My wife and I also saw it for the first time this past week (I am under the impression that it's a new show, that this was the first episode) and we both loved it, so we agree with you completely. Four thumbs up! We consider it to be the anti-Steve Harvey Family Feud filth.
He's still on the air because studios want him there in order to pull in the yokels who yuck it up watching him and go on to support the shows' sponsors. Like you, I fail to see any attraction.
I've had a burr in my saddle concerning Steve Harvey ever since his 1990s sitcom, The Steve Harvey Show. He played a teacher (who eventually was promoted to vice prinicipal during the course of the show's run) whose grasp of the English language was so appalling that for me at least, it advertised the best reasons to abolish Affirmative Action. His true fame was centered on his long-time radio career and his background as a comedian, which is fine, but in order to get ratings and to cater to his demographic, the TV executives ignored common sense and cast an uneducated person as an educator. In a society that is cowed by anything on a screen, and a youth population that emulates everything it sees there, Harvey as an educator is simply a blatant mistake.
Fast-forward to his stint as the newest host of Family Feud. Still catering to the lowest common denominator in order to rake in profits from and for sponsors, a once family-oriented show has become an embarrassing cesspool of toilet "humor" and sexual innuendo that belongs more fittingly in some X-Rated smuthouse than on broadcast TV. Shocking the viewers has become the rule rather than the exception, leaving the show unwatchable for those who prefer decency. There is a time and a place for everything, and Harvey has both of them wrong.
My wife and I were glad to find Ellen Degeneres' clean, fun, funny, and appropriate show to watch.
(The rant is all complete now; move along, move along, there's nothing more to see here, people, so please go on to your regularly-scheduled activities. Break it up, move along.) ~
OK, I just tuned in for a few minutes and they were doing blindfolded musical chairs. Seriously? I don't know if I've ever seen a dumber thing on TV. I have to wonder about the intellect, or lack thereof, of anyone who would waste his or her time watching something so inane.
