What game/quiz shows do you watch?

What a load of crap - FF is very difficult when there's only a couple of answers left to get. Even Dot from Eastenders struggled at the weekend.

Hey presto....thick.



Since they introduced celebrities, instead of "normal" families its definitely not the same and been really dumned down. Also why does it take an hour now, even with one less question in the main round (not all members have to go up to the buzzer anymore, like in the true version) and why is it no longer the first family past 300 points instead its the family leading after 4 questions (2 normal round and 2 in double money round).



Cant wait to see how they spoil the new version of Play Your cards Right when its shown later in the year (again presented by Bolton's own Vernon Kay:affraid: )

Ha ha, post of the day largehat. Made me laugh out loud it did.

It's still a tough game to play though.

I think the prizemoney is a bit shit though.

Who Wants to be a millionare used to be decent when it first started, used to be on once a week but they messed up by having it on nearly every day.

It was actually the other way round. When it first started it was on for 30 minutes every night for 2 weeks and that happened 3 times a year. They then increased the episodes to houlry but still every night for 2 weeks 2 or 3 times a year. They then made it once a week on a Saturday evening and then moved it to a Tuesday evening and then started introducing more and more celebrity episodes and eventually replaced "normal" episodes with just celebrities and then changed the rules and less questions to reach the million pound question.



They should never have changed it from the original and kept it as event television instead of flogging it until what we have now.

I love pointless, when I work late I always watch the previous days on the iplayer in the morning. That way you can skip the first ten minutes of waffle as well.

Has any seen the quiz on BBC4 called Only Connect? I consider myself to be quite intelligent but watching that makes me feel really stupid.

A: Adolf Hitler

Haha!

Q: Name a bird with a long neck
A: Naomi Campbell
Q: Name a dangerous race
A: The Arabs

These in particular...

My personal favourite!

Absolutely brilliant ! My wife came into my study to see why I was laughing so long and so loud. I like the eggheads show, and The Chase. and uni challenge.

Been trying to find the clip of the american version of family fortunes for a bit now where the following was asked: -

Q. Name something you find in your bedroom
A. A hooker

I remember the family fortunes episode when the question was "name a type of ache?"
The guy couldn't understand the question and said "fillet o fish"

Another classic from Family Fortunes.

Name a famous Fred .

Reply. Fred Flourgrader. ( The pillock with the bowler hat from the Homepride adverts.)

I have seen Only Connect a few times but it does remind me of a Granada quiz show from the late 80's early 90's along similar lines - called Connections.

I always used to enjoy Who wants to be a millionaire but now it only seems to cater for celebrities and their charities.
