"1 vs 100" October 13, 2006 series premiere
I really like this new game show.
I wonder how long Ken Jennings will last.
The next episode is Friday October 20 at 8 P.M. eastern time (an hour earlier than tonight's episode).
How does someone who hates math and is that bad at it get a job as a technical writer?

Is that like badonkadonk? I missed the show, but this makes it sound like Dave Chappel's "I Know Black People" skit.

I liked it a lot too, it moves faster than DoND. The questions were easy, except I'm another one who had no idea what badunkathunk was. I expect the questions will be harder in later rounds.
Even Bob Saget was fine. The first time I've ever not hated him. I wonder who the next d-level comedian to get a hit game show will be.

Oh, and it looks like NBC is going to populate their entire scheduling lineup with former cast members of Full House. Stamos on ER, now Saget... Dave Coulier is scheduled to replace Brian Williams as NBC's evening news anchor...

Yeah, liked the show too and it is much better than Deal or No Deal...

I liked it enough to watch a few more times. I just like the fact that this is based on knowledge and not dumb luck.
The questions were way too easy though. Seems like just about anyone with a functioning brain could safely get into the 75-150k range.

Yeah, those questions were way too easy. Usually, no matter how trivial the questions, there's usually one that gets by me - I ran the table on this game.
They didn't even get progressively tougher; the game would have been much more interesting. Then again, with the amount of people missing questions like who is in the middle chair on American Idol, I'm guessing that they can't hedge their bets too much.
