Catch 21 debuted on Monday, July 21st, on GSN, and so far it seems to be a positive start.  However, I’m really curious to see what you thought of it.  Be sure to leave your comments.  It’s a very fun show that could just use to loosen up a bit more.  It’s too stiff and rigid right now.  Amusingly, as I’m looking around [...]

While true at the time, it looks like his contract with Fox may have gotten in the way of hosting this syndicated show coming September 22nd. There is a new name floating around.

Again, I’m gone until Monday and I really don’t know when and if new updates will come in, it depends if the other writers have stuff.  It not, we’ll be posting portions of my favorite new show of the summer and, quite frankly, my favorite in years, ABC’s Wipeout.  It’s extremely funny and miles better than Celebrity Family [...]

Yes, I know the featured story player hasn’t been updated in a bit.  I don’t have the current set up for it, the person that created the current version does, so there’s not a ton I can do until he updates.  However, if it’s not done by the time I get back, I promise it’ll be updated very early next week.
