My Feud with The Feud

Are you watching Celebrity Family Feud? We seem to be going through one of those cycles where game shows are back (remember the Millionaire craze of 1999?). There’s Million Dollar Password, The Price is Right Million Dollar Craptacular, etc (mind you that none of these shows actually give away money). But game shows are hot again (thanks writer’s strike). They aren’t the kind I normally like because I am a trivia girl myself (yes, I made it to the second round of auditions for World Series of Pop culture last year -- got through the wicked written exam, flunked the personality portion. Figures.). I would dominate on Who Wants to Be a Millionaire, if only I could get on. But Family Feud – I have fond memories of this show from childhood. Richard Dawson always found a way to molest the female family members on camera, and then he would offer them a lollipop (sometimes with money in it). Ah, those were the days. I always thought my family of five would rock that show, if I could just get us all to California (never gonna happen). So, I must be content watching the B-cast of The Office go head to head with the American Gladiators. With jolly Al Roker as the host (who did he sleep with at NBC to get this gig?). I was annoyed with my gameplay last night as the cast of My Name as Earl, in character, went for the comedy answers instead of trying. It was not pretty. Either the comedy is more important than the game, or they are really that stupid. At any rate, I’ll stick to my classic Game Show Network when I want a good fix. With a side of trivia, please.
