I decided on a whim to set my TIVO to record Game Show Marathon on CBS this week. Whoa. This could be the most poorly conceived and executed concept I have ever witnessed on television. It's essentially C-list celebrities "playing" classic tv game shows. The first episode, which one would assume is the best of the bunch, is The Price Is Right hosted by Ricki Lake. Now if seeing Paige Davis (Trading Spaces host from 2 years ago) trying to win $80,000 in Plinko and come up with a measely $1600 for her charity sounds painful, then you should see Kathy Najimy (from, I don't know Sister Act?) miss a three foot putt that would have netted a $77,000 Caddy convertible. Lance Bass, Tim Meadows and Leslie Neilsen didn't even get to see the fucking stage in this cluster fuck which begs the question, do they get paid for an appearance on this piece of shit regardless? I'm so scared to see how they can pull of Let's Make a Deal with the completely bored studio audience who is unfortunate enough to have to watch these "stars" pretend to understand a game show they have never apparently watched in the first place.
Please kill me.
