September 11, 2006

Jason: Damn you stingray.
Chico: We sure will...

(silence)

Gordon: Thank you. This week will sort of suck, with all these deaths and memorials. We hope we can bring a smile to your face.
Chico: That's our gig here, as simply a diversion from the normal... because let's face it. We're not normal. And that's why we love what we do.. because we're not normal.
Gordon: Yay, not normal!
Chico: And we love that we are not normal... for you!
Gordon: Before we turn into Text2win Shills, lets start Push...or Flush!
Jason: Part 2
Chico: Anyone remember the last show we did last time?
Gordon: Yah
Jason: Remind me.
Gordon: Well, almost all of the shows were the happy friendly kind like the syndies that we all knew were getting pushed.
Jason: Ok.
Chico: And now we continue our list down with this...
Gordon: We are joined by the enigmatic and sleepy Aaron Huertas. Good morning
Aaron: All the way from the depths of Brooklyn, it's Plinkoboy!
Chico: Just in time for the big list here. And during the break, the big list got bigger. Let's start out with...

DANCING WITH THE STARS ABC Premieres September 12

PUSH

... Dancing with the Stars. Are we ready to cut a rug with stars for the third time?
Jason: Big PUSH.
Chico: Totally. Big push.
Gordon: The cast looks better than ever. This should be fun. Push.
Aaron: It's a much better cast. I'll Push it.
Chico: Four and out, big push (small case cue)
Aaron: I'll watch it just for the fact that it has a better cast. The last 2 seasons...blech.
Jason: Hey Stacy Keibler and George Hamilton are doing commercials together now :-)
Chico: I don't know... I can't deny Stacy Kiebler. Then again, I still have the mojo of a 14 year old.
Gordon: I think Jerry Springer Vs. Sara Evans in the finals (should it get to that) would be fascinating
Jason: Which it won't :-)
Chico: It’s not going to be "red states vs. blue states" no matter what anyone says. Next...

SURVIVOR: COOK ISLANDS CBS Premieres September 14

DRAW

Chico: Are you buying the hype?
Gordon: I am and I am dying to see it. Push
Jason: I am not. FLUSH
Aaron: I am not. Those sort of shows do not intrigue me. Flush.
Jason: This is a publicity stunt for a dying show.
Chico: I think it's going to be all hype. But still, the game's good enough to stand on its own. Hence and therefore, I'm going to give a quality PUSH.
Gordon: I think it's more smoke than fire, and I think there will be a great show from it.
Chico: Draw on the Survivor.
Gordon: There’s your William Hung Jury
Chico: Now we dance. =p. But first, next up...

ULTIMATE BLACKJACK TOUR CBS Premieres September 16

FLUSH

... September 16 sees the Ultimate Blackjack Tour on CBS. Will legal problems hamper this Saturday afternoon staple?
Jason: Sorry too many good card shows out there. FLUSH.
Aaron: I can't stand Black Jack. Flush.
Chico: GSN beat you to it. It's a Flush from me.
Gordon: I for one do not find Black Jack entertaining. HOWEVER, it will get an audience, and it will be a hit, whether we like it or not. Push.
Chico: I don't think so, especially if it gets preempted in some markets.
Gordon: But you aren't looking for a huge hit. They are looking for a companion show that will get good ratings that will attract a similar audience, and this will be it.
Chico: But nevertheless, 3-1 flush. Still, good luck with that, CBS.
Jason: True.
Chico: Back on CBS, as we go to Sunday nights and The Amazing Race 10.

THE AMAZING RACE CBS Premieres September 17

PUSH

Chico: Are we back to same-old-same-old? Or are we still struggling to wash AR Family out of out mouths? I say four Emmys speak volumes. PUSH.
Jason: Make it Five Emmys PUSH.
Gordon: I want to see the show - and it needs all the support it can get. Push.
Aaron: I like the show. Push.
Chico: Anyway, we've got a sweep! (small case cue) Next up...  The most thrilling question on television is back for a second season.... "Deal.... or no deal?"

DEAL OR NO DEAL NBC Premieres September 18

PUSH

Chico: DEAL! Err... PUSH!
Jason: Pastry Push for me.
Chico: It's the Thursday showing, isn't it?
Jason: Yep. Dumb. Dumb. Dumb. Monday/Friday would be awesome.
Chico: It'll prolly come to that.
Aaron: Keep the show, but get rid of Howie. I'd push it.
Gordon: It's a good show. Push it, but I am concerned that they don't run it under the ground
Chico: As am I. I'm hoping they won't. Come on, Scott... don't let me down. We've got a four-way. And appropriately.... (Small case cue) Next, The Price is Right notches a record-breaking 35th year.

THE PRICE IS RIGHT CBS Premieres September 18

PUSH

Chico: The Silver Fox becomes TV's iron man... Push!
Jason: Do you even have to ask? PUSH
Aaron: Of course I will watch it, because I'm going to be on it! Push!
Jason: LOL
Chico: Of course, we have a vested interest as one of ours becomes an Ineligible.
Gordon: It's a great show. You have to watch it. Blah blah blah. Push
Chico: Of course (Small case cue). Next, another good show you have to watch blah blah blah... America's Next Top Model.

AMERICA'S NEXT TOP MODEL The CW Premieres September 20

PUSH

Jason: This is CW's Flagship...and even if I hate it...it's huge. PUSH.
Chico: Furnishing America with at least two presenters since 2003.
Aaron: I'd watch it. I love the models catfight over each other. Push.
Chico: I'm going to push as well, because, hey... women... hello?
Jason: And Tyra Banks.
Chico: That and this being the CW's flagship. The main ingredient. Tyra's a great host, and a great product needs a great host.
Jason: ok
Gordon: Tyra is great for the show, and based on last cycle's rotation of judges, it doesn't matter who the judge is as long as Tyra is helming. Push.
Jason: (small case cue)
Chico:  Next is the Biggest Loser.

THE BIGGEST LOSER NBC Premieres September 20

DRAW

Chico: Now I think the 50 contestants from 50 states screams desperation stunt. Flush. You know better than that, NBC
Jason: No...I think it screams fun. PUSH.
Aaron: Like fat, going down the drain, a Big Flush down the toilet for me. FLUSH
Chico: Thank you, Aaron.
Gordon: I think that the show itself is fun. I think it will have problems on where it is, time-slot wise, but I'm intrigued by the premise. Push.
Chico: So we have a 2-2 draw.. Again.
Gordon: Weeee...are the Champioonnnnsss, My friiiieeeennndddd...
Jason: Thank you, William Hung.
Chico: Next...

THE BACHELOR: ROME ABC Premieres October 2

FLUSH

Gordon: Something tells me that I don't think we have to worry about a draw here...
Jason: Water Cannon FLUSH
Chico: A prince... of selling grooming products for cats... do I have to describe it further? FLUSH!
Aaron: I agree with Jason. Terrible, disgusting show. Flush.
Gordon: Meow. Maybe we'll see him at Catminster?
Chico: I wouldn't be surprised.
Gordon: If you’re selling grooming products to cats, you may need a plunger for the hair balls...Flush.
Chico: 4-0 Flush. We got a clog, help me count... ONE! TWO! THREE!
Everyone: PLUNGE!!!!!!!!
Gordon: Weee!
Chico: Next up, GSN's newest quizzer, "That's the Question".

THAT'S THE QUESTION GSN Premieres October 2

PUSH

Jason: Heard good things...waiting on seeing it. Fluffy Pastry Push
Chico: Super Fluffy Pastry cream-filled push.
Aaron: I'm not going to watch something I haven't heard anything good about. Flush.
Chico: It's going down. But I did hear some good stuff. Now I'm waiting to see if GSN will deliver. Good luck with that.
Gordon: I like the idea of the show. I think the show will be good to see. I can only hope...Push.
Chico: 3-1 Push. Because given the show and the alternative... the show just sucks a little less than the alternative. But seriously, GSN is showing promise in the making. Maybe they can keep their flow going here. Two more games here. First one: the long-awaited season premiere of Endurance 5 on Discovery Kids.

ENDURANCE: HIGH SIERRAS Discovery Kids Premieres October 14

PUSH

Jason: JD Roth show that works...PUSH
Chico: Oh yeah. JD knows his thing. Push.
Aaron: On NBC? Sure. On Discovery Kids? Nah. Flush.
Chico: Gordon?
Gordon: I agree with Aaron in terms of the budget, but I think that the show is a fun prospect. I am intrigued to see how discovery will deal with it. Push.
Chico: Well, given that they produced the first four series, you should have no problem with it. 3-1 Push. Finally... December sees Set for Life.

SET FOR LIFE ABC Premieres Q4 2006

PUSH

Chico: The final word on the Deal or No Deal clone from the Deal or No Deal guy...
Aaron: I'll see something like that...if only to make fun of it later. Push.
Jason: Another DOND clone---FLUSH
Gordon: I would be Set For Life if I didnt have to watch this...but I agree with Aaron. I will see it just for the train wreck value and put it up with the likes of Text2win. Push.
Chico: Jimmy's got an Emmy to back himself up. I can't wait to see what he does with this. I'm a big Jimmy fan. Push it.
Jason: Suck up :P
Gordon: And now Chico's new game show hussy - Jimmy Kimmel.
Chico: You may want to go to black now. I'm about to kill Gordon. :-) Stay turned this season to see if we're right. Big Finish next. Gordon, get over here.
Gordon: Would you like the Mark Walberg tea service to go with the Jimmy Kimmel desk?
Chico: (in the distance) C'mere you little runt! (smack)

(Sponsored by Survivor: The Warriors. Let's have Tribes. The Punks, Jones Street Boys, Van Courtland Rangers and more fight for Survival)

Chico: Warriors.... come out to PLAY-YAY! Okay, we're wrapping up this first show of the new season with this before the Big Finish, if we can have a moment.
Gordon: By all means
Chico: Today is the fifth anniversary of what will probably go down as the single-worst act of terror on American soil. Ever since then, everyday heroes have risen up to the task of making sure that such an act doesn't occur again. Today.. Take some time out to thank the many men and women who fight night and day to keep us free, and honor those who paid the ultimate price fighting that good fight. Thank you again.
Gordon: We aren't heroes. All we can do is provide entertainment to the true heroes and hope that they are entertained with what we write and give you.
Chico: That said... let's entertain. Big Finish Time!
Gordon: Yay! Who wins Rock Star?
Chico: I... really couldn't care less :-) I'm guessing Storm Large doesn't win. Out of Dilana, Toby, Magni, and Lukas. My vote is for Lukas.
Gordon: I'll go for Magni. Big Brother. Who wins?
Chico: Erika
Gordon: Ill agree with it. Boogie has been a stoolie, though if you look at it, they have been dating. Survivor Redux?
Chico: Ooohhh scandal. Look at it this way. The winner will get $500K. The loser will host My Games :-) My Mail... not happening, though. Our mail, though, is on right now. First up, Lee Hubbard. Thanks for writing, Lee!

Chico: Thanks, Lee. Judging from the YouTube clips... no, they're going with a remix of the 1999 theme. If you think about it. The Feud 99 theme wasn't a bad theme. It's just not what comes to mind when you think of Family Feud. Blame a 20-year run on that.
Gordon: Still a great question, Thanks, Lee!
Chico: I have one more mail here from our own Chris Tufts. Another Feud question

Gordon: I really hope it has been. I've HATED that part. I think O'Hurley is a great person for the show.
Chico: Well, Chris, yes and no. John O'Hurley, when it comes to game show hosts for the last 10 years, he's bling... but he's willing to make himself the joke if he needs or wants to.
Gordon: Don't forget that O'Hurley has been low brow with Celebrity Spelling Bee.
Chico: So expect good things... Good host... Good set... Good game. Historically, this should be the end for the feud, but it just keeps right on going.
Gordon: I think this is a great pick up for the Feud. We'll see how the ratings look like in the future.
Chico: All we can say is... stay tuned. I certainly will.
Gordon: Absolutely.
Chico: Okay, that's it for mail, but the game continues. You want to be a star on WLTI, but don't want the hassle of waking up at 9am every Saturday?
Gordon: You could petition us to start the show later, orrr....
Chico: you could drop a line to wlti@gameshownewsnet.com I find the latter to be the easier of the two.
Gordon: That it is.
Chico: We gotta boogie. Big thanks to Jason, Aaron, and Alex for dropping in. We hope you'll drop in next time. I'm Chico Alexander, he's Gordon Pepper, the show is We Love To Interrupt. Spread the love, everybody.
Gordon: Spread the Love...Game over.
