I will still go to the grave saying GSN’s best original, all around, they ever did was Russian Roulette.  And thank god that drop never got old.  Part of it was because of the exciting, scary, tense game play a few years ahead of its time.  It’s also partly due to the funny and fun contestants they had.  Anyone who screamed before they dropped made the show.  For this [...]

If you haven’t noticed, the current game show host trend is to get stars from the 80s or 90s who have faded, had some fame back then, and make them the new big thing.  For the most part it’s worked out well.  Really, the only people who haven’t been hired by this process are Mark Walberg and Regis Philbin, but they are both awesome so they deserve the primetime [...]

How did I miss this show?  On ABC right now is a new stunt show called Wipeout.  I hate to say it, but I wholeheartedly recommend it more than NBC’s Celebrity Family Feud.  Both are good, but Wipeout is just more funny and entertaining.  If you get bored of Feud, switch to ABC as soon as you can.  Am I the [...]
