Game Show Friday Night
A lot of game shows were on the major networks Friday. I was out at a party so I didn't get to check all of them out, but a few notes. 1: Wow, Drew Carey has to be the luckiest person in the universe. First Power of 10 and now Price is Right. 2: Amne$ia wasn't as god awful as I expected, but it still seems off to me. It's another one of those shows that does not fit in primetime despite the efforts of producers. I really unfairly compared this to Moment of Truth; it's like comparing apples and oranges. I'm still more of a fan of Moment of Truth. I felt more emotion on that game than I did on Amne$ia, and Mark Walberg comes off as a much stronger host than Dennis Miller. But still, not a bad little show at all and one of th

“Amne$ia” Photo Gallery
Coming up in a few hours we'll have a photo gallery of what looks to be Double Dare taken way too seriously: My Dad is Better Than Your Dad. But for now we have Dennis Miller's new hosting vehicle, Amne$ia. What's shocking is that the show is debuting in two weeks and not a thing is known about it beyond the basic idea of people answering questions about events that have happened in their life for money. Many people have been calling it a Moment of Truth ripoff, which I am guilty of too. Looks nothing like it, so it may be a bit more interesting that I guessed. Check out the pictures and the actual show which debuts on February 22nd at 9:00PM ET on NBC.

NBC Schedules “Amne$ia” and Increases “Deal or No Deal”
I'm often amazed at how Deal or No Deal, through NBC's extreme over exposure, can remain extremely strong and popular. However, do you think it'll keep it up for a two hour weekly episode? This is part of NBC's midseason of midseason shake-up. First off, once 1 VS 100's season finale is over on Friday, February 22nd, NBC's new game show, Amne$ia, sees its debut at 9:00PM ET. If you note, the show has seven letters, with the "e" in the middle. There's place to zoom through the "e" in the logo, so I think we're safe. You can calm down, everyone. Amne$ia can basically be described as a light-hearted Moment of Truth with a worse host, Dennis Miller. I like him, but he just doesn't hold a candle to Mark L. Walberg of FOX's lie detector
