Just got to see this on a trip to the US.

I didn’t think they could come up with anything that was less game than Deal or No Deal, but wow, they did it. We can’t even appreciate what strategy there might theoretically be behind someone’s gameplay because if they tell Corbin, they ruin the strategy. So no one says anything. So we’re reduced to watching four people pushing buttons (behind their backs, where we can’t see them), refusing to discuss strategy with the host, and the “suspense” of the reveal where you can deduce who’s screwed while the in-studio people get some small measure of actual suspense.

When the chat with the contestants is the most fun part of your show, you’re doing it wrong.

‘How Much Is Enough?’ is the ‘Seinfeld’ of game shows. After finally watching an episode at 4pm yesterday, it’s truly a game show about nothing. Getting rewarded for pressing a buzzer–what a ‘concept’. My mom says that ‘a two-year-old could even play this game.’

In a word…dreadful, both in execution and hosting.

I loved this show. Corbin Bernsen was outstanding with the contestants and it just goes to show you that a game show doesn’t need to be overly complicated and the rules are simple and straight to the point. Even a little kid could understand this game. As simple it is, it does take some psychic skills some evaluation of your opponents to try to guess when you think they’ve played to cautious or to greedy. Love it love it love it.

How much is enough…that we can pay GSN to make this go away?

I was on this show. I can tell you, it is absolutely hysterical. I didnt win a damn thing but had so much fun anyways. It takes no brain power but looks like it does. It is the ultimate guessing game.

It’s gotten to the point (already, after just 2 shows) where I’m not interested in the first few rounds. The $5000 round and the final faceoff remain very exciting for me though — it feels weird not having a longer interview segment after we get a winner, but I don’t know how one could consistently do such a segment well.

I am split on the game, I found reasons to like it and reasons not to. I liked it because it’s not afraid to give cash prizes that aren’t in increments of $100 or $250. Ever since Dawson’s Feud I’ve been waiting for a show to give away an “odd” amount. I didn’t like it because the money clock went too fast (as Marc Power said)
and they start right in with the $1,000 dollar clock and then the boring banter, whereas I think it should be the other way around.

I’m glad to see there’s more than three people on this planet who like this show. The folks at GSN Buzz and Invision are hating on it pretty badly. I, for one, think it’s a splendid little game. It’s fun to watch, easy to get into, and it most certainly beats the pants off another monotonous word game.

I don’t want to be posting at the GSN forums since I’ll be seeing a majority of bitchy people complaining about this game. That’s just a small rant.

But for the game, I really liked it. I found some playability at home, so listen up. I kept the TV at mute, covered the number of players locked in and only focused at the counter. When I wanted to stop, I reveal the number of players who have locked in. If I’m too greedy, that’s my problem, heh.

The problem is that I didn’t have time to catch the final round. I’m assuming that I will catch that next time, maybe tomorrow. Like Alex said, it had a little bit of formula from “Friend or Foe” which I could give much faith for.

There are potential of lots of money to be won if the player plays strategically. It sure beats a solid $5,000!

Yeah, I actually TiVoed 9:30pm on GSN too because of said comment. Actually, my Tivo DID say TO BE ANNOUNCED at 9:30 for about 3 days. After it didn’t say that,even though it
said Feud, I was thinking in could be a mistake or maybe a Feud 94′ ep.

I was just hoping something good was going to be on at 9:30 pm like Alex had hinted at a couple of weeks ago.
