On a similar note(1), I saw an ad tonight for ABC's new game show "The
Chair" which should be airing this week. In this show apparently they strap
the contestants into a chair and monitor their heart rate while asking
general knowledge questions. If their heart rate goes above a
pre-determined limit (which should be much lower than the safety limit on
The Chamber) they start losing prize money until they calm down. When they
get a question wrong or run out of prize money, they're out of the chair.
Oh, and they try to distract the contestants with fire and other stuff to
increase their heart rate.
Between the two I think The Chair will be the better show, but that's not
saying much. ;) Personally I get so nervous on camera that I'd probably
lose right away on this one but I think I'd do ok on The Chamber.
Oh, and who the heck is coming up with game show ideas now??? Hey here's
one: Let's call it "The Flood." We put you in a tank and slowly fill it
with water while asking trivia questions. If you get a question wrong we
double the rate of the water flow. If you get 20 question correct before
you drown, you win. I'm off to pitch it to CBS...

1. Apparently ABC thinks that the shows are so similar that they're sueing
FOX over it.

| (...) Friends came over for dinner and told us that this show was going to be on tonight -- so we watched it. At least we were eating desert while it was on. I don't think the show will last since no contestent screamed to be let out of the chamber (...) (23 years ago, 14-Jan-02, to lugnet.mediawatch)
