Gordon: Sure they
can. They can be highly combustible.
Jason: Ouch.
Chico: Well, it's the end of the season, and you know what that
means. It's time to look into the future...with either enjoyment or anger...
Gordon: (brings the crystal plunger over to Chico).
Jason: Crystal?
Chico: Thank you, Gordon.
Gordon: I couldn't find a crystal ball, so I figured this would do.
Chico: It'll do. For whenever you see a show that you think the
world will be better off seeing... You will push! And whenever you see a show
that you'd rather avoid like the plague... you will flush!
Jason: Got it.
Chico: So is everyone ready?!
Jason: Yes.
Gordon: yes
Chico: We're starting with Tuesday and...

THE CONTENDER
ESPN
Tuesdays at 10p ET |
PUSH |
Jason: Well, I don't know why this
is still on the air...mild flush
Chico: Well, standards are already low because it was moved to
basic cable, but they're putting on the whole fight on the Deuce. That has to be
worth something. PUSH.
Gordon: Its on the air because ESPN needs winter programming until
college basketball season starts. The added coverage on the deuce should bode
well. Push.
Chico: 2-1 Push for the Contender.
Gordon: I don't believe I just did that :P
Chico: I don't either. But it makes sense.
Gordon: It does.
Chico: Next up, the next day...

TEMPTATION: THE NEW SALE OF THE CENTURY
syndication/MyNetwork TV
Check local listings |
PUSH |
Chico: Rossi Moreale... if you mess
this up, you will hear from me. Push... with caution.
Jason: Push with Caution as well. It looks hot.
Gordon: I'm sorry. I cant say the Emperor looks good when I think he's
naked. The Fame Game does not play the same, and Wipeout concerns me. I
don't see how it gets the ratings if it does not stay true to the format. Flush.
Chico: All we can do is hope at this point.
Gordon: I severely hope I'm wrong, but...
Chico: Yeah.
Jason: I know.
Chico: Next up...

ARE YOU SMARTER THAN A 5TH GRADER?
Fox
Thursdays at 8p ET |
PUSH |
Gordon: I'll push the show until November
weeps, when we see celebrities. The second Kellie Pickler plays, there will be a
shark fin appearing in the toilet bowl. Push until November.
Chico: ... yeah, what Gordon said... Me too. Push.
Jason: I hate hate hate the show....but I am going to push it
because the show is good family entertainment. PUSH
Chico: Royal push. *small case cue* Right afterwards...

DON'T FORGET THE LYRICS!
Fox
Thursdays at 9p ET |
FLUSH |
Chico: I think this is when we see
the wheels come off. FLUSH.
Jason: The worse of the two singing shows...FLUSH
Gordon: Thursday. 9pm. Against CSI. Against Gray's Anatomy. Buh-bye.
Flush. And that would be a Plunge.
Jason: ONE.
Gordon: Two...
Chico: THREE!
All: PLUNGEEEEEEE!
(Toilet flushing sound)
Chico: Ah, I love the smell of suck in the morning. Next up...

FAMILY FEUD
syndication
Premieres September 10 |
PUSH |
Jason: How can you not push John O's
2nd season. He saved the show. PUSH
Chico: John O'Hurley was the answer to many a prayer last year.
This year, he keeps it up. PUSH.
Gordon: He can only get better. He has to, because they barely got the
renewal. Push
Chico: *Small case cue* Next...

JEOPARDY!

MERV GRIFFIN'S CROSSWORDS
syndication
Premieres September 10 |
PUSH |
Jason: I think this one is going to
be on for a long time. I have a good feeling about this. MAJOR PUSH
Chico: This was Merv Griffin's last gift to the world. It can't
fail... PUSH.
Gordon: Sorry. I'm concerned about this show too. If they have to move it
away from the big boys, that should tell you something. VERY cautious push.
Chico: I think it's a smart move. Get people to watch. Besides..
could be worse... remember when Jeopardy! had a 1:30a slot?
Jason: I do.
Gordon: I do too. Hopefully, it will grow. Next one?
Chico: Next one...

WHEEL OF FORTUNE
syndication
Premieres September 10 |
PUSH |
Chico: You do not flush a show that
is celebrating its 25th year in syndication. PUSH.
Jason: Not only I am going to push this, this is a big year. 25
will be huge for Harry and Co. PUSH
Gordon: I like the Mystery Wedge idea as well. PUSH
Chico: *small case cue* Next..

WHO WANTS TO BE A MILLIONAIRE?
syndication
Premieres September 10 |
PUSH |
Jason: Coming off it's biggest year
ever....PUSH. But the big story will be who, if any replaces Meredith in
2008-2009. That could be a major story later on.
Chico: As long as it stays true to the game, we'll stay true to it.
PUSH.
Gordon: I don't see any changes. Push
Chico: Stay tuned, folks. We're going to be all over this. *small
case* Next..

THE BIGGEST LOSER
NBC
Premieres September 11 |
PUSH |
Gordon: Tuesday nights are not as
ultracompetitive as they have been in the past. NBC will benefit from that.
Push.
Jason: It's one of the best reality shows out there...getting back
to it's roots. MILD PUSH.
Chico: I agree with Jason. It's getting back to what made the show
so great in the first place.. Gumption and will. Push that bad boy. *small case
cue* Later that night...

THAT'S THE QUESTION
GSN
Premieres September 11 |
PASTRY |
Jason: Unfortunately, I am going to
flush this one...because of the errors in season 1...not acceptable...even on
GSN. FLUSH.
Chico: I told Gordon this before... but season 2 is how season 1
should've wound up like. Not a recycled set with recycled writers. I'm going to
PASTRY on this one.
Gordon: It looks better than Season 1. I don't like the idea of this
show. I'm only pushing it because it will be better than the 8,000th viewing of
Dog Eat Dog. Barely. PASTRY Push
Chico: I can only stand so much Brooke. Wait until we get to the
second season To Tell The Truth... I'm going to have a fricking coronary.
Gordon: Next?
Chico: One more until next week... Hold on. It's become tradition
that I do this... *riot gear on*

DEAL OR NO DEAL
NBC
Premieres September 17 |
PUSH |
Chico: I'm actually going to PASTRY
and I'll tell you why. Six million dollar cases. Why don't you just GIVE me the
money!
Jason: I'll give you one better. I am FLUSHING this. Too much
stunts and not enough real people playing for real money.
Gordon: I agree with...Chico. Push...but barely. Too many gimmicks will
sink this show. Is that it for this session, Chico?
Chico: That's it for now. Be back with more pushing and flushing
when sweet sixteen begins next week. Meanwhile, we've got one more break, and
then the big finish. See you soon!

Chico: Nummy!
Jason: Yum-o.
Chico: Well... here we are again... for the 15th time... Another
season takes its place in antiquity. We'll be back next week with a new one, but
first... we can't leave... without...
Gordon: Big Finish Time!
Chico: Bingo! Big Brother: Is Jameka really and truly doomed?
Jason: Yup.
Gordon: If they are smart, she is. Ken Vs. Ogi - who wins?
Chico: My heart wants to go with Ogi. Ken is not invulnerable.
Gordon: Rap Superstar - is Efren doomed?
Chico: Yep.
Jason: Yes.
Chico: 5th Grader or Big Brother...which are you watching on
Thursday?
Jason: Neither.
Gordon: 5th Grader, but taping Big Brother.
Chico: Watching 5th Grader, record BB.
Gordon: Same. For the last time this season., its time to answer mail. Do
you have any?
Chico: No. You?
Gordon: I have email from Bobby McBride. Thanks Bobby!
To: WLTI
From: Bobby McBride
I think I now know how people
are supposed to be playing for the big money on Power of 10. On the $1,000
and $10,000 questions, the players should rely on the audience. But starting
with the $100,000 question and thereafter, the players should go out on
their own instincts. Do you think the players' over-reliance on the audience
is what is causing these frequent losses on the $100,000 questions?
|
Gordon: Thanks for the e-mail, Bobby.
Actually, if you have seen this week's episodes, if the contestants went with
the audience, they would have won the $100,000.
Jason: But remember...the audience is NY...the poll is NATIONAL.
Chico: It's a good guide, but nothing is a substitute for your best
instincts, thinking how the WHOLE of America thinks.
Gordon: It really depends on what audience you get in there. During Jamie
Sadler's run, the audience was right on the money on every question. If Amber
listened to the audience, se would have won $100,000. Then again, if Amber just
listened, she wouldn't currently be in the Big Brother sequester house.
Chico: Amber has a problem with listening, doesn't she?
Gordon: I think she does.
Chico: Good thing we don't. If you have something you want to say,
we'll listen to every single word. Just drop us a line at
wlti@gameshownewsnet.com or our
Myspace at myspace.com/wltiongsnn.
Gordon: And on that note, we end season 15. A special thanks to Jason
Block for joining us.
Jason: Thank you. Thanks to all the fans out there. Without you
guys, we would haven't have the voice.
Chico: Gordon, thanks again for putting up with my retarded work
schedule.
Gordon: Chico, thanks for putting uo with my bowling schedule
Chico: Awww....Barf.
Gordon: Heh. For Chico and everyone at GSNN, this is Gordon, telling
everyone Game Over and Spread the Love
