• Come on, this sounds awesome! But, each one of them should have a giant bottle of Courvosier in their square and be drinking through the whole show, that way there would be the possible added value of a 90′s nightclub style shooting!

• I suggest they put an ascot on Coolio and have him do his best Paul Lynde impression, then I’d watch.

• That nasal whirring sound you hear is Paul Lynde spinning in his grave.

• DJ Jazzy Jeff for the block. True or false. African Americans revel in all re-makes of white popular culture starring African Americans as though the concept is oppositional antidote to blackface and minstrel shows. (Contestant : But isn’t that just another minstrel show catering to the worst of racist expectations of who they are and how they behave? Same race. Different plantation.)

• This is so sad. Hollywood has so MANY YOUNG…MIDDLE AGE…OLD creative types.

  The powers that be aren’t even trying. Well, judging from this they aren’t

• At first, I thought this was a horrible April fools joke. Sadly, it’s not April 1st yet.

  It’s a sad day for what’s left of Game Shows… especially for anyone involved with the Original Hollywood Squares. I hope they at least get paid for this putrid idea.

• Mark: They need you on the “In Living Color” reboot, that’s a promise.

• Wish I thought of that. But they need more women on camera. At least 3 or 4 more.

• Oh great. A show where the f bomb is used in every other word, so you can’t even understand what they’re saying. Now there’s a knee slapper.

  Who gets to replace Waylon and Madame?

• Can we now pronounce hip hop officially dead? Maybe Ice-T has to do an erectile dysfunction spot first.

  Congrats to MTV2, in a weird way this seems perversely watchable.
