Bingo!

Let me tell ya folks, the show ain't mak'en it. Concept: Bingo revamped and pumped up with the excitement of the NBA Playoffs. Game play: a really big ball has smaller bingo balls blown around inside it. A player pushes a button which will randomly pull a ball. Play Bingo! Thrill factor 1: There's a pool table with a hot hot hot pool playing professional babe that will cue the balls in as the bingo numbers are called. Using trick shots if necessary. Thrill factor 2: If anyone in the crowd calls bingo, games over. The person in the crowd wins money and player on the stage goes home empty. If a bingo number is drawn in which a pool table ball number cannot be cued in, there are four chances for this to happen until game is over. Thrill factor 3: the announcer is (a) bald, and (b) has an Australian accent. (I guess bald is IN because the other show Deal or No Deal has a bald announcer. Not that I've ever watched it.) There's more to it and I may have some aspects incorrect as I was half watching it and having a conversation with K. on the phone and I didn't really feel inclined to watch it longer than necessary to get its gist.

Bottom line - as with all of the more recent game shows on television, Mighty says it ain't happen'en. Change the channel please. And just what is it with the popularity of these types of shows? I'll never know. And don't even get me started on the whole slew of reality shows. It only makes me wonder where television will sink to next. (maybe I don't want to know)
