The state of TV game shows has me very concerned. The new versions of the classics just don't cut it. The Family Feud isn't the same without Richard Dawson slamming his tongue in every female contestant's mouth regardless of her age or appearance. Classic SNL skits with Will Ferrel as Trebeck killed Jeopardy. I do like Drew Carry as a comedian but no one can replace Bob Barker. You can feel how uncomfortable and embarrassed Wayne Brady is doing 'Let's Make A Deal'. Just thinking about it conjures images of a future news story that Wayne hung himself. Then, when people ask me if I can believe it, I turn to them and say "Shit. Did you ever see him on that game show? I am only surprised it took this long."

Maybe they can revive the classic The Match Game. You know the one. The MC would read off a sentence but instead of giving you the last word(s) he would say "Blank". Then the contestant would try to match the celebrity panel to get points. Here is an example. "The farmer went out to milk the cow but instead he 'BLANKED' it." This may seem easy to you but you would be surprised how many different directions people go with these.

I know I am no Gene Rayburn but I will throw one out here to see what we get. Feel free to respond or add your own using the comment section below. Here we go...After reading the past few weeks of blogs, I decided to 'BLANK' on my computer.
