Television history is filled with bad ideas, shows that, when you see them, make you go, "Really? Come on, really?"
To that long and ignominious line, we can now add Show Me the Money. ABC announced this game show last month, telling us then that it would be hosted by William Shatner and would include some "never-before-seen" way to dramatically increase or decrease a contestant's winnings.
Thursday, the network revealed the double-secret mechanism. I should point out that what you're about to read is directly from the ABC press release, 'cause I couldn't make this up if I tried:
In Show Me the Money contestants must answer a minimum of six trivia questions. After each answer, the contestant chooses from among thirteen stunning dancers on stage, each of whom holds a scroll with a dollar figure to be added or subtracted -- for correct or incorrect answers -- to the contestant's total. ...
Adding to the variety aspect of the show are the thirteen stunning Million-Dollar Dancers who are always ready to break into any style of dance, while audacious master of ceremonies William Shatner spontaneously boogies with the beauties on stage.
Wow. Just ... yeah. Hoo boy.
Show Me the Money premieres Nov. 22. After reading that, is anyone -- seriously, anyone -- planning to watch?
I normally like game shows, having been on one, but uh... no.
Wait, so Emeril and an orangutan are going to be dancing with Captain Kirk? I'm there!
Oh Boy! I always liked William Shatner in Boston Legal, Star Trek, Tek War, etc.; however this could prove to be too much!!!
I think that the networks are going insane on Game Shows and their winnings! Do not forget the cl***ic Sci Fi movie "The Running Man" with Arnold Shwarzenegger amd Richard Dawson in which he is a contestant on a game show and on the run for his life...our Society is heading that way on these crazy evening Game Shows! I can only hope that the Game Show insanity stops soon!
Well, whatever?
I guess any group of viewers who sit still through some grubby-looking idiots eating bugs will enjoy Kirk frolicking with some half-naked hot bodies. It takes all kinds.
awww, come on. At least this deal, no deal look-alike has bods that do more than just stand there and smile, and you're meaning to tell me you are going to p*** up on Shatner humor??? Whatever...
