Sometimes, it's downright painful to watch! He's not good, bordering on terrible. It's like he doesn't know how to talk to people sometimes, and you can tell that even the players and the audience don't know how to react to some of the things he says. I wish they would find someone new...I think the ratings would go up and it would be more popular if they did.

It's great family fun. I even liked the Brady Bunch back in the day. Chris Knight might possibly be the worst host that I've ever seen on TV though. The concept of viewer generated questions and the way that they play the game is a good one I think. It's the host. He's terrible and he's either got to develop an interesting personality or bail out. I like the board game. It’s great family fun. I even liked the Brady Bunch back in the day.

All of them grew up together on the show, and they all keep in touch. For some, it had been a few years since they'd actually seen each other, so this really was a good time for them and a chance to catch up. They were genuinely happy to be there, and I think the finished product shows that too. The clip shows just how real they are and how much fun they had.

What did surprise me is the week of judges. And, yes, Alex, Judge Judy's still on the air (it actually competes with Deal or No Deal here in Shreveport). DB25, FYI, most of those Brady's 15 minutes of fame expired 14 minutes early. It really didn’t surprise me that they would have a “Brady Week”. What did surprise me is the week of judges.

It's not a terrible show, it's just not interesting enough to keep my attention. I think it's because Christopher Knight doesn't ask any of the questions and really doesn't do much. It's all these video clips doing all the work. I don't want to see Barry Williams host anything...hasn't his 15 minutes for the Brady Bunch expired yet? P.S. Christina's Court has actually won an Emmy (I can't believe it, either)! TP just hasn’t connected with me. It’s not a terrible show, it’s just not interesting enough to keep my attention.

Usually, when a show is desperate for ratings, they bring on D-list celebs to try and spice things up. This also indicates that a show is bordering on cancellation and will do anything celebrity-related to stay alive (see Bullseye, Hot Potato, Temptation, and Hole In The Wall). My guess is that TP: AP is falling into the latter category. I'm also wondering if this is an ill omen for future game shows without any brand name appeal or built-in audiences. *spoiler below*
