Produced some classic moments, though, and I did like how victorious "mob" members could win money. (The original show picks the next One from the survivors, which kind of works, but doesn't fit with US contestant casting.)Spothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01222504847153680060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3149153403168306818.post-51948802206416433982013-12-23T05:43:41.841-05:002013-12-23T05:43:41.841-05:001 vs. 100!

I don't even know...1 vs. 100! Good game show. <br /><br />I don't even know why they canceled it. Should've kept it going to avoid Deal or No Deal's overexposure.Spothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01222504847153680060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3149153403168306818.post-3957106541778642222013-12-20T11:53:43.921-05:002013-12-20T11:53:43.921-05:00I didn't realize how strong their current line...I didn't realize how strong their current lineup really is.

Other than it being an expensive show to produce by Friday standards, that's the only reason I can think of for canceling the show.<br /><br />I liked TBJ and was sad to see it canceled. I think Jerry Orbach's death was the driving factor because why would NBC bother creating a third spin-off of L&O if there was a fear of overexposure? Besides, SVU picked up a few ticks that season, while CI's drop can be explained by the show having to face Desperate Housewives and the mothership faced similarly-skewing CSI: NY.Spothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01222504847153680060noreply@blogger.com
