A terrible post

Somebody posted a list of the eight most terrible ideas for a game show. It's dumb to even notice lists like these, but nobody ever said I was smart. So I can't help complaining about the first show on the list: Win, Lose or Draw.

Apparently, the list-maker thinks the show was dumb because Burt Reynolds is dumb. I'll let Burt defend himself, but what exactly was so clueless about the idea for the show? I'm not saying Win, Lose or Draw was the greatest game show ever, but it was harmless and sometimes entertaining. The show lasted for a few seasons, so somebody liked it.

Most of the items on the list are more understandable. The Chair was pretty silly, because watching people trying to stay calm does not make for riveting TV. The cat show and the vomit show weren't very brilliant, either. But Rock 'n' Roll Jeopardy? I dunno, regular Jeopardy has been known to ask questions (or give answers) about pop music. What's so terrible about that?

Sure, there's no reason to bother with lists like these, which are only designed to provoke fans of the various shows. But why not get provoked a little? Gives me an excuse for a blog post, anyway.
