LOL, I remember seeing an advert of this with the people in shopping trolleys being pushed into a swimming pool from a great height. Looked insane as heck.
I liked the weird ways they "left" the show. Other than that it wasn't that interesting to keep watching.

Omg yes @ Tipping Point, maybe not THE worst but it's the worst currently on. It's so slow and the questions half the tme are like they're on a Cbeebies show, they are SO easy laugh.gif

The commentary when they've point a coin in the machine on Tipping Point really cringes me out. The whole premise is ridiculous, I love the 2p machines at arcades but it shouldn't be a TV show!

There was a really really terrible one on last year (or maybe the year before) called Frozen Out or something where Uriah Rennie was a referee who just weirdly shouted "IT'S A TWIPLE!" as people pushed some sliders into different sections of ice. Truly shit.

I quite enjoyed it when it was on but even still, Prized Apart was an awful idea for a show - flying people back and forth from Morocco every week?

The first round ones are easy, the ones in the later rounds not so easy in my opinion.

I thought it was just me that didn't like Tipping Point it could easily be done in 10 minutes.

I didn't enjoy the new Bradley Walsh gameshow that was on this evening. Would rather a new series of Babushka.

Shafted, remember that?. It was a gameshow hosted by Kilroy, shown in mid 2001, 20 episodes got filmed but ITV pulled the plug after 4. On one of the unaired episodes, a lady cried because she missed out on a lot of money, when she elected to share the winnings, while her opponent opted to take it all. In 2014 it was ripped on terribly many times on "Have I Got News For You?", with a clip of Kilroy saying the "Share, or to shaft?" tagline and the associated hand movements, which HIGNFY hugely mentioned.

I was 11 or 12 at the time, but remember it well.

Then i never thought any other show would come along and be worse, until Saturday night when Len Goodman's new show "Partners in Rhyme" came on. From the point of the intro and awful theme song sung by Len, I knew we were in for a car crash.

Ant and Dec did this much better with "Wonky Donkey" on SM:TV Live.

I actually quite liked Shafted, even with Kilroy as the host, with the exception of its endgame, which was the first to use the "Prisoners Dilemna" endgame about 6 years before Goldenballs used it. Goodness, I really dislike the Prisoners Dilemna in gameshows...

The Brian Connolly-fronted Judgement Day was pretty terrible (cancelled after 2 episodes), and Move On Up, which was one of the raft of gameshows that Channel 5 showed in its early years, was fairly incomprehensible, although it did have a very jaunty theme tune, which I've just realised is on YouTube. I haven't heard it for nearly 20 years and it's still stuck in my head -



Greed on Channel 5 was pretty awful as well.

Remember "Whittle"?, that was basically an Everybody's Equal rip off according to my other half (too young to remember it myself, but an early Channel 5 show). Move on Up he also remembers and some awful karaoke show called "Night Fever". I'm 28 and he's 37 so remembers all this crap laugh.gif

He also told me "Prisoners Dilemna" was first used in "Trust Me" back in 2000. A gameshow hosted by Nasty Nick Bateman. Shown late on Channel 4.

I loved Whittle when I was a kid - I love gameshows that have lots of contestants, and Tim Vine was a great host, and very good at lifting a very low budget gameshow to be much better than it had any right to be. £250/£500 top prize though.

Cash trapped. I've been watching it for the last couple of weeks...I usually just leave ITV on in the evenings... and I still haven't got a clue what is going on in that show laugh.gif

Tipping point is alright, but Ben needs to calm down a bit laugh.gif

Agree with Cash Trapped. Don't care much for Impossible either.

Impossible is a good illustration of how the mind works. In the final it is easy for the mind to filter out the additional information that makes the question an impossible one. For example, if the question was "Which American singer was the featured artist with Luis Fonsi and Daddy Yankee on Despacito", it would be very easy not to hear the word "American".

Len's Partners In Rhyme, the pathetic rap at the beginning. How did the BBC commission this on a Saturday night last year?

Babushka - just luck instead of skill. That plus Rylan.

Tipping Point - It. Is. So. Slow.



babushka is something I really miss

and I'm not just saying it either. I think it was awesome

I think if I went on their, i'd sure have fun, because it's diffrent everytime

tipping point's okay, I understand what you mean by it being slow, but what you have to understand is that the tocans drop from a machine.. of course it's going to take time

the worst thing I've seen is so bad I don't even remember the name of it
the one with craig charles as narator.. it's Japanese I think.

the current ITV one, "britain's britest family", really annoys me.

it's not so much the idea of the game, it's that each week, you can sit their and know what she's going to ask- not word for word, but you have the idea.. their's gonna be an algebra question, their's going to be some pictures taken in a city, etc. it ruins the fun for me

eliminator

it was like a kids version of the chase, with like this creature representing the chaser

also (and shoot me for saying this, as I love ant and dec)

but I never really got in to red or black. even that vortex game was a bit repetitive after a while

deal or no deal.... load of crap. part of the reason I sat through that is that their was litirally nothing good on the other side.

their was one I watched years ago, simply called " the vault", which while good, had no originality to it what so ever. it was like well, this has been done hundreds of times before, but you know, let's just do it anyway

what were they thinking making "ejecta seat" a quiz?

that's just a general knolledge game with moving seats. it's not really that good

also, I'm going to add "perfection" and " the exit list", though the latter should at least be praised for originality

That's a really hard question.

Who was it??

All I can think of is the Canadian pop brat!
