Make Your Own TV

Reality television has hit a new low. Tonight I am watching Gameshow Marathon.

The premise is simple. They recreate every single totally awesome gameshow from the 70s and 80s. Clearly the idea is because there hasn't been a good idea in gameshowing since the Price Is Right added the Mountainclimber game.

They've done Price is Right, Let's Make a Deal, To Tell the Truth. Tonight I'm watching them recreate the Match Game. They use celebrity contestants instead of actuall interesting normal people. Okay. Maybe not celebrities. Tonight was a showdown between Kathy Najimy and Lance Bass. Uh huh. Of course, the celebrities don't win the prizes. The interesting normal people at home do -- we just don't have to look at ugly normal people... just ugly celebrities. (Observation: Both Kathy Najimy and Lance Bass have faces too small for their heads.)

Oh, and despite all the different versions of shows they use the same annoying fucking host -- Rikki Lake!

The sound is bizarre. Rikki is loud as shit and doesn't appear to have ever seen these games before and the production quality is similar to when Damian and I made radio shows in his basement. Heaven help us.

Hey, our sound quality was terrific!

Except when we had two people talking in the same microphone.
