So I’ve been spending a lot of time with my dad and my step-mom and that means watching lots of bad TV, including game shows. So the first time I watch this Deal or No Deal, I’m thinking: this is about as exciting as watching someone open suitcases for an hour. By the second time, the show had me totally hooked. It was the most aggravatingly suspenseful hour of television. It’s either the dumbest game show in TV history or a bloody brilliant piece of pop cultural minimalism. Either way, I’m never watching that fucking show again.
Game shows, plus Lawrence Welk were the ONLY shows my grandmother ever watched on TV. Can’t stand them, myself, but they have the fucking Game Channel on Cable! How insidious.
“…about as exciting as watching someone open suitcases for an hour.”
Lol. That’s the funniest description I’ve heard in a while. What a way to put it.
Would you like to come over and watch Deal or No Deal tomorrow night? 😉
