Nique, Deal Or No Deal is the gameshow most devoid of entertainment and any reason to tune in more than once on television right now (that I can think of). Just because Howie Mandell has begun to offer 30,000 ACRE MIDWEST RANCHES and TRIPS ON SPACE SHUTTLES for the prize doesn't change the fact that to get the prize someone points at random suitcases for an hour, and once in a while thinks about quitting but never does because, crap, there are TEN ONE MILLION DOLLAR SPACES up there FOR TONIGHT ONLY, except he keeps doing it.
At least throw in a question and answer round (or have they?!)
Like someone else said the amount of shows I watch is far smaller than the shows I don't, I think about 98% of what is on TV is pretty terrible. As my current pick for worst of the litter, I'm torn between Big Brother, because after, what, a dozen seasons, I still don't know what the object of the "game" is, and that show Swingtown which is supposedly about wild '70s orgies and drug use except without any actual nudity or, well, a recognizable plot, and it's on CBS. They do seem to be attempting to make people like it with ad campaigns and NEW NIGHT AND TIMEs, but I think it will soon disappear from the schedule.
Actually since both of those are on CBS, as well as the mediocre, generic, and completely dead FLASHPOINT OMG SO EXCITING, I guess that makes CBS the biggest failure.
