I thought the show was fun. I thought Shatner was in his element and I think that it will catch on because it's essentially soft porn for the goodnight set or the midlife crisis set.

I think Shatner sure knows how to make drama out of thin air. It's Captain Kirk with dancing girls! Better than anything you could find in a holodeck!

I hope that Deal or No Deal's producers didn't watch this show, because they'd sue the Show Me The Money producers for copying the models approach or the big money approach. Think of the Pussycat Dolls and Deal or No Deal clashed together, only they'd be dancing. And I have yet to see someone win a million dollars on Deal or No Deal, yet someone won $590,000 on Show Me the Money. On Deal, I've seen people win only $100,000 or $200,000 yet take the deal too early. Show's pace isn't as slow as 1 vs 100, but you've got to understand that this is the 3rd Endemol USA produced show and their shows are always the same monotonous pace. How is Endemol going to handle three game shows at once on 2 networks? And I thought that the audience watching Dancing with the Stars would watch Show, have two shows in the top 5 or top 10, not a 14 million viewership drop. Now it's like 1st and 54th the way it will look in the ratings. Show is okay, but William Shatner needs to get better at it. I'll say this, Show Me the Money has a catchier theme song than the lame theme songs of DOND or 1 vs. 100! I can't get it off my head--they need to release it as a single if it's 3 minutes or so! But I don't see this game show lasting--right now, Deal or No Deal is what people are more comfortable with seeing.

I'm endelessly bothered by game shows that imitate instead of innovate. Show Me The Money was a mindless, over-produced, TACKY show that's only purpose was to bank off the success of DoND.

Had it not been for an old friend from college being their first contestant, I would've abondoned the show in the first 20 minutes.

This re-popularity of game shows is consistantly circular, but ultimately unsatisflying. So I'll hold breath for GSN to have a creative energy burst.. or maybe the new King World shows for 2007 will prove me wrong.

It's the best gameshow on TV right now.

Deal or No Deal is slower than dirt, and 1 vs 100 is slow, but faster than DoND. My main problem with the show is you can change the question 3 times each and Shatner isn't shown dancing enough.

Putting the dancerettes in booths so high up on the upper rack made me think that kids in TV land could almsot see Heaven...

Oh. Shatner, fun. Contestants, dumb as a stump.

"I managed to make it through about 45 minutes before switching over to an episode of Beyond The Break that the Tivo recorded for me."

Wow. That's 30 minutes longer than I could watch. I agree the pace of this show is way too slow. It might be different if the questions were actually difficult, but what I saw wasn't at all challenging.
Like the first contestant kept saying: "I'll pass."
