My that must've been a large cast |
|
| |
There was about eight of them, I think. |

Augh, must my jokes constantly go misunderstood? <swoon> |
|

Eight casts? Was Spiderman on there? |

I'm not a big fan of these new amusing/degrating real-life shows. Cross it with a game show and you have my own personal torture. |

It was on the Fishing Channel. |

Actually, the show "This is Your Life" on which this stems from is not new or degrading or a real-life show. It chronicals the lives of semi-famous people as they watch on in wonder as to what the presenter will reveal to him next, his long lost brother, his second year physics teacher, or his boss of twenty years. |

Sounds like a cross between an infomercial and a game show, ¯[ sctld ], not that a game show a bad thing. I'm for the idea of theme prizes that are out of the ordinary ($1MM, loadaboloney) and prizes of aftercare arrangements is very funny. I recall years ago that TV had many shows sponsored by insurance companies, while today the insurers seem to be also-rans aside local service business ads and self-effacing network news ads. Cars and Food seem to predominate in the sponsorship market. |

"One Life to Lose" sounds a bit catchier, if you don't mind my saying. With a tagline like, "Die! So that we might laugh!", or "You'll be glad you lived!" |

Don't surprise people with a contestant entry, either. That is the likening to an informercial that I complained about before. Recalling the "This is Your Life" series, I had the uncomfortable feeling at the time that many of the appearances were anything but spontaneous. That explained, for me at least, that many of a contestant's loved ones had all the personality of a cold commode seat. |
