Chico: Eric Idle singing the theme song?
Gordon: I would think so. he should do it. Do you think he will?
Chico: I think he will. He's got a very robust voice. But you have more than that, I'm guessing.
Gordon: I do. Welcome to Should and Will. I give you scenarios. you tell me what should happen = and what will happen. Starting with...

Gladiators. Monday Night. How will it do?

Chico: Should: Do well. Will: Do well... if only for the fact that there's nothing else on. Except for Dance War... Oops. I'll say it right now. American Gladiators is either going to be a big help for NBC... or a big disaster.
Gordon: No Fence sitting allowed
Chico: This is just opinion here. Not official. The should/will is official. It's not going to be "middling". People are either going to watch in droves or turn away in droves. But it's great alternative programming to ABC's dance-o-rama. So should/will: do well.
Gordon: Should: Do well, because there's nothing on. Will: Do well, because Dance Wars is turning into a must dance, sing, 'Triple Threat' sort of show. Remember the last show that was looking for a Triple Threat?
Chico: Yeah. Grease. That went over like a lead balloon.
Gordon: Grease. Fame.
Chico: Ick.
Gordon: Next one...
Chico: Next.

Jeopardy's Alex Trebek suffered a minor heart attack. He's expected to get back into his Jeopardy duties within the next month. Will he?

Chico: Should/Will... Of course. He's very resilient. Should be easy on himself, though.
Gordon: Should: Within the month. Will: Probably before then, but I'm wondering if he is looking to retire sooner rather than later.
Chico: Heart attacks, if treated promptly, can be easily remedied... but yeah, perhaps Alex is finally starting to feel his age. But like Bob Barker before him... It's really on him.
Gordon: True. Next one...

Next week's Duel, literally: Duel Vs. Clash of the Choirs. Who wins?

Chico: Should: Duel. Will: Clash.
Gordon: Agreed. Clash has the choirs, which is cool. In addition, the idea of Duel's promotion of caricatures instead of the smarts of the players has me feeling a littlie wary of the show.
Chico: Agreed.
Gordon: Why should I care about the Cab Driver Vs. the Alligator Wrestler?
Chico: I really want to root for Duel, but this set up is making it hard for me.
Gordon: How to take a cool concept and start marginalizing it.
Chico: ABC wrote the book on marginalizing quiz shows.
Gordon: Next one...

America's Most Smartest Model. Who wins?

Chico: Should: Andre (did I just say that?). Will: VJ.
Gordon: I agree? Should: Andre. If anything, he's has had the longest odds against him. Unfortunately, I think VJ has the edge and will win it. Ugh.
Chico: Should've given it to Pickel.
Gordon: Next one...

The Strike. When is it ending?

Chico: Should: Soon. Will: NEVER. Heh.
Gordon: Should: February, right before sweeps. Will: Probably closer to June, when the contracts end for the other two major guilds.
Chico: About right, yeah. Maybe I was a bit.. alarmist... But come on... America needs writers!
Gordon: They do indeed. Last one...

New shows, in general. How will that affect the ratings?

Chico: Should: nothing spectacular. Will: ... nothing spectacular. These are just placeholders for when the scripted stuff returns... if ever. But be warned. If one breaks, then get ready to be hit hard.
Gordon: I think that if they become hits, then the networks will be concerned. Should: Nice-sized hits. Will - decent sized hits...during the Summer season, as the shows will be moved once the strike is over.
Chico: Agreed. That said, we should take a break. We WILL be back with the Big Finish.

(Brought to you by Paradise Motel. It's not as luxurious as the title suggests as players compete for change to enter the forbidden snack machine.)

Chico: It's trashtastic.
Gordon: Yummy. I'll take the room next to the room with the big crane.
Chico: Okay, not a lot of time left, so let's go right into the big finish! Survivor: who wins?
Gordon: Amanda wins Survivor.
Chico: I think Courtney might win it. Pull off the spoiler win.
Gordon: I can see her getting a few votes, but I don't think enough. The Strike. Any chance of a settlement before 2008?
Chico: Nope.
Gordon: Agreed.
Chico: Programming notes. We're going to say this one more time... Clash of the Choirs and Duel... 8p. NBC and ABC respectively. Watch and then watch the other.
Gordon: Yep. And then we read...the mail. Do we have any
Chico: Yep
Gordon: What do we got?
Chico: We only have time for one of them, so we'll give the spot to IntelligentFan77:

Gordon: I sort of agree. I am concerned about Duel.
Chico: If nothing other than for the pigeonholing the players into character types.
Gordon: Agreed. Continue the letter?

Gordon: If the Halloween episode showed any indication, we should be in for a treat on the holiday episodes.

Chico: Thanks. I completely forgot about that.
Gordon: Thanks IntelligentFan. We have more email, but due to time, we'll get to it on the next show. What do the viewers here want to do if they want to join that stack of email?
Chico: Visit us on Myspace. Myspace.com/wltiongsnn. Email us: wlti@gameshownewsnet.com. See us on the street... throw us teddy bears.
Gordon: We like Teddy Bears
Chico: And we like you. We'll see you next week. Until then, I'm Chico. He's Gordon. The show is We Love to Interrupt. Game over and spread the love
Gordon: Thats a wrap.
