Your Favorite Game Show is “Blank”

This week, the Game Show Network (GSN) began airing a series determining the “50 Greatest Game Shows of All Time.”

Can I just say how much I love this network? To think that there’s a channel totally devoted to playing games just … just … makes me smile. This is the network that has such a variety of show hosts, Wink Martindale and Chuck Woolery now share a lunchroom with friggin’ Danny Bonaduce!!! Whew, can you imagine the conversations?!?!? Love.it. The only network that airs game shows that were originally broadcast when I was four years old.

How can life get any better?!?!?

BET Awards 06: A Star-Studded ASSembly

All righty, here we go. Another year, another BET Awards show. Another chance for us to see the network put on its pomp and circumstance, welcoming the best in music, athletics and entertainment to the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles, California.

And of course, I was there watching, riding solo this year, covering it all in what has become an annual running diary. I had to. I only watch BET a few times a year, mostly one Saturday a month around noon to see which aspiring rapper is holding court on “Freestyle Fridays.”

And then the awards show. That’s it.

Not sure what to expect as I settle in for the evening. They promised that this one will be the best one yet. We shall see. Ready? Herrrrre we go!
