(Not enough snarking opportunities on <i>Antiques Roadshow</i>, y'know.) <i>didnt Mark L learn ANYTHING from temptation Island???</i> Considering TI isn't the only Fox show Mark has hosted (both installments of <i>Test the Nation</i> (which wasn't too bad, IMO) and the dud <i>Anything for Love</i> come to mind)...probably not. ;) As for the show itself, I'm reserving judgement.

Agree he's the most underrated host since Jim Peck (TJW subbing and getting passed over for an over the hill bill cullen was as good as it got) I LIKED on the cover actually...it was a cute concept and reminded me a little of headline chasers...but the celeb trash jokes got old FAST. But this show looks to be going....TO WHERE MARK?!?!?!?! uggg hot seat + fox = man didnt Mark L learn ANYTHING from temptation Island???

I think that lie detectors could be easy to beat but if a player has to keep his or her cool after answering questions this could get interesting. I don't think i could fully beat a lie detector and i'm not really sure i'd want to try although considering that the prize is $500,000 it would be tempting to try but i would be happy with $50,000 I think that Russian Roulette needs to be in reruns at least on weekends on GSN.

And to add to it, most (if not all) of both men's shows were pretty short-lived... I see where you’re coming from now.

Like how Jim peck did have 1 or 2 good shows that I can think of immediately but had a lot of horrible shows like Hot Seat & 3's a crowd that killed his career.

Not all of his shows are bad, Mr. Power. (Russian Roulette comes to mind, doesn't it?) But yes, this is beginning to sound like a bad show.

But yes, this is beginning to sound like a bad show.

Nothing But The Truth will probably deal him a 7-2 offsuit, in poker terms. And oh crap. This came in quietly: <a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/science/2007/sep/18/sciencenews.crime" rel="nofollow">this format's gone to the UK</a>. On Sky One, predictably; they picked up Fifth Grader (starts next Sunday with Noel 'No Deal' Edmonds, I may force myself to watch it once for review so you don't have to) and they're part of the same Murdoch empire, so it makes sense.

But I am very glad that FOX is trying something a little different. I want to watch it, but I dont completely trust lie detectors. But the host: WOOHOO! I'm so glad that Mark L. Walburg is coming back! Much better than getting a B-list bad comedian to host. (i'm talking about u foxworthy! lol) I was actually thinkning of “The Chair” when reading this, whcih was not a very good success. But I am very glad that FOX is trying something a little different.
