Sunday, time to kick back and wander around the game show blogosphere...Kind of off-topic, but when BuzzerBlog's Alex Davis isn't tugging his forelock before the British, he's dissing baseball in favor of hockey. No disputing tastes, and I don't want to sound too snippy. But I'm starting to understand how Alex could have thought Improv-a-Ganza was so great.
Carrie Grosvenor continues to follow the twists and turns of Big Brother's latest season. I watched the first year but quickly tired of the show. If they just played the games and cut out all the "reality" crap, I might tolerate the show. Oh there I go again, being a game show purist.
A thread on Matt Ottinger's board about Sesame Street's parody game show host Guy Smiley (honest!) quickly runs off the rails into a drubbing of one poster for mentioning Subway sandwiches too much (also honest!) Weird stuff happens on the game show internets.
Speaking of those internets, the GSN board continues to chew over the network's latest schedule shakeup. Predictably, a lot of posters want more old stuff. I'm not so sure, and I quote some pretty awful ratings for Tic Tac Dough on its last GSN go-round. Another poster is even more emphatic that older is not necessarily better.
UPDATE: I should make full disclosure about Alex Davis. The guy (under his poster name "itiparanoid13") has badmouthed me on Matt Ottinger's board. So I'm naturally biased against him. But trying to remain as unprejudiced as I can, I still have to say that Alex's adoration of the British long ago passed beyond parody.
