The bible show should only be seen on Sunday mornings and make some more room for other things.
starwheel, do you mean the Meow Mix Think Like A Cat Game Show hosted by Chuck Woolery from 2008 where some of the rounds are rip-offs from other game shows like Jeopardy! and The Newlywed Game?
also was it a 30 min. or 60 min. show?
I am all for this game. I will also add that I have read my bible 4 times. I have read it 4 times. Once, in the King James and in today's English and in the Study Helps Bibles. I am a Christian and proud of it.
I do not believe that God is staring down angrily on this game show. Although I haven't seen it yet.
I will admit though that God is staring down angrily on this mess that the world is in today. Are we going back to the days of Sodom and Gomorrah (spelling?)
Interesting point. I don't know about Sunday mornings, but I do think that this would be a much better morning/daytime show than a primetime show. I don't think this would be the type of show that would draw in high ratings from younger people, but you never know. Anything is possible.
If the show makes it through the pilot and gets half hour episodes, I would want GSN to air the show a few times a day. A new episodes in primetime, an episode late night and an episodes during early afternoon daytime. But Lingo was the worst overload I've even see on the network from June-August.
To be quite honest, they're going to have to work hard to make this show appeal to the less religiously motivated viewers as well.
If not then they're only going to attract a limited audience.
What does me breaking out my bible got to do with anything? I know Song of Solomon is in the bible and I know where it is. The person made the statement the BIBLE never made anyone do whatever it is they were saying. Someone else (and it may have been you, I didn't go track it down before writing this) stated it did and to go read about Lot and his daughters. I simply stated the BIBLE hadn't been written yet so it was a poor example.
One other thing I'd like to say for the record. Those of you saying this belongs on a religious channel, not GSN. This is an experiment to create a game show that makes money from advertising. If this was on TBN, Daystar, EWTN, etc so on and so forth, it'd be non profit and it would be funded by viewers, not advertisers.
I can give you one way they could make it appealing to non religious people. Make the show between a non-religious person and a person claiming they are. Then see who knows more about the bible. I know plenty of aetheist who know a lot more about the bible than a lot of people I go to church with.
