Episode 23.20 - #300!
May 24

Josh: (grumbles something about getting a two-show suspension for his behavior)
Chico: That's one series.
Josh: *comes out of the corner* Ok, I'm...i'm ok.....
Chico: Alright.
Gordon: It's time for Resolutions. Like resolving that Josh goes to Anger Management.
Josh: Already done. My first appointment is tomorrow at 2:30
Chico: RESOLVED: No more hitting people with stuff.
Josh: RESOLVED!
Chico: Let's start with a show we talked about in #201.

Last Comic Standing... We honestly don't remember the winner, so what can we do to make sure the contestants stand out THIS year?

Gordon: ...who's hosting?
Chico: Craig Robinson. Of "The Office"
Josh: Resolution: Have the contestants appear on NBC programming, like Marriage Ref or have them appear as a special guest on a comedy series. Show some support for your winner.
Gordon: Here's an idea. Resolved: To actually get the best and funniest comics, and not the ones that agents want them to put o the air.
Chico: Good job. So RESOLVED: It's a talent show, start with some actual talent.
Josh: Ok
Chico: Next?
Gordon: Next one...

Big Brother. It's going over to Season 11. here. Over in the UK, it's being trumpeted as the last one of the season. Hence...



Josh: Aah! Not again!
Gordon: Call it tough love, Josh.
Josh: *hands Augustus a bowler and bumbershoot and runs*
Gordon: But lets go to the US version. How does it get better?
Chico: How about less T&A and more brains?
Josh: Resolved: More "AfterDark" on Showtime and agreed, a better breed of contestants.
Gordon: Some brains...but enough alcohol so we get to see them nekked.
Chico: RESOLVED: Nekkid brains.
Josh: Lol
Chico: Bring Michele back from season 10. =p Next up...

Deal or No Deal had a blowout season 1. Season 2... ... Not so much. What does 5th Grader have to do to avoid the same fate?

Josh: Stay the course! The format works. Just a fewer celeb weeks.
Gordon: If you have celebrities, make them different ones.
Chico: RESOLVED: Normal game... Normal people.
Gordon: And we mean NORMAL'. Do not do what Season 2 did and bring out the ecclectic nutballs that we all hope fail. Give us people to root for.
Chico: And if I can add another... Make the show last longer than three months.
Josh: Yes. More shows need to be taped. Especially for their distribution plan.
Gordon: I was going to say. Blame distribution for that. Next one...

Wipeout. We haven't talked about the biggest hit of the Summer. How do we make it more than a one hit wonder?

Chico: New obstacles!
Josh: More epic fails. This is one show where you can cast those you know will do horribly and I actually don't mind it.
Chico: More obstacles!
Gordon: We like epic fails. just keep it new and different.
Chico: Keep it all coming, baby, because we love it.
Josh: We love Wipeout. We (heart) Big Balls. We also (heart) people falling off said big balls and other obstacles.
Chico: RESOLVED: More of the same... but different. Next up...

GSN. Seriously, can we help these guys out SOMEHOW?

Josh: More Studio-Based Entertainment and More Classic Games! (No more Wayback Playback)
Gordon: I agree with Josh here. You saw how The Newlywed game did. We need more of that and revivals and less of silly gimmicks with no substance behind it.
Chico: RESOLVED: Stick to what works... basically, stripped shows... Because the weekly stuff... doesn't do it for anybody.
Josh: I would actually like to suggest two shows that GSN bring back as revivals. Tic-Tac-Dough (Just don't hire Wayne or Caldwell) and What's My Line
Chico: I'll agree on Line.
Gordon: What's My Line I do agree with. They should bring Tic Tac Dough back once Lindsay Lohan starts wearing undergarments.
Chico: Gordon, what do you have against TTD?
Gordon: It's slow paced, it's continuous and it spawned Rapping Dragon.
Chico: That was easy. Last one?
Gordon: Last one...

We can't have a 300th episode without Chico's Faaaaaavorite Summer SHow, The Bachelorette. What does it need to do to make Chico happy?

Chico: I can answer that one. It needs to be gone.
Josh: RESOLVED: CANCEL THE BACHELOR FRANCHISE!
Chico: Or if that isn't an option, try and make everything a little LESS extreme, or a little less "shocking". News flash to ABC. When everything's shocking and dramatic.... NOTHING is shocking and/or dramatic
Gordon: I'll say have less 'characters' and more real people. I don't buy the producers when they are 'shocked' that people aren't there for love. If a moron gets into casting, it's your fault.
Chico: Please please PLEASE don't do what you've been doing in past seasons. It's getting on my nerves. RESOLVED: Quit getting on my nerves. They won't, though. Sad face.
Gordon: You know what we need for Episode #300?
Chico: What do we need?
Gordon: The wall. (Gives Chico a helmet).
Josh: Wait.
Gordon: (Tosses a helmet to Josh)
Josh: Yes!
Chico: Okay...
Josh: One
Chico: Two...
Josh: Three!
Chico: THIS... IS.. WALLRUNNING! (runs, does a flip off the wall).
Gordon: Very impressive parkour technique by Chico.
Josh: *Runs to the wall and crashes into it, collapsing*
Gordon: Josh...not so much.
Josh: Ohhhh
Chico: ...I'm okay.
Josh: Someone get me an aspirin. I have to think in a few minutes.
Chico: Speed Round next. Throw it to break.
Gordon: Aaaaand break time.

(Brought to you by Dancing with the Spartans. 'Cause we can't have enough "300" jokes for the 300th episode. This... Is... THE PASO DOBLE!)

Gordon: And now...we dance (Starts Dancing)
Josh: *holds up a 1 paddle*
Chico: *holds up a -3 paddle*
Gordon: Don't be jealous of my boogie.
Chico: Who's JEALOUS? I almost want to call 911 or something. All we need is a lady to be Carrie Ann.
Josh: One of you has a sister, I know.
Chico: Both of us, actually.
Josh: Well get them!
Chico: But the WLTI family reunion comes later. Right now let's play the SPEED ROUND! Okay... who wins DWTS?
Gordon: Nicole.
Josh: Evan, with Nicole a close second
Chico: Nicole.
Gordon: Idol. Who wins?
Josh: Your guess is as good as mine.
Chico: I'm going to go with Lee. But it's going to be close.
Gordon: I'll say Crystal, but I agree. It will be very close.
Chico: I could've been safe and said "the dirty hippie guitar rocker", but like that whittles it down.
Gordon: Someone with an acoustic guitar will win.
Chico: The winner will have an acoustic guitar.
Gordon: Celebrity Apprentice: Bret wins, right?
Chico: Right.
Josh: Right.
Gordon: Right. Last week of Deal or No Deal. Anyone win the $500,000?
Josh: Nope.
Chico: No.
Josh: They can't give it away in the states unless there's at least 5 other cases with a half-million in it.
Chico: Sad.
Gordon: I agree. Last week of May Sweeps. Will we be talking about any special stunts next week?
Josh: Maybe on TPIR, but not really.
Gordon: No Memorial Day specials. I don't think. Do we have any special emails?
Chico: We have one from... STATBOY!

Josh: I'd say 96%
Chico: I'm going to say pretty good. He's young. He's hungry. He led Dook to the wire. 97%.
Gordon: 0% He's going to be moving to the pros or to the big leagues.
Chico: Didn't even think of that way. Thanks for writing, Jason. And anything from you, G?
Gordon: That's all I got.
Chico: In that case, we're closing up the mailbag. You can open it back up at wlti@gameshownewsnet.com, or find us on the Facebook or the MySpace or what have you.
Gordon: Sounds good. Thanks to Agent Josh for joining us today. And a special thanks to you fans who are reading this. We can't do this without you.
Chico: Okay, G. Before we leave, what are you watching this week OTHER than the Idol finale?
Gordon: I'm watching The Bachelorette so I can torture you with it :)
Chico: I betcha you will. I'm watching the series finale *sad tear* of 24. And finally... A big thank you to all of you who're reading this... You make this happen. I keep saying it because, well, it's true. This is all about you guys out there.
Gordon: It is. We are nothing without you.
Josh: Hey, Gordo, Chico, as a long time reader of WLTI, thanks for all that you do. You guys make the game show world easy to understand, and you two are also very funny.
Gordon: We try :)
Chico: Yup.
Josh: And it was an honor and a pleasure as always.
Chico: The honor is ours. Okay, let's call it a night.
Gordon: Next week: The season finale. We have winners and losers and brooms.
Chico: Be here. For Gordon and everyone at GSNN, I'm Chico Alexander. Game over and spread the love.
