Episode 16.15
December 24
 Jason: Good stuff.
Gordon: Yes, WGA Writers, we care about you guys, too.
Chico: We're hoping something get hammered out soon. We're sick of reruns.
Welcome back. 2007 is almost over, in case you didn't know, so let's give out
some resolutions that people SHOULD be making. Gordon, you want to start?
Gordon: Let's start with...
Power of 10. On January 2nd, you're the first show out of the gate. What
should they do better?
Chico: Get an audience that doesn't sit on the fence.
Joe: Nothing. The show is fine as it is.
Jason: New Yorkers arent usually fence sitters. Get returning champions.
Gordon: Get contestants that we care about. And a Drew Carey who should be very
comfortable by now. And Returning Champions would be nice.
Jason: Drew should be much better this time around. And a contestant who will go
all the way for the 10 Million
Chico: Resolved: More characters! More Drew! More money! More! More! More!
Jason: And hopefully a promo company that wont short it.
Chico: Okay, next up.
Seems like NBC is going into the "shutdown" the least prepared for a strike.
What should they be doing?
Jason: Trying to settle, like the other networks should. If that doesn't happen,
bring back more game shows. Maybe 21...Identity...
Gordon: Well, NBC also has the least to lose, since their ratings have been El
Sucko this season. I'd say this is the perfect opportunity to take new concepts
and throw them against the wall and see if they stick.
Chico: But for how long?
Gordon: As long as it takes
Jason: I agree with Gordon...throw everything you got out there.
Chico: So resolved: try something new... try ANYTHING new.
Gordon: It can't be worse than Age of Love...can it?
Chico: Oh it can be worse.
Jason: Heck yeah it can.
Gordon: Lets hope not. next one...
Jen and Nathan, The Amazing Race. You've been making it through, but the
meltdowns have been coming at a quick pace. They need some advice on how to hold
it together.
Jason: This is a team effort. Yelling at each other doesn't work.
Joe: STOP WHINING! :-D
Chico: Your union. Your relationship.. it's bigger than the Race. This is a TV
show.
Jason: Thats not love, or even caring.
Chico: Yelling and apologizing. That's now boyfriend and girlfriend.. that's
prent/child.
Jason: if you guys want to make it, let it breathe. You cant yell and apologize
for everything. Seriously guys...you guys are incredibly toxic.
Speaking of Toxic, any advice for Jamie-Lynn Spears?
Chico: Ms. Spears. You blew it.
Joe: May the Spears family take one up the rectum.
Gordon: I think Jen needs to go to the New York School of man-wrangling.
Jason: If Nickelodeon doesn't fire and cancel her show, I will be shocked.
Chico: agreed.
Jason: That whole family is screwed up.
Chico: I think it's something in the water in Kentwood, but that's just me.
Jason: And I hope Billy Ray Cyrus is making sure Miley isnt falling down that
same path.
Gordon: Jen and Nathan need to go to counseling. Jamie Lynn Spears needs to go
get a lobotomy - whatever center her sister went to seems to be the ticket.
Chico: Resolved: remember, you're in a relationship, not a shouting match.. and
don't drink Louisiana water. Next one?
Gordon: Next one...
American Idol. You're in danger of losing relevance with the whole Jordin/Sanjaya
thing. How do we make this better?
Jason: Talent. Real talent. Not characters with some talent. Go back to what
brung you.
Gordon: The producers simply have to do a better job with talent. Vote for the
Worst had a field day last season, and lets face it - they were right on the
money. The Idol producers HAVE to do a better job this year, or they will be in
trouble.
Joe: What about finding whoever runs VoteForTheWorst.com and having him beaten
down? :-D
Jason: lol
Gordon: Take a number. lol.
Chico: We at WLTI don't condone mob rule... unless it gets results.. GET HIM!
Gordon: Now now. No lynching a webmaster.
Chico: Awwww...ok, daddy.
Jason: Seriously though, don't make the show the show...
Chico: Resolved: A little talent goes a long way.
Gordon: A lot of talent goes even further. Next one...
GSN's interactive department. No more Playmania. No more Quiznation. No more
100 Winners. Say hello to...Bingo America? Help!
Chico: Rest the interactive for a bit and concentrate more on original
programming.
Jason: I agree. The interactive thing has run it's course.
Joe: Two words, GSN: Russian. Roulette.
Chico: The time will come when you can pull it again, but don't force it.
Gordon: I'm going to put this in the same category as NBC. You're drawing on
0.3. Stop spending money on repeats. Start producing original content and throw
it up against the wall and see what sticks.
Chico: Resolved: See NBC.
Gordon: Last one?
Chico: And finally...
Rossi and Ty. Surprisingly good hosts... The shows? Not so much.
Gordon: I beg to differ on surprisingly good hosts.
Humor me.
Joe: Ty is a surprisingly good host. Rossi needs to be disemboweled...or at
least have his vocal chords ripped out.
Jason: Ty: a second season. Rossi a good project.
Gordon: I resolve they both go back to get some more experience. The 2 fresh
hosts who I REALLY want to see get a good project are Mike Greenberg and Joey
Fatone. I want to see more of what they can do.
Chico: Resolved: Get help... any which way you can. Okay. There's a break. Come
back or you're part of the problem.
(Brought to you by ADVERB. It's How We Do.)
Gordon: Now just remember to SPELL them correctly...right, Crossword
contestants?
Chico: Heh.
Joe: Sheesh.
Gordon: And we move on...to...The Big Finish!
Chico: Is there ANYTHING going on this week? Answer? Yes. Two-Hour Christmas
Deal on Tuesday.
Jason: Originals on Wheel and J! Coming off the first $100,000 win of the year!
Joe: WHOOOOO $100,000!
Chico: Cora Peck defends for the 4th time.
Joe: Lots of good champions on J! recently.
Chico: Too bad most of them lasted only a day.
Gordon: Original Amazing Race Episodes - starting tonight. Who is eliminated
this week?
Chico: Nathan & Jennifer.
Jason: Got to go with Jen and Nathan
Chico: Can't get their act together.
Jason: Lack. Of. Focus.
Gordon: I'll make it unanimous. They've been teasing this for awhile. Crowned is
also new. Anyone giving it a look-see?
Jason: Nope.
Chico: Sorry.
Gordon: Top Chef 4 just got greenlighted. Anyone going to be watching in the
Spring?
Jason: Heck yes.
Chico: If Bravo comes to Fayetteville, yes.
Jason: Along with NFNS4 I assume.
Gordon: You assume correctly
Chico: That I will check out.
Jason: Great show. Joe, you watching Ultimate Fighter 7? Isn't Rampage Jackson
one of the coaches?
Joe: HE IS?!?!?
Gordon: He is. Quinton Jackson Vs. Forest Griffin
Joe: I don't know when it starts again off hand, but I'll be darned if I don't
watch Rampage vs. Griffin. Awesome.
Jason: It will debut in April 2008
Chico: So Joe, were you at all the Christmas TPIR tapings?
Gordon: We have a decent fan base, And we got a number of letters asking who the
cool dude in the WLTI shirt was. And yes, the cool dude is none other than Joe.
Take a bow, joe.
Jason: (applause)
Joe: I was there for Friday's show, December 21. I was the first person you saw,
and I gave an "I love you" sign to the camera.
Chico: And I gave one back.
Joe: :-D
Chico: That was nice.
Jason: Just saw it on innertube...way cool!
Chico: Okay, I got one more e-mail before we go wait for Santa. It's from our
own Doug Morris. Thanks, Doug!
Joe: Dougie!
Jason: Hey Doug!
TO: WLTI
FROM: Doug Morris
Ya know, if I want to watch ooey-gooey
substances descend on people, I'll watch a rerun of "You Can't Do That On
Television".
|
Joe: :-D
Jason: Oh yeah! I remember that!
TO: WLTI
FROM: Doug Morris
Plus, if this show *really*
needs a female co-hostess, have her stand infront of a deck of cards akin to
Monopoly's "Chance?" or "Community Chest". When someone lands on, say, "Rufa's
Risk" space, go to Rufa and have her draw the top card of the deck -- which
would mean a gain or loss of pesos, an automatic move to the highest dollar
amount on the board, selection ofone prize on the board, a whammy, etc.
Speaking of the board, the less said about the board configurations,
thebetter. The money spaces need more variety (470 and 740, for example)
andthe board needs a consistent square housing the high amounts (a la
the3000/4000/5000 + one spin here in the States). And I couldn't help
butnotice at one point in time "advance 2 spaces" would take you to "go back
2spaces".

Joe: lol
Jason: No kidding!
Chico: Oh, by the way, I've seen clips of this train wreck on GMA's website. In
one clip, a player landed on 2000 pesos worth of -- toilet paper. I kid younot.
Joe: ACK
Jason: No ****
Joe: Bloody heck.
TO: WLTI
FROM: Doug Morris
Change of subject: Thanks to all
of you for your prayers and kind thoughts throughout the year following my
wife's untimely passing. No matter how 2007 is ending for you, may 2008
bring brighter days for all of us.
|
Jason: Amen. We love you, Doug.
Chico: Thanks, Doug.
Gordon: Thanks Doug. The same from us. The the same love goes out there to you
readers. There's no us without you.
Joe: Word.
Chico: That's right.
Jason: Thank you guys again for a fantastic 2007.
Joe: And here's to sensational 2008.
Chico: And let's look forward to 2008... with hope and love.
Jason: And peace and joy.
Chico: Special thanks to Jason and very special surprise guest Joe Van Ginkel.
Sporting the WLTI gear...
Jason: Spreading the WLTI love.
Gordon: Next week is our special Year end 2007 Review. Please don't miss it.
Jason: Looking back on the year that was!
Chico: In the meanwhile, pop us a line at wlti@gameshownewsnet.com or on
Myspace.com/wltiongsnn.
Joe: Don't forget to watch the Yule Log if you can on Christmas Day.
Jason: Yup.
Chico: Well, I'll be watching "A Christmas Story" all day... since I forgot what
channel the Yule Log is on.
Jason: Its local.
Chico: Oh. Never mind then. :-)
Jason: Dont poke your eye out
Joe: Actually...I got it on Superstation WGN, which I suspect may be running it
again.
Joe: And many stations have imitators if worse comes to worse.
Gordon: And if you dont have the Yule Log, Just imagine the contract to a season
2 of On The Lot burning instead.
Joe: ROLFMAO
Jason: lol
Chico: Ow. Burn.
Joe: Literally.
Chico: For Gordon Pepper and everyone at GSNN, I'm Chico Alexander. Have a safe
and happy holiday... and we'll see you next week.
Gordon: Spread ther love!
Joe: GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAME OVEEEEEEEEEEERR!
Chico: *does the love symbol*
