This and QI have got to be the cheapest TV productions this side of Faux News, and yet we in the US can't manage to cobble together half a dozen celebs who can manage to be more extemporaneously interesting than hollywood squares. It makes me laugh, but the quality gap saddens me.


There's plenty of others, of varying quality (Have I Got News For You, Mock the Week and at times Never Mind the Buzzcocks are good). I was wondering the other day why all the quiz-coms (that's what our schedulers seem to want us to call them) are British. It's a simple format, get a topic (current affairs, public opinion, music, whatever), a host who's good at improvised comedy and several similarly minded guests and make sure all of them have an IQ of above 50. 8 out of 10 cats fails occasionally on the last requirement (Kelly Osbourne, for example). I don't know if it's been tried in the US or elsewhere. I can imagine American producers getting Kevin Federline and Paris Hilton as guests and then wondering why it bombs.

You have got The Big Bang Theory, which makes up for a lot.

love it.
the actress who plays mel was on 'never mind the buzzcocks' a couple of months ago. just a naturally funny woman.

As per the Wikipedia entry: "The overall style employing a mix of music and comedy is similar to the UK TV show Never Mind the Buzzcocks, but the question formats are different."

A great show is Spicks and Specks, and a great host is Adam Hills.

And there can never be too much Shauna Dancing

"...here’s a compilation of a few bits along the theme of ‘No News’ that I did for Time Trumpet last year. People tend to think that it’s all footage I’ve got from the BBC of newsreaders before they go on air (which I did have access to), but I made these from transmitted footage, which I tinkered with to make it look as if they weren’t saying anything. It’s not funny as such but it’s pleasingly odd I think. Enjoy! And by the way, should you be interested, my episode of Never Mind The Buzzcocks should be out sometime in March." adam-buxton.co.uk, 1/27/07
