Sit down

Happened to be watching MLB Network yesterday, and they showed some pre-game silliness from the Mets game. People were playing musical chairs on the field. No lie.

I didn't realize it because the MLB announcers didn't say anything, but I was watching a promo for Oh Sit. That's the CW game show debuting Wednesday, August 15. Contestants endure various obstacle course indignities to claim a chair.

The linked ESPN story offers some footage from the show, and it looks like Wipeout plus music plus chairs. Or maybe a more in-your-face, grown-up version of Nickelodeon's old Guts. The contestants push and shove each other through the stunts while sadistic hosts urge them on. Hey, this could be fun.

Not sure how CW's audience of twenty-something ladies will react to the show, but I'll take a peek and write a review.
