Yes! GSN is nothing but fucking Family Feud reruns these days.
He could do a weekly write-up, summary of all the crazy/stupid/awesome moments, answers, best games, weirdest contestants…that kind of stuff?
Yes, please…I was commenting along with someone a few weeks ago, and we were all hyped up over some more game show stuff. Let's do it. I have nothing else in my life.
Cliffhangers definitely in the top 5. I would also vote for Punch a Bunch, 10 Chances, the Race Game and the Clock Game!
God, I played that game soooooo many times. I kinda love how crazy and particular it is. Of course, I had to use the guidebook, which I tore to pieces in many fits of rages, usually involving the fucking Beaver Bother.
You are so right…Tooie is fun, but it's just exhausting. I felt like I was walking for miles and miles in that prehistoric level. I thought the game was intensely clever and challenging—but that level and the damn factory did me in. So much walking and backtracking.
Indeed…Click Clock was so awesome. Hell, every world level in that game is joyful perfection.
Absolutely. Just listened to "Tommy" this morning. Jeez, you know, I really like some of the stuff, but the production and delivery just seem so flat and lifeless on the studio record. It's a BORING record—nothing that makes The Who, well, The Who. But live versions of some of those songs are pretty amazing.
Indeed! I grew up with that live album, and when I finally got around to "Turnstiles" and "Streetlife Serenade," I was pretty underwhelmed. Those albums are really poorly produced and staid. Say what you will about Joel (and many do), he could be a pretty expressive singer, and he had a crack band at that time. Those…
I didn't want to say anything … but you are absolutely right. Gwendolyn…I mean, jeez.
I agree totally with this. I work later in the day, so I get to see all this shit in the morning. I don't really watch any of it, but sometimes I just have it on in the background. Despite the amazing amount of absolutely stunning women on what's left of soap operas, there really is something about the programming…
Of course, who would WANT to hug and kiss Drew? He's like a creepy uncle.
Ooooh, tell us more!
Shit, me too. There's gotta be more out there like us! I know someone else wants to analyze how the show seems to succeed despite Carey, who does just enough to get it rolling and get out of the way. I could probably write pages on this. I think something must be wrong with me. But fuck it, I love this shit.
Damn, me too. Or at least a weekly roundup? Best contestants? Craziest game? Weirdest moment? Drew's stupid mumble of the week? Hottest outfits? Dumbest prize? Shit…it writes itself. Someone get on this.
Mine, too! Seriously, though—it must have been something to listen to that music as it was coming out, to be a part of that generation, knowing that The Beatles just somehow KNEW what was going on and what it felt like. That's what makes Sgt. Pepper so amazing—it recreates that drug experience. And Paul's bass always…
"I don't need no gun, John. I DON'T NEED NO GUN. I'M GONNA KILLLLLL YOU NOOOOOOOOOOOWWWWWWWW!"
And he carries an entire TREE on his shoulder!
Ooooh, I gotta try Commando. One-liners, Arnold feeding a deer, and the steel drums. That's a quality night right there.
