Last night's 1 vs. 100 ep. was a bit better than the last couple, which was nice. But I'm wondering if it came at the expense of (once again) dumbing down the material. It's kind of cute to see a question where no members of the mob are incorrect, but it shouldn't be happening on the 4th question of the round. Luckily the current contestant still has a help left as he climbs into the nether regions of the dollar ladder. I seriously wanted to hit him when he didn't know his Roman numerals though. After all, any good game show fan learned these as a kid when trying to figure out the copyright date in the credits of Family Feud episodes, right?

In the meantime I've put an order in for the Deal or no Deal computer game, so I'll have a review of that when I get it. I also managed to get my hands on a Nintendo Wii, so I hope some game show games come out for that platform soon. I'm looking forward to making an ass of myself waving that crazy remote/controller at the screen to spin the Wheel of Fortune.
