It came on either at 8 or 9 pm on NBC last night. It's supposed to be a gameshow about 1 person trying to match identities of people based on looks. A couple of them are very obvious, but it gets really hard as time goes on.

Anyone else catch the show last night? The good? The Bad?

I do like the concept of the show, and I do like the "lifeline" structure as well. However, I hate the host (Pen something...the 1st half of Pen and Teller). I didn't think we could've found a crappier gameshow host than Danny Tanner...but I was wrong. Also, they have annoying delays to add suspense for the 1st 2 or 3 obvious answers that are chosen. Not to mention, everyone who gets picked correctly as a match of their identity has a very cheesy quote. For example: The main person can pick a person to be a retired university professor...the camera goes to the man in suspect....then they would say "congratulations...you passed the test" as he puts his thumbs up.

Eh...what do you guys think of the show?

I thought it was ok, but it seemed too easy. The guy got it right everytime, and as he eliminates people, it's only going to get easier. I think they'll be paying out the 500,000 far too often for the show to be fun to watch.

Honestly, I was a little disappointed by it. I thought they had a real opportunity here to teach the american public a valuable lesson on making judgements on appearances alone. The show would be better if every time a contestant makes a mistake, he or she turns to the camera, shrugs, and says in a very sorrowful voice "I guess I've learned my lesson, not to judge books by their covers. Metaphorically speaking of course. Though perhaps this is a valid lesson on books as well." Then this show would be truly great, and would probably change america for the better.

They should do this show with different types of Asians.

Japanese, Korean, Chinese, Philipino

They could do Jews and Gentiles

Spaniards, Cubans, Puerto Ricans, Domicans, Mexicans, South Americans, Brazilians, Italians.

Think of the press.

It looks stupid, but it has Penn.

If the Devil had a door-to-door salesman persona, it would look and act like Penn. BTW, their Vegas show is very good.
