My Games Fever
My Games Fever isn't worth checking out because it's good. It's worth checking out because it's terribly bad. The two-hour commercial-less interactive game show has just started airing live on 10 Fox-owned stations. The show features annoying hosts who ask viewers to solve incredibly easy puzzles for a chance to win a few hundred dollars. The problem is: the hosts have to stretch forever because no one calls in. When someone finally calls in, they always sound stoned and are never excited about the small amount of money they've just won. Since the show is live, it's only a matter of time before someone calls in to prank the show, making it worth checking out. The show airs from 1-3 pm/EST everyday.
