
And let me get this straight...you stopped posting here over a coupla measly threads over Kaiser's homemade productions? Come on...if it were Zinkin who wanted to stage his own version of W!, I'm sure your response would be "OK, as long as you give some mention of Randy at the end" (And FWIW, Matt did indeed dedicate his production to our dearly departed friend).
Why should Aaron have nothing to do w/this, BTW? If neither he nor anyone else (myself included) is backing you on your position, maybe it should tell you something...I don't know if you're genuinely opposed to this, or just using it as a method of channelling your frustrations over some personal prob you might be having...if it's the latter, I feel for ya and know exactly where you're coming from, but I don't see how taking it out on Matt is the way to resolve it.
Now it's my turn to say something to you as a friend: Let it go. Is it really worth taking a stance like this over something as trivial as a homemade GS production? I can almost guarantee that you'll be flying solo on this one, so as Allen Ludden used to say, "Think about it."

Let me go On The Record here and say that I myself OWN a copy of Matt Kaiser's Whew! Production and it is one of the best homemade things I've ever seen.
Gibson, lets be sensible here. Matt can't rent space at Televsion City nor does he have the budget to build a full set with bells and whistles and award real cash prizes. Matt does best and what he can do and he can do it well.
If I was in the area I would most certainly come to Matt and assist in his TJW production. He's a good person and a friend.
Aaron, not only would I recoment you attend Mats TJW production but I think you should send Gibson a copy afterwards !

I apologize for not being able to make it for your production (Gary, Indiana, is a pretty long way from Maryland), but I do wish you well in your efforts.
I also do game show productions at my university, and I know how stressful that can be...finding contestants, making sure the set design goes right, finding the right theme music, checking on audio/visual, etc. So keep it up, and you will get your much deserved following.
Well wishes,

Well said, Chuck D. I've done a couple of homemade productions myself, and they couldn't hold a candle to Matt's.
Chuck G: geez, cool it. So he wants to make an ep of TJW? Big deal.

Thanks. :-) And looking back, compared to the stuff I've put together, Matt's latest productions have been Emmy-worthy...LOL
Chuck G: geez, cool it. So he wants to make an ep of TJW? Big deal.
Exactly...I don't recall John Ricci getting any pleas not to do his homemade All-Star FF and Body Language shows, or told that they were "embarassments". Besides, Chuck himself told me that he thought Matt's 2nd MG production "really wasn't that bad"...why the sudden 180, I have no clue.

When I did my first 'tape trade' with Matt, he added his version of 'Match Game' as a bonus. I thought it was a pretty good effort on the parts of Matt and his cohorts taking part. And to those 'naysayers,' who want to put down Matt's efforts, just wait til he does his homemade version of STUDS!*

There's a big difference between doing a game show production to satisfy your ego and doing one right.
Kaiser does them to satisfy his ego.
When he actually gets one of his ideas to the pilot stage, let me know.
I'm not easing up. I saw his crap in Cleveland two years ago. You wouldn't know the amount of bile I had to swallow for the sake of civility.
Oh and look who came back: Tammy Warner. Boy in a censored forum you can talk, but when people bash your boy Steve Beverly in an uncensored forum, you run crying off. I still visit his site, and it still stinks to high heaven.
That's another reason I left, the garbage fan boy element of fans is allowed to talk here with impunity and is coddled. I don't need to swear to get my point across anymore, but I went back and poked through a lot of topics. A lot of fanboy appeasement still exists.
Kaiser and his lunacy brought me out of retirement. It's a real shame to see what the game show community has turned into. Fanboys and chickens who leave when we ruffle the feathers of one of their friends. I'm going back into retirement. Yes, I know "Good go back, and stay there, we don't need you."
With Pleasure!

Of course he does. What the hell is wrong with that? His time, his money, his tape. I do a lot of things to assuage my ego, too. So do you.

Wise move. If you didn't, I'm quite sure you'd be directed to the door presently anyhow.

First, putting on any game show production is hard. Especially with a limited budget. How would I know? I did a mock-version of Family Feud in November for our University's Program Board. Was it like the TV show? No way. It was by all means, a disaster. But it was so successful and generated so much buzz that they asked me to do it again. And each time you do one, you learn new tricks to get it done better.
As for doing them for satisfying his ego? So what. Let him do what he wants. Just because it's not the way YOU think it should go doesn't make him wrong for doing a fun production.
Oh and look who came back: Tammy Warner. Boy in a censored forum you can talk, but when people bash your boy Steve Beverly in an uncensored forum, you run crying off. I still visit his site, and it still stinks to high heaven.
some people still don't like steve. But does she (or I) post to what they say? No. we leave it alone. And at least the posts here don't consist of sadistic, mean-spirited posts. Maybe that's why she and others came back.
That's another reason I left, the garbage fan boy element of fans is allowed to talk here with impunity and is coddled. I don't need to swear to get my point across anymore, but I went back and poked through a lot of topics. A lot of fanboy appeasement still exists.
So how exactly should all the fans be like...you? Get over yourself. We have fans from all ages here- ranging from the 60's to the early teens. We have men, women, straight, gay, from all parts of life, and we are all here to do one thing- talk about game shows. Just because Most of us don't think the way you do doesn't mean we shouldn't speak our minds. This isn't some elitist organization- it's about game shows.

Ego fix? So what do you call this one-man battle you've waged against him? And he's not "doing them right?" The productions, IMO, seem basic as far as aesthetics go, but are faithful replicas of their big-time TV counterparts, so I'd say he's certainly "doing them right".
When he actually gets one of his ideas to the pilot stage, let me know.
This is akin to the anti-Jason Block crowd trying to downplay his GS success by saying "he didn't cure cancer"...I doubt that Matt has any intention of taking his shows to the pilot stage, so why not just take them for what they are: homemade GS productions made for the entertainment of a select few?

Yeah, we've got fanboys...so? I tolerate them just as I used to tolerate others back on ATGS before it became Harvey and Grant's personal playground. We've still got Curt, George, Mark J, the two Brandons, and other familiar faces, and they far outnumber the GSN board castaway-types by a longshot.
Oh, and you want lunacy? Why don't you peek into the wasteland formerly known as ATGS, where Harvey's prolly posting his millionth impersonation of you as I type this? I'll gladly take a board w/a few select fanboys over a troll-laden NG that requires constant killfile updates any day.
I like you, Chuck, but I'm standing by my defense of Matt and his productions. End of story.

Fair warning: if Matt *does* end up doing a homemade version of Studs, then I will roast him like there's no tomorrow, isolation booth or no isolation booth.
This warning has nothing to do with the merits (or lack thereof) of doing homemade game show productions... I am simply compelled to speak out against evil, and Studs qualifies. :-D

Of course I can take a joke, Tammy... and Matt's too smart to try to revive that show anyway.
Which isn't to say that some others here haven't missed the requisite number of Clueville shuttles; after all, I still recall getting serious responses to my contestant calls for 'Net Match Game 98 *and* The Zooventure-Everything Goes Hour.

Oh, I dunno. Mine get a decent addition of Worcheshire (sp?) sauce and an hour or so to let it marry in before I make the patties.
Form the patties loosely, never squeeze. That way the juice has somewhere to stay inside the burger.
Then, while they are grilling, I'm sauteeing up a mixture of mushrooms and chopped garlic in some butter.
Burgers come out, topped with mushroom mixture, and then a slice of Swiss cheese is melted over the top. Place on a proper bun...no other condiments are necessary.

So what if he does them to satisfy his ego? He wants to have fun doing it; so let him.
When he actually gets one of his ideas to the pilot stage, let me know.
I assume you're comparing him to John Ricci, in which case I say apples and oranges. Matt's a fan who likes to put together his own versions of classic game shows, and John's a professional who got an original concept of his to pilot. Of course John's will look better, because they're produced for eventual airing on television. Matt's productions are a hobby of his that he does for his personal enjoyment and the enjoyment of those he tape trades his shows with.
I'm not easing up. I saw his crap in Cleveland two years ago. You wouldn't know the amount of bile I had to swallow for the sake of civility.
When I produce crap, it usually has all my bile in it.... :-)
Oh and look who came back: Tammy Warner. Boy in a censored forum you can talk, but when people bash your boy Steve Beverly in an uncensored forum, you run crying off. I still visit his site, and it still stinks to high heaven.
I'd advise you that picking fights with someone who did nothing to you [which you have done twice, first to Matt and then to Tammy] is a good way to end up back on ATGS with Harvey & Grant force-feeding you the entire run of TTD90 over and over.
I've had choice words for the Prof in the past, but overall he does what he does fairly well.
That's another reason I left, the garbage fan boy element of fans is allowed to talk here with impunity and is coddled. I don't need to swear to get my point across anymore, but I went back and poked through a lot of topics. A lot of fanboy appeasement still exists.
Huh? You get this from Matt asking if anyone is interested in participating in TJW and the Way Out Games fanatic? Wow.
Kaiser and his lunacy brought me out of retirement. It's a real shame to see what the game show community has turned into. Fanboys and chickens who leave when we ruffle the feathers of one of their friends. I'm going back into retirement. Yes, I know "Good go back, and stay there, we don't need you."

Exactly...although fun to watch, I doubt John would ever use his All-Star FF or Body Language home-produced games when trying to impress network execs.

And believe me, you don't want Harvey or Grant force-feeding you anything, LOL...but I digress...it may be less volatile than it was back on ATGS, but Beverly still takes a good deal of criticism over here, yet I haven't seen Tammy threaten to leave in the whole time the board's been around.
I'll be honest here----goodbye and good riddance. Have fun playing in Grant's sandbox again.
Again Chuck, I like you no less than I ever have, but if you're just coming out of retirement to pick up where you left off on ATGS, I'm telling you as a friend that it's not something we need around here.
