Grand theft auto and other crimes

I did some repelling off cliffs in my college days, when I was younger and dumber. But it wasn't moi who repelled into a San Fran car dealership and swiped Minute To Win It host Guy Fieri's yellow Lamborghini. The car has since been spotted all over the Bay Area, it seems, but remains larcenously at large. I wonder how many minutes the thief spent on the heist.

My appetite for kid game shows is still limited. But fans of underage gamers will be happy that Cartoon Network has renewed Hole in the Wall and Destroy Build Destroy. Now if somebody would only revive Legends of the Hidden Temple, my old grumpy self might even get interested. I liked Olmec.

Carrie Ann Inaba is either engaged or not engaged to a slightly younger guy. I'm not too fascinated either way, but at least Carrie Ann's version of 1 vs. 100 will return to GSN weekdays on April 11. The show recently got exiled to weekends after its ratings slipped.

Bob Barker has done a genuinely good deed by chipping in a couple million to the Semper Fi fund for injured soldiers and their families. Lord knows the man has endured enough bad publicity, so it's a pleasant change to report something positive.

Millionaire, the most frequently guest-hosted critter in the game show zoo, will get...a guest host next week! It's Sherri Shepherd, who's turning up on daytime TV almost more than Charlie Sheen lately.
