Jason: Ah! Scary!
Chico: Quoting Jason Hernandez... "Damn groundhog saw its shadow."
Gordon: And FOX added more episodes on The Moment of Truth. Coincidence? We
think not.
Chico: Welcome back.
Gordon: I would like to point out that I was the ONLY person to Push The
Moment of Truth, by the way.
Chico: Because you're twisted.
Gordon: Yes I am. Yay!
Chico: And you know how the Fox system works.
Gordon: I like the show. and 18 million people agree with me.
Jason: Because 18 million people are as twisted as you.
Gordon: Yay!
Chico: I still say watch what happens when Idol is thrown out of the
competitive mix.
Gordon: The numbers will definitely drop, but they only need 10 million on a
Wednesday at 8pm slot that no longer has Lost and only has Deal Or No Deal to
compete against. A much less daunting task. And don't forget, it will still
lead-in to American Idol.
Chico: "How many MDCs are we up against?" "10." "..... bring it on."
Gordon: Well, 10 on Monday. Maybe 24 by March
Chico: Okay. Now to business. Hopefully this is the last chapter of Push or
Flush: the Strike Years that we do.
Jason: Push or Flush 6: Return of the Plunger.,
Chico: I call Skywalker. Gordon can be Han Solo, and Jason can be his Wookiee.
Gordon: This probably will NOT be the last chapter. Even if a deal is reached
this week (which is what rumors are saying), they still can't just pop out
new episodes.
Jason: That's true.
Chico: No, but at least we can finally put a halt to all these inane
reality ideas. What's next, who wants to marry my conjoined twin?
Gordon: There will be a few month lax period - plus the fact that you're not
going to put out your big episodes during the Summer.
Chico: But let's just say we may go over the hump soon. And then it's gravy from
there. Meanwhile, we have shows to Push or Flush. Ready?
Jason: Ready
Gordon: We can only hope. By the way, I brought all of you guys scrapers for
the bottom of the barrel, in case we have to use them today (passes out
scrapers)
Chico: Thanks. I need something to get the ice off my car. Starting off with...

Randy Jackson Presents: AMERICA'S BEST DANCE CREW
MTV
Thursdays 10p ET |
PUSH |
Chico: You know the new movie "How She Move"? It's kinda like that.
Jason: Didn't work for Dance War...won't work here. FLUSH.
Chico: I'm going to pastry this, if only for the fact that it's on MTV, and
anything there will capture the eyes of foolish youths who see Randy
Jackson's name on it.
Gordon: I saw the show on MTV this week. It was surprisingly good. For the
most part, the crews are tight. THIS is what we should be watching instead of
Dance Wars. A surprising Push.
Chico: So we push the Randy Jackson joint
Jason: Yup.
Chico: Very good.
Gordon: It's a good show. Check it out.
Chico: Next... more dancing... but not on MTV.

AMERICA'S BALLROOM CHALLENGE
PBS
February 14 |
PUSH |
Chico: It's Dancing with the Stars... if it were on PBS and stars weren't
involved.
Jason: I LOVE me the shows on PBS. These Ballroom shows rocked my world
before DWTS was a twinkle in the BBC's eye. MAJOR PUSH.
Gordon: If you are a Dancing With the Stars Fan, this is required viewing.
The Dance Pros you see on DWTS are competing here - and they are 10 times better
here. Major Push.
Chico: You have to watch this. Dancing with the Stars is only just so pure. This
is the real nitty gritty. Big Push. Three pushes... *fanfare* Seems like we're
on a clip here.
Gordon: Keep it going.
Chico: Gladly.

YOUR MAMA DON'T DANCE
Lifetime
February 29 |
FLUSH |
Chico: Ian Ziering hosts a dance competition where pros pair up with... their
parents.
Jason: Happy feeling gone. Jiggle (the opposite of a pastry)
Chico: Interesting little wrinkle. Targets the female audience. This
could be a winner. Push.
Gordon: According to the story, the contestants auditioned, not realizing that
their moms would be involved. I HATE shows that do a surprise twist like that.
Flush on principle.
Chico: You didn't think much of Average Joe, then, did you? =p
Gordon: No. No I didn't.
Chico: Just checking. 2-1 Flush, then.
Gordon: By the way, how did those Joes do on the show?
Chico: 1 for 4. And as for lasting relationships... 0 for 4.
Gordon: Thank you.
Jason: Love on TV...usually doesn't work.
Chico: I don't know where you would find real love... but TV ain't
it. Next up... Should say right now... we're done with dancing. Now to hot moms.
Jason: Yay.

AMERICA'S FAVORITE MOM
NBC
May 11 |
FLUSH |
Chico: Children and adults nominate their moms online.
Gordon: AwwwwwBlech. Flush
Jason: What Gordon said...FLUSH.
Chico: What it amounts to is a popularity contest. I'll tell you right now, I
don't really care much about "America's favorite mom". I know MY favorite mom is
the one I have... and on that principle alone, I must give it.. the coveted Joe
Van Ginkel DRANO
Jason: ONE...TWO....THREE....
Everyone: PLUNGE!
Gordon: Weeeeeeeee
Jason: (sprays)
Chico: And may god rest my mother's soul, BTW. Next...

Chico: I'm with Gordon on this one.
Jason: Do I even have to make it unanimous?
Gordon: All-American Girl wasn't bad enough for you guys?
Jason: ONE...TWO...THREE....
Everyone: PLUNGE!

BINGO AMERICA
GSN
March 31 |
FLUSH |
Chico: It's bingo... combined with trivia... on GSN. I think they can make this
work. Not sure what the response will be, but I think this can work. Pastry.
Jason: You know...this one I am going to PASTRY...because you have
interactivity people like...and this is GSN.
Chico: Exactly. Not quite sold on Patrick Duffy, though.
Gordon: Ok. I know we all want a hit for GSN. We all need a hit for GSN. We're
all psychically willing to conjure up a hit for GSN.
Chico: The last time we did this, we got Without Prejudice, and
people didn't like it.
Jason: Which is sad.
Chico: Very. C'mon Bingo America...
Gordon: BUT I am NOT going to say it will hit just because I hope it will.
Bingo on TV doesn't work. This is not a good concept, and this will tank. Sorry.
Flush.
Chico: Guess we'll see.
Gordon: You all did this for How Much is Enough? You've done this for Crosswords
and Temptation. I'm ALSO talking to YOU, the network executives.
Chico: Hey, Crosswords did get renewed.
Gordon: Crosswords got renewed and for a reward we got someone who won -$250
this week.
Jason: Ok...I have the glass half full :)
Chico: Same here.
Gordon: It's only half full because some executive took a whiz in it before
leaving to watch the Superbowl.
Jason: Ewwwwwwwwwww
Chico: And finally...

THAT'S AMORE
GSN
March 2 |
PUSH |
Chico: If "A Shot of Love" was "Flavor of Love"... then this is "I Love New
York."
Jason: If Tila Worked....this will....PUSH. Not because I like it...but the
young kids will.
Gordon: Domenic is not Tila. When a media ho hits your eye like a bad
programmer's pie, That's A plunger. Flush.
Chico: I'm going to push as well... but I'm going to feel dirty
about it.
Jason: Hey I feel dirty too.
Gordon: You should after working on that toilet
Jason: But I know what works.
Chico: Because kids will watch anything on MTV. Okay. Gordon... Kill the toilet.
Gordon: I can't yet. We may need it next week :P
Chico: Okay.
Jason: (puts away sledgehammer) You know I am going to use it
Chico: So next week. We either use the toilet or we kill it on the top of the
show. What will we do? You'll have to stay tuned, friends. Meanwhile, we invite you to stay tuned for the Big Finish.
(Brought to you by Win Beadle's Funny... because Jeremy Beadle has a lot of
funny to win. We miss you, dude...)
Jason: another one huh? (bows head)
Chico: Yep. (removes hat)
(silence)
Gordon: Thank you. And with that, we move on to..The Big Finish!
Gordon: Will we see a Million Dollar winner this week on DOND?
Chico: Yes*. If only because it's sweeps week.
Jason: No*
Gordon: No*
Chico: Programming notes....This week.. Paradise Hotel 2. Watching?
Jason: No.
Gordon: I have to because its my job
Chico: Good answer.
Gordon: Idol - will Atlanta be Hotlanta?
Chico: Yes.
Jason: Yup.
Gordon: I'll go with the majority.
Chico: Thursday at 8p. Survivor. Deal. 5th Grader. Which are you
watching?
Jason: Survivor. Fans v. Favorites looks like the recharge the Apprentice was.
Chico: I'll watch Survivor live...Record Deal on another TV...Then record 5th
Grader on MY TV.
Gordon: I'll watch Survivor live, tape 5th grader and then find out from Chico
what I missed on Deal.
Chico: I gotcha, man.
Gordon: But you got any mail?
Chico: Sure do. This is from Christopher Reynolds. Thanks, Christopher!
TO: WLTI
FROM: Christopher Reynolds
Guys, now that Crosswords has a champion with zero winnings, that should be the
episode the producers are forced to watch on a continuous loop in a room until
they come out with show improvements. Can you help them out with a Big Board of
suggestions?
|
Gordon: We did a Big Board on the show earlier on this episode, so now, I'll
just give a quick list. 1. Increase the money tree. 2. Make the questions more
audience-friendly. 3. Make the Spoilers have to do more and decrease the number
of them. 4. Returning champions
Chico: If I can add...
Gordon: Please do
Chico: 5) Flat bonus for winning the game. Or at least make the questions in the
mad minute and a half worth something if they can't finish.
Jason: No trip just cash.
Chico: Like $100 or $250 a clue or something.
Gordon: Something so that its not all or nothing in the bonus round.
Chico: Yeah.
Gordon: And you did try that before in Jeff Suchard's episode.
Chico: Thanks for the letter, Christopher!
Gordon: This is the most amount of time we have ever spent on a show that
doesn't even clear a 1 in the ratings.
Chico: True. So if you want us to spend even more time on this show, if you have
any suggestions OR if you just want to write and say "What up?" (we LOVE it when
people write just to say "what up?")... Gordon, where can they send their bits
to?
Gordon: send it to wlti@gameshownewsnet.com or check us out on wltiongsnn at
myspace.com. For Jason and Chico, This is Gordon saying Game Over, Spread the
Love, and Go Giants!
Jason: Go Big Blue!
Chico: He means Go Patriots. Sorry, kids.
Jason: No I don't.
Chico: Yes you do.
Jason: 18-1*
Chico: This is for history, dawg.
Gordon: Children, do I have to get Warden McDonald back here?
Chico: ... we'll be good.
Jason: Yes sir.
Chico: See you after the game :-)
