GSN advertises the heck out of Playmania, and all the buzz around it has been pretty good. So while channel surfing last night I decided to take a gander at what all the fuss is about.

I like what GSN is doing with this show, even if it really isn't much to write home about. The intangibles are what really makes it noteworthy, especially the on-air talent and the laid back nature of the format. Handling a live program is not easy and I think Shandi Finnessey definitely held her own. I especially like the banter with the camera crew and others that makes the show pretty lighthearted.

That being set, it's not going to end up on my Tivo anytime soon, and it if did, it may only be to see some of the hilarious play-at-home answers. Such as last night, during the Family Feud-esque survey game, when the question was "Name the Top 5 TV Shows With a City in the Title." Among the funnier answers were:

*LA-New York (?)
*CSI-Las Vegas (it's just CSI, folks)
*Dukes of Hazzard (which I believe was a county)
*The O.C. (which I *know* is a county)
