I don’t see how Hole in the Wall can actually be a series of shows. The premise was amusing for the first two rounds, but it got old REAL quick, like, quicker than an opened pack of shredded cheese.

Maybe they’ll start shaping the holes to resemble sexual positions. I wouldn’t mind seeing how contestants handle a Canadian Snow Plow silhouette.

I had such high hopes for Hole In The Wall, since I died laughing when I first saw the original Japanese version on YouTube a couple of years ago. Unfortunately, they made it horrible. Thanks FOX! Your track record just keeps getting better! (Yes, I am still bitter about Firefly being canceled so many years ago). Every time the chick host (I can’t be bothered to look up her name) opens her mouth, I want to stick screwdrivers in my ears and then slam my head, hammer-style, into the coffee table. Either that, or push her anorexic butt into the green pool.

Yeah, Hole was awful, wasn’t it? We didn’t even try to finish watching it.

Having been on a small-time game show myself, I can say with some confidence that those contestants were all wanna-be actors looking for work — and I pray they never ever get it.

I second GWGumby’s comments. I would much rather watch that version.

They need to completely rework “Hole.” I guess somehow people believe that if you can extend a reality competition results show (aka American Idol) from 5 minutes of content to 30 minutes or even an hour it can work for a regular game show.

They need to turn it into a survival game where the walls keep coming and getting harder (like a game of limbo) until everyone’s eliminated. That would keep things much more interesting.

Hole in the Wall was everything you said. I love Wipeout, but couldn’t take more than 5 minutes of Hole.

I really did not like Do Not Disturb. I felt like everything was ridiculously overacted, and almost every single joke was forced. Sometimes I flip back and forth between stupid sitcoms like that though just to dwell on how much I hate them.

What did you think about Fringe? I was interested enough to set my DVR for next week.
