It has a range of 30-250 beats per minute.

So it can't tell if you're dead?

[geek] That's actually a screencap from Mario Party DS. Couldn't they find just one screencap from a Wii game? [/geek]

Re: TBS Looks For New Text-In-And-Win Show

WHAT? Midnight Money Madness rocked so much. It needs to come back. Maybe if they changed a few things (just a few), it could air earlier than midnight. But saying that maybe "they can come up with something interesting and original for a change" is just mean. I doubt you've even watched the show for more than 5 minutes.

Well, I liked it a lot and I miss it already. It's ok to say that you didn't like it, or even that you hated it, but I don't think that you can say that a show is bad or that it blew. In my mind, it's all subjective, it's a matter of opinion. It's not a fact that the show blew. Anyway, let's agree to disagree vehemently :)

I thought it was very funny, the hosts were great... yes, the games were kind of easy, like every text-in/call-in game that has ever existed in the world. PlayMania is really boring. I used to love it, but once I saw MMM, I had a new favorite show. By the way, the producers of Midnight Money Madness say that the show will come back in some form some day on some channel.

Re: Rumor Control: Two New "Playmania" Shows to GSN?

Mathieu Plante — Mon, 12 Feb 2007 21:43:04 -0000

I can confirm the Quiznation and 100 Winners promo. I watch GSN a lot (a LOT) and have been seeing it in every other commercial for the last few days. I'm quite excited about it too and I can't wait to hear more about it.

If it were up to me, I would say Quiznation could be a daytime companion to PlayMania, maybe in the morning or afternoon so it would compete with My Games Fever. 100 Winners could air in the Monday at midnight time-slot, since PlayMania only airs Tuesday through Sunday. I just hope they don't air one of them AFTER PlayMania, that would suck, I don't want to have to choose between it and Play2Win. Maybe 100 Winners could air in the afternoon and Quiznation at 2 AM or something similar?

How can they have 3 interactive shows in late night? Either one will air outside of late night, or else PlayMania will get a few of its nights cut.

I'm guessing that Jessica York will probably be the secondary / fill-in host on both shows. I agree she's not that great, but I like her anyway. I hope the Quiznation set looks as nice as that 100 Winners pic makes that show look. Classy! I'm sad to see the name PlayMania go away, though...

What’s not to love about 10-year-olds gaining the intellectual high ground over nervous adults, fearing humiliation in front of a live studio audience?

Mmm, do we have to answer that?

How come Bob Goen is in one of the new "Get in the Game" GSN idents? Will "That's the Question" come back, or is he going to host another show on the network?

Re: "Let's Play Crosswords" Name Change

Mathieu Plante — Tue, 01 May 2007 11:42:42 -0000

Wikipedia: "Crossfire was a current events debate television program that aired from 1982 to 2005 on CNN. Its format was designed to present a discourse between a politically liberal speaker and a conservative speaker."

And there's the whole Jon Stewart incident. So, no.

Re: "Let's Play Crosswords" Name Change

Mathieu Plante — Tue, 01 May 2007 22:13:49 -0000

The fact that there was a CNN show means nothing, Jon Stewart or not. There’s been several TV shows that had the same title. Granted “Crossfire” might be the most successful example, CNN can’t stop someone from using the title.

Yes, but when a show uses a title that has already been used by an other show, it's always an obscure show from decades ago. Crossfire ended just 2 years ago, and it lasted for 23 years. And it was very popular.

Re: Rumor Control: "Camouflage" Host Roger Lodge

I'm not sure, but I think it's the guy from the poker / blackjack / whatever gambling IDs, so I guess he's a star of one of those shows.

Re: Early Look at "Camouflage"

Mathieu Plante — Thu, 21 Jun 2007 21:11:50 -0000

is this show staged before a studio audience (unlike “Lingo”?)

From the article you must have not read: "It’s the most canned audience I’ve ever heard in my life; they would have been better not to even bother with the applause track."

Re: Comedy Central Picks Up "Kenny VS Spenny"

Mathieu Plante — Tue, 21 Aug 2007 16:51:57 -0000

Kenny vs. Spenny is a critically-acclaimed show, and its format has been sold to many countries... Just because it doesn't fit on GSN and it's not really a game show doesn't mean it's not a good show. Comedy Central is the right place for that show, I think it should fit in very nicely.

Re: Nine Network in Australia Picks Up "Power of 10"

Mathieu Plante — Thu, 23 Aug 2007 14:46:28 -0000

Since it will air on Channel Nine, they should call it "Power of Nine" and multiply by 9...

* $1,000 question: 40% range
* $9,000 question: 30% range
* $81,000 question: 20% range
* $729,000 question: 10% range
* $6,561,000 question: Exact guess from the previous question (see below)

Yeah, that would sort of make sense.

Both shows are syndicated by CBS so it’s the same interviewer, but still two totally different interviews.

I agree with Marc, they should just speed up the rest of the game. They could probably finish it in under 2 minutes if they just asked the person to choose their remaining cases quickly, no need to tell us what the banker would have given them. Or they could just ask them to open their own case right away, since it would be a low amount anyway...
