GSN’s picked up Show Me the Money the “hit” show hosted by William Shatner. The show will be rerun to death Tuesdays at 8/7c starting June 12, with two never-before-seen episodes on July 17 and 24.  There are seven episodes total.  On Show Me the Money, contestants had to answer trivia questions of various difficulty. After answering, they must pick one of thirteen scrolls. A right answer added the money, up to $250,000, to their bank with a wrong answer subtracting it. If the player gets the Killer Card, the player’s money is at risk as the next answer must be answered correctly or it’s game over. The show started out relatively strong with a 7.3 but eventually fell to a 4.4/7.

I have to say, after I have been exposed to Bingo Night, I’ll gladly watch this any day of the week over that. At least there’s a tiny bit more gameplay than pressing a button after making a 50/50 decision with nothing at stake. At least there’s also a tiny bit of brain involved. I suppose this means the rest of the players have to be paid now, doesn’t it?
