Now just about as annoying muted

I turned the program on, without sound, for the first time in a while tonight. The contestant was a woman in a blue top, looking a bit like a slightly heavier Meredith Baxter, and just watching her mouth move incessantly (even just glancing from time-to-time) was annoying in itself. Turning-off the mute briefly confirmed she sounded as it had appeared muted - like a cross between a deranged giant macaw and an equally deranged hyena.

The annoyance level for this program has now gone from being thoroughly so when listening as well as watching, to even when having it muted and glancing just occasionally.

The next step is that one now risks becoming annoyed even KNOWING that is scheduled for future airings.

Thank the Lord for shows like "Monk," Burn Notice," and "Seinfeld/Raymond/Griffith" re-runs, amidst the hell of programs like this and the vast majority of reality shows and other "game" programs.

She made a deal for $283,000 with 3 cases left. Her case had $300.

Enough of these "reality" game shows already.

I get so tired of the overdone "dramatic" pauses and the "We'll find out.........When we get back!" (insert 'awwwwww' here).

I want to watch shows that are entertaining. I don't want to spend 15 minutes, if not more, being told what I am going to see later in the program/after the break/when we return. SKIP IT! Just let me watch the dang show!

I don't need the game explained to me after EVERY commercial break either.

I no longer watch DOND, let alone NBC period. I could care less about Z list "stars" risking their so called lives in a circus OR Z list "stars" playing Family Feud of all things. All this from the network the cancelled "Journeyman."

I'm stickin to the movie channels when Fox doesn't have something good on.

Those dramatic pauses are nothing compared to Moment Of Truth:

You're answer is *30 second pause* true.
