Monday night timeslot proves just too tough for SBS entertainment series.
It was a bizarre choice of timeslot given the stiff competition. The fact that the show has been painfully slow and unfunny from the start hasn’t helped either. How this ever managed to get renewed beyond the first batch of episodes, I’ll never understand. David Astle consistently delivered the show’s best zingers (which is an unfortunate reflection on the quality of the “comedians” they have on the show every week), and Lily was often too nice for her own good as the guests were obviously there for an easy payday, and usually made little to no effort in the actual games.
Either bring us new episodes of the original format or send this very sad cow to the slaughterhouse.
