Episode 21.1
June 8

Jason: Ah yeah!
Chico: Admit it...you would.
Gordon: No Power Prizes?
Chico: I'm sure we could work those in there somewhere.
Gordon: What about Tiny's Room or the Fundromat?
Jason: You know...Fun House v. Double Dare is like Yankees/Mets, no?
Chico: Oh yeah.
Gordon: Yes. That would be the Good.
Chico: The bad... both were gone by 1994. The Ugly... Tiny. And that's how we play "The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly". Simple, right?
Jason: Right.
Gordon: Simple. Start us off, sir.
Chico: Will do.

Chico is good, Jason is Bad, Gordon is ugly. Subject: We have the season finale of "Any Dream Will Do" tonight... followed by the season premiere of the show that preceded it.

Chico: The good... It's not "Grease" by any stretch... and it's actually better than the US version.
Jason: The bad...it's RERUNS. Give us some original live programming. Same day simulcast of Britain's Got Talent.
Gordon: The Ugly: The US version of Grease did not last more than a year and a half on Broadway.
Chico: Ew.
Gordon: US version went from August 2007-January 2009.
Chico: That's UGLY. Okay, next?
Gordon: Next one...

Gordon is Good, Chico is bad and Jason is ugly. Subject: The Revival of Pyramid

Gordon: The good. Great word game. If Michael Davies sticks to the script, a million dollar giveaway will be enough to keep the eyeballs and contestant applications flowing.
Chico: The bad... fear that the 2002 version may have set the precedent. I'm all for modernization, but... scaffolds? 6 instead of 7? 20 seconds? Bueller?
Jason: The ugly: Davies record for revivals has been mixed. This probably will have the fans worried.
Gordon: Big Board please?

Gordon: Subject: The 3 sides of Michael Davies. Good Davies: Grand Slam, Millionaire, 2 Minute Drill, World Series of Pop Culture
Jason: Yes.
Gordon: Mediocre Davies: Chain Reaction, Smush, The Newlywed Game, Power of 10
Jason: Right.
Gordon: Bad Davies: Play For A Billion, Studio 7, My Kind of Town
Jason: Yes.
Chico: So Michael Davies is hit and miss.
Gordon: we shall see. Next one?
Chico: Next...

Jason is good, Gordon is bad, and Chico is ugly. Subject.... Bob Barker's tell-all.

Jason: This is a tribute to the fans and Price is Right Loyalists
Gordon: The Bad: This is not nearly going to be a salacious as the public wants - especially because we want most of the steam coming from Barker's experiences and he isn't nearly going to be dumb enough to give us that.
Chico: The ugly... the rebuttal tell-alls.
Gordon: THAT may be the books the dirty game show fans are going to be excited about. Next one...

Jason is good, Chico is bad and Gordon is ugly. Subject: Bravo's The Fashion Show

Jason: The Good: Ratings are improving and Bravo may have found it's Project Runway replacement.
Chico: The bad... One word... RIPOFF.
Gordon: The Ugly: George Malkinow's public undressing of Isaac Mizrahi, which completely wipes out Isaac's credibility as a judge of fashion. The audience agrees: this is the first time the show broke a million viewers. Do you finally have BRAVO, Chico?
Chico: I do. In high-definition, no less. In fact, I believe I'm covering Top Chef Masters this week
Jason: Woot.
Chico: Speaking of...

Chico is good, Gordon is bad, and Jason is ugly. Subject: Top Chef Masters.

Chico: The good: it's the Top Chef format... with the best chefs in the world. What's there NOT to love?
Gordon: The Bad: After watching this season, you wonder if the 'amazing' caliber of food is going to make the audience wonder if that's the best and we could see some ratings decline because of it.
Jason: The Ugly...do we REALLY need to see 24 of the best chefs in the world when we have a lot more amateurs who NEED A BREAK?
Gordon: I do :)
Chico: I'll take the best.
Jason: Hey I was playing Ugly.
Chico: Alrighty. Next?
Gordon: Last one...

Gordon is good, Jason is bad and Chico is ugly. The subject is: Josh Morrow and Daniel Goddard on this week's The Price is Right.

Chico: Josh Morrow & Daniel Goddard were visiting from "next door" to model dumbbells and present Showcases.
Gordon: The Good: Much better than the last time a soap opera interloper showed up...with a towel and fake muscle body suit.
Jason: The bad...but it was a soap opera interloper.
Chico: the ugly... A set of dumbbells... modeling a set of dumbbells. Ba DUM bum.
Gordon: And with that, we break so Chico can get some plungers and a better joke writer.
Chico: What do you think I pay YOU for?
Gordon: ...point taken.

(Brought to you by The Wipeout Employment Motivator Company. You need to motivate your office workers? Then get some of our products, like 'The Motivator' and the 'Hurt-dles'. When a pink slip is just not enough.)

Chico: That hurts. No, literally. That hurts.
Jason: Sounds like my last boss.
Chico: And that's a good thing, right?
Jason: Yeah.
Chico: Figured. And now for something completely different...Hamsters! We need a toilet up in here!

(Hamsters bring out toilet)

Jason: They do that so well.

(Hans comes out with plungers attached to a saddle)

Chico: You know what's expected. First...

SILENT LIBRARY MTV June 15

PASTRY

Chico: Physical comedy for fun... and profit.
Jason: This...just doesn't work for me. Jiggle.
Chico: I'll pastry. I mean, I like crazy until crazy likes me back.
Gordon: I'll be more definitive here. FLUSH. Game shows to torture people without any gameplay doesn't work for me.
Chico: So we end up with... a jiggle.
Gordon: This is as close to Saw: The Game Show as we're going to get.
Chico: But you liked Saw.
Gordon: First two I liked a lot. The next 3 didn't do anything for me.
Chico: Next...

I SURVIVED A JAPANESE GAME SHOW! ABC June 17

PUSH

Chico: Rome and company are back for more crazy.
Jason: PUSH THIS ONE HARD. Rose D' Or winner. Bigger Ratings. Bigger everything.
Chico: I'm with J. Big old push.
Gordon: Hey, lets make the challenges physical, complete with a nothing but physical set of challenges in the finale so we get another guy winning. I don't see what you guys liked on this show to begin with. Flush.
Chico: You'd be in the minority.
Gordon: Let's see what the audience thinks.
Chico: But paired with Wipeout... That's what you call a chain reaction. Next...

BRAINRUSH Cartoon Network June 20

PUSH

Jason: This is going to be fun. PUSH.
Gordon: It's cute. I'll definitely check it out. Pastry.
Chico: I like trivia. I like roller coasters. Let's see how the host does. Push. Meanwhile, we have...

CAN YOU DUET CMT June 20

PUSH

Jason: Combined with The Singing Bee...this will do well. PUSH.
Chico: First of all, thanks to the powers that be for giving Rossi Morreale a format that suits his talent... because Temptation... sucked.... eggs. Push it.
Gordon: It worked the first season. It will work here too - as long as we don't see repeat media ho offenders working in duets like we saw last season. Pastry.
Chico: You mean Idol rejects and the like?
Gordon: Why yes.
Chico: Ah. I'm going to guess... at least three. Next...

DESTROY BUILD DESTROY Cartoon Network June 20

PUSH

Jason: Pastry. Kids blowing stuff up. Fun for the 10 year old in all of us.
Gordon: This is the one I'm looking forward to. With their kiddie 5-35 demographic built in to a show dedicated to destruction, If they execute the show correctly, this has staying power to last a long time. Push.
Chico: I like the destruction, but I'm also a real big fan of Junkyard Wars, so I'm curious as to how the recreation aspect will play out. So yeah... push it. Boom baby. Halfway home. Next up..

AMERICA'S GOT TALENT NBC June 23

PUSH

Gordon: If the auditions are any indication, we'll be seeing youth win this season. Push.
Chico: Let me put it to you this way. The whole deal with Susan Boyle will do nothing but help pub this season. PUSH.
Jason: Can I push this any harder?
Chico: You could, but then you'd break it.
Jason: PUSH
Chico: *WOF new puzzle*
Gordon: Grabbed from the Sound Awards (cough) audience (cough) decision? (cough, cough)
Chico: Dude, grab a Tussin!
Jason: Public choice *cough* my behind *cough cough*
Chico: Both of you!
Jason: Sorry. (Sips tussin)
Chico: That'll cure anything.
Gordon: I prefer Concord grape juice for the throat. And sanity pills for GSN.
Chico: Ha. Next is...

THE SUPERSTARS ABC June 23

PUSH

Chico: Celebs. Sports stars. For the man in all of us. Or something. I'm going to pastry...
Jason: Nostalgia factor in the first viewing. Won't last. Jiggle.
Chico: This could be just the thing ABC needs to stop the rampant feminizing... or it could be crap.
Gordon: Pastry. It has the potential to work. The fact that it's going to be up against America's Got Talent is not a good sign of faith from ABC.
Chico: True. So... Pastry. Next...

DANCE YOUR ASS OFF Oxygen June 29

PASTRY

Chico: If you like dancing and/or the Biggest Loser, this is for you... Me... not so much. Jiggle it.
Gordon: The only ass coming off will be mine off the sofa when I sit up to change the channel. FLUSH.
Jason: I am going to say this is going to be the surprise hit of the summer. Women will love this and the two combinations will work here like Reese's Peanut Butter Cups. PUSH. I know...crazy huh?
Chico: Crazy indeed. So we end up with... a pastry. This is going to go either way.
Gordon: Dance shows featuring civilians. Let's see. How did Dance Machine work for you?
Chico: Not well.
Jason: Hold on...you are adding a 2nd element here. The weight loss.
Gordon: How did Fat March work for you?
Chico: Not well.
Jason: Combine the two and you will get this to work. I am telling you.
Chico: We'll see.
Gordon: I think all the Tussin that he took affected his cognitive abilities. Make sure he doesn't work any heavy machinery tonight.
Jason: Ha Ha...zzzzzzzzz
Chico: Right. Next...

BIG BROTHER CBS July 9

PASTRY

Gordon: It did have a resurgence last summer, but they need the right mix of contestants. Pastry.
Chico: I think if the British version is any indication, we're looking at a downturn. But I've been wrong before, so... Pastry
Jason: Sorry...I agree with Chico on this...JIGGLE.
Gordon: The way it works in the USA is different than the UK. No voting for starters, and the contestants actually have a mute button here.
Chico: Ha. One more for ya...

THE GREAT AMERICAN ROAD TRIP NBC July 9

FLUSH

Jason: This smells like MAKING COP-AYS. FLUSH.
Chico: Stop me if you think that you've heard this one before. FLUSH.
Gordon: I don't think I have. Tell me about it.
Chico: People in a van going across the country in a race.
Gordon: Oh wait! I have heard of it! Treasure Hunters?
Chico: I was actually thinking the Amazing Race Family Edition. With a blue collar comic as host...
Gordon: Here's a sound effect for you (Whammy Sound). FLUSH
Chico: We end this session with a clog. Time to do the deed....
Jason: ONE.
Chico: Two! THREE!
Jason: PLUNGE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Gordon: Weeeeeeeeeeeee
Chico: And the scent of the day... winter pine. Nice.
Jason: In the Summer?
Chico: The contrast, J. Okay, we speed things up for the summer... Right after this.

(Brought to you by the digital world. We. Are. Coming. We. Are. Coming. We. Are. Coming. .... We. Are. HERE.)

Jason: Yes...I want Forza Motorsports 3. Badly.
Chico: But seriously, folks, the DTV deadline is THIS Friday. If you're not ready yet.. get ready.
Jason: My coupons are in the mail.
Gordon: Blackout should only be relegated to a game status - not an accurate description of your TV set.
Chico: If you're hooked up to a subscription service like cable or satellite... you're ready. If you have a newer model HDTV or TV with this symbol on it..

Chico: ...or any variant of it, you're also ready.
Jason: http://www.dtvanswers.gov right?
Chico: Right on. If your TV is older than Jason Block, however...
Gordon: They still have those in existence?
Jason: Hey now!
Chico: You're going to need a low-cost converter box and an antenna. They're available at your local electronics stores. Then... you'll be ready.
Gordon: Yepperz. We're also ready for the Speed Round...now!
Chico: I'm A Celebrity... Is this whole fracas going to translate into ratings?
Jason: No and No
Chico: Not yet.
Gordon: No it's not. It's going to translate to the finale being moved to Saturday nights and the continuation of the end of NBC. So You Think You Can Dance. Top 20 time. Any favorites?
Chico: I like Asuka. Simply because I like saying "Asuka"
Gordon: Asuka is fun. I think Pono (Game show repeat offender) may have an edge here.
Jason: Exactly.
Chico: New shows on GSN. Are you watching?
Gordon: I will because I have to, not because I want to.
Jason: I wont be watching.
Chico: I'm going to give it an honest chance. But expectations... not high. Mail. We have none. But you can fix this... Please do. Send us stuff.
Gordon: Send us mail to wlti@gameshownewsnet.com, or go to Facebook, MySpace or YouTube.
Chico: We'd love to heard from you.
Jason: We do.
Chico: Until next time, Jason,... thank you very much!
Jason: Thank you!
Chico: Next week, we review GSN's two new offerings. Until then for Gordon and everyone at GSNN, I'm Chico.... Game over... and spread the love.
